USER GUIDE
Thank you for choosing Ovation Hearing and congratulations
on taking control of your hearing health.
While no hearing device can restore normal hearing health or
prevent or improve a hearing impairment, the Ovation Excel
can improve the quality of your life by making sounds easier to
hear. Here are a few tips to help you get the most benefits from
your Ovation Excel:
If you have never worn a hearing aid before, there may be an
adjustment period of up to a few weeks before you can begin to
enjoy all the benefits that Ovation offers. Be patient as you ad-
just to wearing your Ovation and begin hearing sounds that you
previously had been missing. We recommend that you start by
only wearing your Excel unit for an hour or two a day and grad-
ually extend the period of time as you get more comfortable.

Your Ovation Excel comes equipped with an easy to use volume
control and is pre-programmed with 4 different hearing set-
tings. We recommend that you start your adjustment period in
relatively quiet environments, but as you get more comfortable,
we encourage you to also experiment with the different hearing
settings to find the best option for you in different listening
environments.
In all environments – but especially in noisy ones – you may
find it helpful to face the individual speaking to you or to sit or
stand near the source of the sound.
Thank you again for choosing Ovation. Please read the follow-
ing instructions to better understand how to use your Ovation
Excel and how to maximize your hearing experience.

BATTERY
Your Ovation Excel uses a size 10 battery.
Please use high-quality batteries because they are more con-
sistent in size. Lesser-quality batteries can vary in size – even
by only 1 or 2 millimeters – making them unusable in your
Ovation Excel.
Pulling off the plastic sticker activates the battery. Do not
pull the tab off until you need to use the battery. The bat-
teries may take up 2 minutes to fully activate after the tab is
removed.
With proper use and care, each battery should last about 1 week.
Note: A warning of a periodic, single beep indicates that the
battery needs to be replaced.
