How to Use the Hearing instrument
On/Off Function
1) When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is
turned on and programme 1 will be activated
) To turn the instrument off, open the battery compartment.
Many individuals use their fingernail to pull it open.
) The instrument is then switched off
4) Whenever you are not using the instrument, remember to turn it off
to stop battery consumption.
Place your hearing instrument behind your ear and insert the tube
in your ear. If you prefer not to have the device ”on” while placing it
behind your ear, your hearing care professional can activate a function
(SmartStart) which will delay the instrument turning on. This function
will prevent the hearing instrument from squealing while the tube or
mould is being inserted in the ear. It delays the switch-on time by 10
seconds after closing the battery compartment. A beep each second is
presented during this time
inserting the instrument (with earmould)
1) Hold the earmould between your thumb and
index finger and position its sound outlet in
your ear canal
) Slide the earmould all the way into your ear
with a gentle, twisting movement (insertion
can be easier if you gently pull your ear up
and back with your other hand)
) 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) Place the hearing instrument behind your ear
5) Move the earmould up and down and press
gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in
the ear
6) When the earmould and hearing instrument
are correctly positioned, and you have not
already turned it on, switch on your instru-
ment by closing the battery door
Tip
Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
