Getting to know your hearing instruments
Your hearing instruments have no controls.
If you want to adjust the volume or switch hearing
programs manually, you can ask your Hearing Care
Professional about a remote control option.
Water protection
The unique design makes your hearing instruments
waterproof. For example, the battery
compartment has a special seal and the
membranes on the battery compartment
provide air required for the battery function
while keeping water out.
It is, however, important that you observe a few basic
rules:
■
Your hearing instruments are only protected against
water immersion, when worn with an earhook
and swim-mold. The swim-mold is a custom-made
ear piece that is based on the anatomy of your ear.
■
Moisture inside the hearing instruments may
nevertheless be produced, e. g. by condensation.
Follow the instructions for drying in section
"Maintenance and care".
