l

 Whistling/feedback occurs when amplified sound returns to the microphone and is  

   then re-amplified. This can be resolved by lowering the volume (when feasible).

l

 Most hearing aids whistle when the dome is not inserted correctly. Try re-seating the 

   ear dome into your ear canal for a better fit.

l

 If 

whistling occurs when raising the volume

, you should 

try a closed dome, or  

   ZipTip

, to reduce feedback and increase amplification. 

l

 Wax or debris in ear canal, or sound tube can cause whistling. Clean tubing/tip (see 

   page 16-17) and ear canal, and replace tubing/tip if they appear worn.

Please note: When an object (hand, hat, person, wall, etc.) comes close to your  

ear while wearing hearing aids, you may experience whistling. This is normal for  

all microphones, not just microphones in hearing aids.
