Your hearing aids
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 BTE (Behind-The-Ear) models. A tube
delivers the sound from the hearing aid into the ear. The hearing
aids are not intended for infants, small children or cognitively
impaired persons.
Getting to know your hearing aid
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.
