Introduction
The Solo is an advanced and smart amplifier designed for occassional use
for enhanced hearing. It amplifies speech and reduces background noise
in select environments. The speaker is in the canal, which provides a more
natural listening experience.
In addition, it has:
1. Improved speech recognition
2. Superior feedback and noise reduction
4. Environment preferences
5. Moisture Resistance
The Solo is not a hearing aid and is not intended to assist with hearing loss.
If you think you may have hearing loss, please visit an ear, nose, and throat
doctor or an audiologist for a diagnosis.

4. Close the battery compartment
completely. Your Solo should now
be switched ON.
Battery Use
When you are not using your Solo
(e.g. when you go to sleep) we
recommend opening the battery
compartment completely to
preserve battery power. Leaking
batteries damage the Solo.
Please remove battery when the
Solo is not in use for a prolonged
period of time.
Low Battery Warning
When your battery runs low, the Solo
will emit continuous beeps.

Battery Safety
Batteries contain harmful substances
that pollute the environment:
• Do not dispose of batteries in
household trash.
• Dispose of batteries according to
federal and local regulations.
• Never attempt to recharge
batteries that are not
rechargeable as this could result
in an explosion.
• Keep batteries away from sources
of high temperature.
• Keep batteries away from
children and pets.
• Do not carry batteries loose in
your pocket or purse.
• Do not place batteries in your
mouth; if swallowed, consult a
physician.

Switching Your Solo
ON / OFF
The Solo can be switched “ON”
or “OFF” through its battery
compartment. When the battery
door is closed, the Solo is switched
“ON.”
When the battery door is fully open,
the Solo is “OFF.”
When the Solo is not in use, we
recommend opening the battery
compartment in order to preserve
battery power.

The Solo can be inserted in 3 easy steps:
1. Place the Solo over the top of your ear, so that the hard casing is behind
your ear and the wire is in front.

2. Push the dome into your ear until it sits comfortably in the canal and the
wire lies flat against the side of your head. The dome should be just inside
the ear canal. You should not see it if placed correctly.

3. Place the retention guard into the bowl of your ear.
If retention guard is too long, remove dome and pull it off. See page 20
for instructions on how to remove the dome.
To remove your Solo, hold the wire and gently pull the dome out of your
ear canal.

Getting the Right Dome Fit
Function
Dome fit is just as important as the technology and design of the Solo.
The dome serves a dual purpose:
1. To keep the speaker stable and in place inside the ear canal.
2. To prevent sound leakage and ensure sound reaches the ear drum.
We include several dome sizes in order for you to get the proper fit.

18
Attaching the Dome
To Attach the Dome:
1. Place new dome over the speaker.
2. Press until the dome snaps onto the speaker.
3. Make sure that the ear dome is securely fastened.You should be able
to tug it slightly without removing it.

3. Insert your fingernails between the dome and speaker, then pinch.
4. Pull the dome off.

Dome Sizing
Dome Size and Fit
Always ensure that the dome is attached to the speaker prior to inserting in
ear. Insert the dome deep into canal without causing pain.
You should aim to have a tight and snug fit inside your canal, similar to how
a cork seals a bottle of wine. If the dome is smaller than your ear canal, you
will experience sound leakage and feedback, in addition to instability of the
Solo. See below.
1. Dome too small 2. Dome fits, but still
leaks out sound
3. Dome fits properly
and seals the canal
