Helpful Hints
• NEVER FORCE THE BATTERY DOOR SHUT. This could result
in serious damage; if the door will not close securely, check
that the battery is inserted correctly.
• Do not open the battery door too far or damage is likely to
occur.
• Dispose of used batteries immediately in the proper waste or
recycling container.
• Batteries vary in size and performance. Your Miracle-Ear®
Hearing Care Professional is your best source for lifespan
estimates and verification that you are using the proper size
and type.

Batteries are dangerous if swallowed. To help prevent the
accidental ingestion of batteries:
Keep out of reach of children and pets
Check your medications before taking them – batteries have

contact your Miracle-Ear®Hearing Care Professional.

materials are available; contact your Miracle-Ear Hearing Care
Professional.

Power On & Off
To turn ON:
Insert a battery and completely close the battery
door. Your hearing aid has a power-on delay that
allows you time to insert your hearing aid into
your ear. You may hear a tone indicating that your
hearing aid is powering on.
To turn OFF:
Open the battery door until the battery is no longer touching the
battery contacts.
User Controls
Your hearing aid’s user control may have been customized by
your Miracle-Ear®Hearing Care Professional. Ask your Miracle-Ear
Hearing Care Professional how the user control on your hearing
aid is set.
Available User Control Functionality
The user control on your hearing aid can respond
differently depending on how long you activate (press)
the button. Your hearing aid is capable of having one
function assigned to a short press (press and release)
and one function assigned to a long press (press and
hold). The options selected on the next page indicate how your
user control is configured.
Tap Gesture
Your hearing aid may support an additional user control. This
control can be configured by your Miracle-Ear®Hearing Care
Professional. Once configured, while the hearing aid is in your ear
simply double tap directly on the device with one or two fingers.
M-E Mode™
M-E Mode™ works to identify and create a temporary, real-time
adjustment tailored for challenging environments. Upon activation,
your devices use an environmental scan to bring comfort and
clarity. Ask your Miracle-Ear®Hearing Care Professional for more
information.

Volume Control
Power On Volume Level
Your hearing aid has been set to a specific volume level by your
Miracle-Ear®Hearing Care Professional. If sounds are generally
too loud or too soft, please contact your Miracle-Ear Hearing Care
Professional for advice and adjustment. If your hearing aid has been
set up with a user adjustable volume control, temporary volume
adjustments can be made.
Your hearing aid will always power on to the same volume setting
(Volume Home) determined by your Miracle-Ear Hearing Care
Professional.
Sprinkler Volume Control
If your user control is configured as a sprinkler volume control, each
time you activate the user control, the volume of your hearing aid
changes.
Sprinkler volume control is configured by default to automatically
decrease in volume before it increases. To make sounds louder,
activate the user control. Repeat this motion until you are at the

minimum setting. The next time you activate the user control,
the volume will increase one step. Continue to activate the user
control until you reach the desired loudness.
NOTE: If 10 minutes or more have passed since the last volume
change, the volume will automatically decrease before it
increases.
Up/Down Volume Control
If your user control is configured as a dedicated up/down volume
control, each time you activate the user control, the volume of
your hearing aid always changes in a specific direction (either up
or down). For example, a short press and release may increase the
volume while a long press and hold may decrease the volume in
your hearing aid.
Some user controls can be set for the Right hearing aid to
increase volume and the Left hearing aid to decrease volume.
Ask your Miracle-Ear®Hearing Care Professional if this setting
would benefit you.
Volume Control Indicators
Your Miracle-Ear®Hearing Care Professional may enable audible
indicators, which highlight the current volume position.

Memory Change
Your Miracle-Ear®Hearing Care Professional may create multiple
memories within your hearing aid. These additional memories can
be accessed by activating the user control on your hearing aid.
If your user control is configured for memory changes, each time
you activate the user control, the memory of your hearing aid will
increment through the available memories.
Memory Indicators
Your Miracle-Ear Hearing Care Professional may enable an audible
indicator, which is presented while making a memory change.
The indicator defaults to a voice identifying which memory your
hearing aid is in.
Mute
Long Press Mute
If your hearing aid is configured with mute functionality, a long
press and hold of the user control will mute your hearing aid. If
enabled by your Miracle-Ear Hearing Care Professional, you may
hear an indicator prior to the hearing aid muting. To unmute your
hearing aid, long press and hold the user control until audio is
restored.
Custom Tinnitus™Level Control
Your user control can also adjust the level of your Custom
Tinnitus™stimulus. Please refer to the section labeled Custom
Tinnitus™Technology for further information.

effectively communicate on the telephone. Ask your Miracle-Ear®
