Operating instructions

Your hearing aids come with a push button that 

allows you to further adjust them.

Push button - program control

Your hearing aids are equipped with 

a push button which can be used to 

switch between programs. Each time 

you push the button, you will move to a new 

hearing aid program. 

Your hearing aids beep to indicate which 

program you are in.

Program 1 (e.g. AutoMic)

1 beep

Program 2 (e.g. speech in noise)

2 beeps

Program 3 (e.g. telephone)

3 beeps

Program 4 (e.g. music)

4 beeps

Please see the front of this booklet for a listing 

of your personalized programs.

Using the telephone

As telephones do not all work the same, you 

may experience different results from different 

phones. You can use many phones by simply 

holding the receiver to your ear, without the 

need to change to a dedicated telephone 

program on your hearing aid. You may need to 

move the handset slightly up or back to find the 

position that sounds best to you.
Depending on the phone type you use, your 

hearing healthcare professional might have 

selected a dedicated phone program on your 

hearing aids.
