Whistling 
(“Feedback”)

Your TweakConnect has a best-in-class 
feedback management system. However, 
when your hand is near the device, you 
may hear a whistling noise, which is called 
“feedback.” This may be caused by amplified 
sound bouncing off your hand back into the 
instrument. The noise usually quits when 
you take your hand away.

If the whistling doesn’t stop once you’ve 
moved your hand away, ensure that the 
amplifier case is positioned properly behind 
the ear, and that the tip/dome is positioned 
properly in the ear canal.

Try adjusting the volume. Tap the lower 
portion of the rocker switch to decrease 
volume. 

Consider using one of the domes instead 
of the sleeve tip. If feedback continues, 
consider using one of the more closed 
domes or change to an earhook with a 
dome.

Your TweakConnect may need to be reset. 
See page 33 (“How to Start Over”) for 
instructions. 

If the above fails to reduce feedback, call 
TweakConnect Support at 1-888-815-3240.

Sound is 
Distorted, 
Unclear, 
Intermittent or 
has Static Noise

Replace the battery.

Make sure the tube and tip/dome are not 
clogged. (Refer to page 23 for cleaning 
instructions.)

Make sure the amplifier is clean and dry. 
We recommend nightly use of a drying 
appliance by Dry & Store to remove 
moisture and prevent corrosion.

If you are near an electromagnetic field 
(e.g. near a computer screen or fluorescent 
lights), step away to see if the static clears.

Your TweakConnect may have a poor 
battery contact or may not be set up 
properly. Call TweakConnect Support at 
1-888-815-3240.
