Technical Data
Intended Use:Personal Sound Amplifiers (PSAPs) are intended to
amplify environmental sound for non-hearing impaired consumers. They
are intended to accentuate sounds in specific listening environments, rather
than for everyday use in multiple listening situations. They are not intended
to compensate for hearing impairment or to address listening situations
that are typically associated with and indicative of hearing loss. Examples of
situations in which PSAPs typically are used include hunting (listening for
prey), bird watching, listening to lectures with a distant speaker, and listening
to soft sounds that would be difficult for normal hearing individuals to hear.

Inserting the Battery
1. Remove the brown colored tab from the flat, (+)
positive side of the size 312 battery. Wait one minute
for battery to reach full power before using (or
testing) battery.
2. Open battery holder gently, using your fingernail or
thumbnail. Pull out on the small lip of the battery
holder located on the lower part of the HHE-6205.
3. Locate the + symbol on the inside top rim of the
battery holder. This indicates that the flat, positive
side of the battery should face up in the same
direction as the + symbol.
4. Place the battery in the battery holder –
NOT directly inside the HHE-6205.
Fit the battery in the holder with the
flat, positive (+) side facing up.
5. Close the battery holder.
NEVER force the battery holder closed.If the holder does not close easily
then the battery is probably upside down.

There are four sizes of slim-tubing available for the right
and left ear. Attached to your HHE-6205 is the size we
feel works best for most people. We have also included an
additional size slim-tubing for you to try if needed.
Additional sizes are available by calling 1-800-221-2099.
Right slim-tubing: 0R, 1R, 2R, 3R
Left slim-tubing: 0L, 1L, 2L, 3L
Which is left and right: Your HHE-6205 can be
used in either ear by selecting a right slim-tubing
or a left slim-tubing. Each slim-tubing is preformed
to “point” into either the right or left ear.
Right slim-tubing has red lettering
Left slim-tubing has blue lettering.
It’s important for the slim-tubing to fit correctly: slim-tubing should
fit snugly against your ear once the HHE-6205 and eartip are in place. If not,
the slim-tubing may be too short or too long. Try a different slim-tubing length.
If you need a different size slim-tube simply call 1-800-221-2099.

Eartip choices
We offer a variety of eartip options. We have attached the eartip style that we feel
works best for most. Also included are several other eartip options.
If you have trouble with the fit of the eartip or if you experience feedback (squeal),
give the other eartips a try.
How to Attach Dome Eartips:
1. Line up the narrow tubing nozzle with the opening on the
inside of the eartip.
2. Push together firmly until the eartip is securely attached.
Wiggle the eartip to be certain it stays in place.
How to Remove Dome Eartips:
1. Hold the eartip tightly and grasp the tubing directly behind the eartip. Pull firmly.
(Replace eartips as needed.)
Vent
How to Remove the ZipTip:
1. Hold the ZipTip tightly and grasp the tubing directly behind the ZipTip.
2. Pull firmly. (Replace ZipTips as needed, if damaged or worn.)
NOTE: There is a small sleeve inside the ZipTip that may remain on the end of the tubing when removing.
If this happens, simply re-attach the ZipTip, grasp that area of the ZipTip tightly and pull away from the tubing.
How to Attach the ZipTip:
1. Line up the narrow tubing nozzle with the opening on the inside of the
ZipTip (the hole that goes through the longest portion of the ZipTip).
2. Push together firmly until the ZipTip is securely attached. Wiggle the ZipTip to be certain it stays in place.
Tulip dome eartip: Designed to help reduce feedback. Provides a great
fit for a wide variety of ear canal shapes and sizes. Available in one size.
Open dome eartips: Helpful for those using their amplifier on a very low
volume setting. Available in sizes small, medium and large.
Closed dome eartip: Designed to reduce feedback (squeal) for those
using their amplifier on a medium volume setting.
Available in sizes small, medium and large.
Double dome eartips: Designed for those that struggle with feedback
(squeal) due to using the amplifier on a higher volume level.
Available in sizes small, medium and large.
ZipTip eartips: The ZipTip eartips can be helpful if you experience a
stuffed up feeling or it sounds like you are talking in a barrel. Available in
sizes small and medium and both are available with a small or large vent.

How to insert the HHE-6205:
1. Grasp the slim-tubing behind the eartip and
gently push the eartip into your ear canal.
2. Place your HHE-6205 over the
top of your ear.
3. The slim-tubing will probably bulge slightly near
the ear canal. Point at the bend in the tubing and
push gently. The eartip should slip a little further
into the ear canal for proper placement. The
tubing should fit snugly against your ear.
Note: If pushing on the slim-tubing causes discomfort, STOP.
Call for assistance. 1-800-221-2099
4. Place the sure-lock into the bowl of
your ear. The sure-lock is the thin
filament attached to the tubing. Use
your finger to secure the sure-lock into
the most comfortable position.

Inserting & removing your HHE-6205
To Remove HHE-6205:
1. Grasp hold of the slim-tubing against your ear and gently pull.
The eartip will slip out of your ear.
2. Remove the HHE-6205 from behind your ear.
NOTE: Tubing should not bulge away from the ear or
pull the HHE-6205 down or the eartip out of the ear.
If this occurs, try a different length tubing. See picture
to the right.
ATTENTION: Confirm the eartip is attached to the slim-tubing each time you
remove it from your ear. If the eartip remains in your ear, seek medical assistance.

