Direct Audio Input

You can connect a DAI (Direct Audio Input) adapter to the bottom of your hearing aid. Once
connected, the hearing aid automatically switches to DAI. The sound is then sent directly to your
hearing aid using a cable or a wireless FM system.

If you want to be able to hear what happens around you, you can combine the DAI input with the
sounds picked up by your hearing aid's microphones.

NOTE: Your hearing aid's battery will drain faster if you use the DAI functionality.

How to connect a DAI adapter

1. Align the tip of your DAI

adapter with the groove on
top of the battery door.

2. Move the adapter towards

the battery door.

3. Click the adapter onto the

hearing aid.
