This user guide describes optional features that
your hearing instruments may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing instruments.
Instrument type
Your hearing instruments are customized models that
have been individually manufactured based on the
anatomy of your ears. They are worn directly in the
ear, either in the bowl of the ear or deep inside the ear
canal. They are not suitable for infants, small children or
mentally disabled persons.
Getting to know your hearing instruments
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing instruments. With the instruments in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
instrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing instruments.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing instruments while wearing them, you can
ask your Hearing Care Professional about a remote
control option.

When wearing the hearing instruments, an alert tone can
indicate when an instrument is being turned on or off.
When the power-on delay is activated, the hearing
instruments turn on after a delay of several seconds.
During this time you can insert the hearing instruments
into your ears without experiencing unpleasant feedback
whistling.
The "power-on delay" can be activated by your Hearing
Care Professional.
Inserting and removing the hearing instrument
Inserting a hearing instrument:
XCarefully push the hearing
instrument into the
ear canal.
XTwist it slightly until it sits
well.
Open and close your mouth
to avoid accumulation of
air in the ear canal.

hearing instrument with the left hand.
■ If you have problems inserting the ear piece,
use the other hand to gently pull your earlobe
downwards. This opens the ear canal and eases
insertion of the ear piece.
