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.
