Quick Start Guide
Welcome to your new Lucid fio and welcome to
a whole new world of hearing! These devices are
designed to help you hear better and allow you to
interact with the world in ways you may not have done
in many years. We wanted to give you a quick guide
to getting started before getting into all the details
contained herein…
Check your ears for any obstructions like
ear wax and make sure your ears are dry.
If possible, have a professional check
your ears and remove any debris and
wax build up.
Charge your fio device. Your fio comes
partially charged, but for the best
experience you’ll need to charge it fully
using the included USB-C cable. For more
detailed instructions, please see page 11.

Choose your eartips. Your fio comes
with 3 eartip options and 2 sizes of each
eartip: vented, fully closed, and micro-
vented. You’ll want to select your eartips
depending on your hearing profile and
ear size. Please refer to page 10 for further
details on choosing the right eartips.
Select the program that works best for you,
adjust the volume, and enjoy better hearing!
Please see page 16 for further information on
which of the four programs is right for you.
Use your phone camera to scan this code and
download either the iPhone or Android app,
depending on which type of phone you have.

Charging Lights Wearing Your New Hearing Aids
There are three sets of light indicators. The lower set
of lights indicate the amount the charging case has
charged. The left and right lights indicate the amount
the hearing aids have charged.
When inserting your hearing aids for the first time, there
can be feedback (whistling) if your hearing aids are not
fully inserted or you do not have a good seal.
The adjustment period of wearing hearing aids takes
time, but soon you’ll be hearing clearly.
Begin by inserting your hearing aids into the case and
make sure the volume is at the minimum setting. Then
remove the hearing aids from the case and place in your
ears. Repeat as needed to find the right volume. You
may also want to try experimenting with the different
programs in order to find the right profile to fit
your hearing.
Your new fio™ hearing aids are set to the Mild hearing
loss program to start. You can customize the acoustics
of your fio hearing aids through the Lucid Hearing
mobile app. You may want to try experimenting with
the different hearing loss programs to find the one
that sounds the best to you.

Choosing the Correct Ear Tip Replacing the Ear Tips
Find your fit with our patented vented eartips. The
eartips should fit well enough that the hearing aids feel
secure but not too tight. You may need to try all of them
to find one you’re comfortable with.
Vented tips are the
most natural sounding
since they let in
ambient sound while
also amplifying where
needed. It allows for
a full range sound but
may not be the best
for someone with
more pronounced
hearing loss.
The micro-vented
dome tips are
designed for
a smooth and
transparent sound
that accommodates
a tighter fitting ear
canal while still
allowing an adequate
amount of ambient
sound in.
Gently pull on the tip until
it comes off. You may
need to twist it using a
back and forth motion.
Align the new tip with the
dome facing outward.
Press tip onto hearing
aid until it is fully on the
receiver and the wax stop
is flush with the entrance
to the dome tip.
Note: Improper replacement of ear tips could result in the ear
tip coming off of the fio™ and being lodged in the ear canal.
Refer to page 11 for proper ear tip replacement.
Closed tips are going to
give you a more direct
sound energy from the
hearing aids to be clearer.
They will block out more
of the ambient sound
while allowing more of
the direct sound energy
from the hearing aids to
be louder. These are
more suitable for people
with more pronounced
hearing issues.

Technical Data
Warning to Hearing Care Professionals:
Hearing care professionals should advise a prospective
hearing aid user to consult promptly with a licensed
physician (preferably an ear specialist) before dispensing
a hearing aid if the hearing care professional determines through
inquiry, actual observation, or review or any other available information
concerning the prospective user, that the prospective user has any of
the following conditions:
(i) Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
(ii) History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
(iii) History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the
previous 90 days.
(iv) Acute or chronic dizziness.
(v) Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the
previous 90 days.
(vi) Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at
500 hertz (Hz), 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz.
(vii) Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a
foreign body in the ear canal.
(viii) Pain or discomfort in the ear. Special care should be exercised
in selecting and fitting a hearing aid whose maximum sound
pressure level exceeds 132 decibels because there may be risk
of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing aid user

28 29
CAUTION: Important Notice for Prospective
Hearing Aid Users:
Good health practice requires that a person with a
hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician
(preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the
ear) before purchasing a hearing aid. Licensed physicians
who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as
otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhinolaryngologists. The
purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically
treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified
and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you
a written statement that states that your hearing loss has
been medically evaluated and that you may be considered a
candidate for a hearing aid. The physician will refer you to an
audiologist or a hearing care professional, as appropriate,
for a hearing aid evaluation.
Regulatory Information:
Please note that these devices are not designed to restore
your normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from organic conditions such as disease,
wax blockage, or any physiological conditions you may have.