We’ve done what we can to protect your HHE-6205 from moisture and
earwax but a little regular cleaning by you will go a long way towards
trouble-free use. Without regular cleaning, wax and moisture can build up
and prevent your HHE-6205 from working properly. We suggest cleaning
your HHE-6205 in the morning before you use it and storing it overnight
in a DryAid Dehumidifier (call to order). It does not take much dirt or wax
to clog the super-thin tubing and the tiny openings. Many customers find
cleaning the tubing weekly is sufficient.
Cleaning your HHE-6205:
1. Wipe off the outside of the HHE-6205 hearing amplifier and eartip
with a soft cloth or cleaning wipes (call to order).
2. Use the included cleaning brush and tube cleaning tool to gently
remove wax and dirt from the amplifiers sound openings.
How to clean your HHE-6205 slim-tubing:
1. REMOVE THE SLIMTUBING from the HHE-6205 (see pg. 5).
There is no need to remove the eartip from the tubing.
2. Insert the cleaning tool into the triangular base at the end of the
slim-tubing.
3. Thread the cleaning tool all the way through the slim-tubing and out
of the end of the eartip.
4. Wipe off any debris on the end of the cleaning tool before pulling it
back through the eartip and slim-tubing.

If your HHE-6205 is: WHISTLING (FEEDBACK)
1. Turn the volume down, it may be set
too high (pg. 8).
2. Use program setting #3 (pg. 8).
3. Check that your eartip is inserted
correctly (pg. 7).
4. Try a different size eartip
(pg. 6).
5. Verify the tubing is attached correctly.
Slim-tubing should be in good
condition. If the tubing has hardened
or is damaged, it should be replaced
(pg. 5).
6. Your HHE-6205 may briefly whistle
when a hand, hat or other object is
near it or when you are inserting and
removing the amplifier.
1. Check that the battery is inserted
correctly (pg. 4).
2. Try a fresh battery.
3. Clean your HHE-6205, microphone
ports, and eartip (pg. 9).
4. If your HHE-6205 goes dead
periodically, but comes on after
several hours of rest, the problem
may be a build-up of humidity. Try
storing it in a DryAid dehumidifier
when not in use (pg. 14).
If your HHE-6205 Hearing Amplifier requires service, send it to:

shipment). We recommend
insured mail or UPS for your
protection.

IMPORTANT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
BEGINNING THE DAY: After showering,
apply all lotions, creams, hairspray, perfume
and cologne BEFORE putting on your 6205s. Water and such sprays can damage
hearing amplifiers. And please remember, your hearing amplifiers are sensitive and don’t
like extreme heat or cold. Never place your HHE-6205 in water. If it becomes wet,
immediately remove the battery and let your HHE-6205 stand in a dry place or DryAid
dehumidifier for several hours. NEVER use heat (blowdryer, oven, microwave, etc.) to dry
your HHE-6205.
AT THE END OF THE DAY: Open the battery door when not wearing your device.
Any moisture inside your HHE-6205 can then evaporate, extending the life of your
amplifier. With the battery door open, you can be assured your HHE-6205 is off and
not squealing. A squealing hearing amplifier can attract pets which have been known
to chew on hearing devices and damage them beyond repair. Even better, remove
the battery and store your HHE-6205 overnight in a DryAid dehumidifier.
Your HHE-6205 is a precision electronic device and as such, it requires the care in
use and handling that you would afford any fine piece of equipment. The following
precautions are not meant to discourage normal use of your HHE-6205, but are
suggested to insure quality performance and long life from your HHE-6205 Hearing
Amplifier.
Do not drop or throw your HHE-6205, as this may damage internal components.
Do not expose your HHE-6205 or batteries to excessive heat, such as from stove tops,
hair dryers, heat lamps or your automobile rear shelf or glove compartment. Do not
immerse your HHE-6205 in water or other liquids, or wear it while bathing, showering
or swimming. If it becomes wet, immediately remove the battery and let your
HHE-6205 stand in a dry place or DryAid dehumidifier overnight. If your HHE-6205
is to be stored for any length of time, be sure to remove the battery and store both
in a cool, dry place.
Never wear your HHE-6205 during short-wave diathemy, X-ray, MR scans, CT scans or
similar radiation treatments.
Keep new and used batteries out of reach of children and those with diminished mental capacity.
Batteries, if consumed, can be harmful. Consult your physician immediately and call the National
Battery Hotline collect [phone].

1. Start Slowly – Begin by using your new hearing amplifier a few hours a
day while you are alone. If you're not used to wearing a hearing amplifier,
you will probably notice many sounds you have not heard in a while. And
while you may enjoy the sounds of birds again, other sounds like crackling
paper and the refrigerator running may take some time to get used to. With
practice you should be able to focus on the sounds you want to hear and
ignore the rest.
2. Read Out Loud – Your own voice will sound strange at first. Try reading out
loud for 15 minutes a day to get used to the sound of your voice.
3. Practice Listening to One Voice – Start in a quiet environment listening to
the radio or your favorite TV show. Then practice listening with one friend or
family member at a time.
4. Listen and Talk in Small Groups – Next try talking with a small group of
people, first in a quiet setting and then in a noisier environment. Remember,
most people have difficulty understanding in loud places with background
noise. So, be patient and keep practicing. Your understanding should
improve with time.
