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.

Your hearing aids
This user manual describes optional features that
your hearing aids may have.
Ask your Hearing Care Specialist to indicate the
features that apply to your hearing aids.
Hearing aid type
Your hearing aids are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)
model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and
connected to the hearing aid via a receiver cable. 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 our 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 you familiarize yourself with your
new hearing aids. With the hearing aids in your hand,
try using the controls and note their location on the
hearing aid. 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 whether a remote control
or a smartphone app to control your hearing aids
is available.
