Instruction for Use

26

Plastic headband
When selecting the correct size of plastic 
headband, make sure that it fits comfortab-
ly on the patient. The conductor plate of the 
plastic headband must be placed behind 
the ear on the mastoid. If necessary, the po-
sition can be varied accordingly. The patient 
must be instructed accordingly. Wearing 
the plastic headband should be perceived 
as comfortable as possible.

The plastic headband is available in 
4 different sizes (small, medium, stan-

dard, large) from BHM. Only plastic head-
bands from BHM may be used.

Headbands and softbands
The adapters for wearing the hearing sys-
tem, which are included with the hearing 
system, can be sewn into individual head-
bands and softbands. Appropriate instruc-
tions for this are available from BHM. Ensure 

are used. The decision regarding which de-
vice should be worn on the left-hand or 
right-hand side is made by the hearing care 
professional during the fitting. In order to 
identify each device clearly, a marking sti-
cker must be attached onto the hear ing 
system, as depicted in symbolic image 1. 

Mechanical fitting

The hearing system is used together 
with the corresponding wearing op-

tion. Make sure that the wearing options 
are the correct size and fit the patient cor-
rectly!

Improper use and incorrect selection 
of the sizes of the wearing options 

can lead to skin irritation, pressure points 
and pain for the patient. If any of these sym-
ptoms occur during use, the application 
must be stopped immediately and a new 
fitting must be performed.
