Positioning the hearing aid in the ear
Hold the earmould with your thumb and forefinger and
slowly guide it into your ear canal until you feel resist-
ance. Let go of the earmould and use the tip of your
forefinger to gently push it into your ear until it rests
comfortably in your ear canal.
To help position the earmould properly you could pull
the outer ear backwards and upwards with the oppo-
site hand.
Place the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the earwire
rests comfortably on the ear, close to your head.
The illustrations show an earmould. For further infor-
mation on ear-tip/earmould types and procedures, see
the separate ear-set user manual provided.
