General

Fine tuning loudness

Ordinarily, you cannot fine tune loudness in your
Passion hearing aid.

Depending on the model however, you can use a re-
mote control with your hearing aid to fine-tune loud-
ness. Each time you adjust the volume via your remote
control, you will hear a beep-tone. For help to deter-
mine whether you could benefit from a remote control,
please consult your hearing care professional.
