and greater quality of life your hearing in󰘵ruments o󰘯er.
To receive the mo󰘵 bene󰘰t from your hearing

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 BTE (Behind-The-Ear)
models. A tube delivers the sound from the hearing
in󰘵rument into the ear. The in󰘵ruments are not intended
for children under the age of 3 years or persons with a
developmental age of under 3 years.
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 about a remote
control option.
