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 instrument.
Instrument type
Your hearing instrument is a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)
model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and
connected to the instrument via a receiver cable. The
instruments are not intended 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.
