Welcome
Thank you for choosing Miracle-Ear hearing aids to
accompany you through everyday life. Like anything
new, it may take you a little time to become familiar with
them.
This guide, along with support from your Hearing Care
Specialist, will help you understand the advantages and
greater quality of life your hearing aids offer.
To receive the most benefit from your hearing aids, it is
recommended that you wear them every day, all day.
This will help you get adjusted to them.
CAUTION
It is important to read this user manual and the
safety manual thoroughly and completely. Follow
the safety information to avoid damage or injury.
Before using your hearing aids for the first time,
fully charge them. Follow the instructions in the
charger's user guide.

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 aids.
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
children under the age of 3 years or persons with a
developmental age of under 3 years.
A power cell (lithium-ion rechargeable battery) is
permanently built into your hearing aid. This enables
easy charging with your inductive charger.
The wireless functionality enables advanced
audiological features and synchronization between your
two hearing aids.
Your hearing aids feature Bluetooth®*low energy
technology allowing for easy data exchange with your
smartphone, and for seamless audio streaming with
your iPhone.**

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 on the aids.
This will make it easier for you to feel and press the
controls while wearing your hearing aids.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing aids while wearing them, you can ask your
Hearing Care Specialist whether a remote control
or a smartphone app to control your hearing aids
is available.
