Your hearing aids4
This user manual describes optional features that
your hearing aids may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Specialist to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing aid.
Hearing aid type
Your hearing aids are the RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)
style. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and
connected to the hearing aid via a receiver wire. The
hearing aids are not intended for children under the
age of 3 years or persons with a developmental age
of under 3 years.
Getting to know your hearing aids
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing aids. With the hearing aids in your hand try
using the controls and note their location. This will make
it easier for you to feel and press the controls while
wearing the hearing aids.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing aids while wearing them, you can ask your
Hearing Care Specialist about a remote control
option.
