Hearing aids with earmolds
1.
Hold the earmold between
your thumb and index
finger, with the opening
facing toward your ear
canal and the hearing aid
resting above your ear.
2. Carefully insert the
earmold in your ear. You
may need to twist it
slightly to the back. The
earmold should fit into
your ear snugly and
comfortably. Gently pull
down and back on your
earlobe to help you insert
the earmold into your ear
canal more easily.
3. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.
Putting your hearing aids on your ears
Your hearing aids will be color-coded with a
marking on the outside of the hearing aid:
red = right ear; blue = left ear.
Hearing aids with domes
1.
Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.
2. Hold the wire where it
attaches to the dome and
gently push the dome into
your ear canal. The wire
should lie flush against
your head and not stick out.
3. If there is a retention piece,
place it in your ear so it
rests at the bottom of the
opening of your ear canal.
