● It may be helpful to insert the right hearing
in󰘵rument with the right hand and the left
hearing in󰘵rument with the left hand.
● If you have problems inserting the hearing
in󰘵rument, use the other hand to gently pull
your earlobe downwards. This opens the
ear canal and eases insertion of the hearing

programs which allow you to change the sound, if
needed. An optional signal tone can indicate the program
change.
XTo change the hearing program manually, use a
remote control option.
Refer to section "Hearing programs" for a li󰘵 of your
hearing programs.

Maintenance and care
To prevent damage it is important that you take care of
