Insertion (IIC, CIC, ITC, and ITE)
1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index finger, either above
and below or on the sides. For IIC, there is a dot on the top side of the shell to show
orientation for insertion.
2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal. Turn the top part of the hearing
instrument gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks behind the fold of skin
above your ear canal.
3. Insert the hearing instrument into your ear canal. Opening and closing your mouth
may ease insertion.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing
instruments should fit snugly but comfortably. If the hearing instruments cause irritation
of the ears, contact your hearing care professional.

Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument yourself.

Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during insertion.
Removal options (IIC, CIC and remote microphone)
1. Hold the removal cord with your thumb and index finger and pull outward.
2. Hold the edges of the hearing instrument with your thumb and forefinger
and pull outward while slightly rotating your hand forward.
3. If remote microphone hearing instruments do not have a removal cord,
gently pull outward with the microphone tubing.
Removal (ITC and ITE)
1. Hold the edges of the hearing instrument with your thumb and forefinger.
2. Pull outward while slightly rotating your hand forward.

Note: Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulty removing
