1. Insert the ear-set in the ear while holding the lower

part of the tube/earwire. Pulling the outer ear upwards

and backwards at the same time can be helpful.

2. Then place the hearing aid behind the ear. The hearing

aid should rest comfortably on the ear, close to your

head.

Your hearing aid can be fitted using different types of ear-sets. See the sep-

arate ear-set manual for more information about your ear-set.
