Your hearing in󰄋ruments
This user guide describes optional features that
your hearing in󰘵ruments may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing in󰘵ruments.
In󰄋rument type
Your hearing in󰘵ruments are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)
model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and
connected to the in󰘵rument via a receiver cable. The
in󰘵ruments 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 in󰘵rument. This
enables easy charging with our inductive charger.
Getting to know your hearing in󰄋ruments
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing in󰘵ruments. With the in󰘵ruments in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
in󰘵rument. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing in󰘵ruments.

If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing in󰘵ruments while wearing them, you can
ask your Hearing Care Professional whether a
remote control or a smartphone app to control your
in󰘵ruments is available.

Switching to 󰄋andby mode
Via remote control or smartphone app, you can switch
your hearing in󰘵ruments to 󰘵andby mode. This mutes
the hearing in󰘵ruments. When you leave 󰘵andby mode,
the previously used volume and hearing program are
set.
Note:
● In 󰘵andby mode, the hearing in󰘵ruments are not
turned o󰘯 completely. They draw some power.
Therefore we recommend to use 󰘵andby mode only
for a short period of time.
● If you want to leave 󰘵andby mode, but the remote
control or app is not at hand: Turn your hearing
in󰘵ruments o󰘯 and on again (via push button or
by shortly placing them in the charger until one or
more orange LEDs light up). In this case, the default
volume and hearing program are set.
