3. Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so
that it tucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
4. Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is posi-
tioned correctly in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease
insertion.
5. Make sure the hearing aid is seated behind the ear.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper inser-
tion, hearing aids should fit snugly but comfortably. If hearing aids cause
irritation of the ears, contact your hearing care professional. Never attempt
to modify the shape of the hearing aid, earmoulds, or tubing yourself.

Tip
: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your op-
posite hand during insertion.
Low battery warning
When the batteries are low on power, your hearing aids reduce the volume, and play a mel-
ody until they are empty and turn off. The melody will recur every 5 minutes for SR70/80
models, and every 15 minutes for GAN90.

NOTE: Keep spare batteries on hand.
