Your hearing instrument may be
programmed to inform you when the
battery should be replaced for best
system performance. You may hear an
intermittent series of beeps and/or
experience low amplification power or
volume. Change the battery when
either of these occur.
Power-on delay
Your hearing instrument may be
equipped with a “power-on delay”
feature.
This feature delays sound from entering
your hearing instrument when it is first
turned on, so that you may insert the
hearing instrument into your ear
without experiencing unpleasant
feedback (whistling).
On/Off using the program button
Your IMPACT R can also be programmed
by your NHS Audiologist to be turned
on and off using the program button.

Grid-Dome to remove cerumen
from the grid.

Moulds are easily damaged when
handled wrongly.
