degree of hearing loss, anatomy of the ear, and individual style preferences. This guide is designed
to help you t and manage in-the-ear hearing systems. Please note that the hearing instrument

Fitting an ITE with Oasis
All in-the-ear hearing instruments are programmed with Oasis 24.0 or higher software, New Standard
(no.2) programming cables, and either the Programming Adapter Mini or the FlexConnect Mini.
CIC and IIC
CIC and IIC are programmed with the Programming Adapter Mini.
1 Gently remove the battery door by pulling it up and away from the instrument as shown on the picture
below. Do not use a twisting action.
2 Attach the battery-like end of the Programming Adapter Mini to the instrument. Ensure that the hinge
pin on the hearing instrument is connected to the adapter.
3 Gently push the adapter in the direction shown, similar to the way that you would normally close the
batter drawer
4 Once the adapter is in the position shown, it is ready to be used with the tting software
When nished programming, detach the Programming Adapter Mini as you did in step 1
then reattach the battery drawer.
