Getting the Most Out of Your Breeze™
Hearing Instruments
Adjusting to your new hearing instruments will take
some time. In the beginning it is important that you do
not use the hearing instruments for longer than is
comfortable. Depending on your previous experience
with hearing instruments, a few hours a day may be
enough and then you can increase wearing time
gradually. Once you have become accustomed to your
hearing instruments, you should wear them all day
every day since infrequent use will not permit you to
adapt to your hearing instruments and enjoy their full
benefits. The quicker you get used to the everyday
sounds around you, the less you will notice that you are
wearing hearing instruments.

Using the Breeze™Digital ITE Guide
Refer to the table of contents for a complete listing of
the topics covered in this guide.
Use the diagram to identify some of the components on
your hearing instruments. Because each instrument is
custom-designed and molded to fit an individual ear,
the physical appearance and exact positioning on your
hearing instruments may vary slightly from those
shown.

Inserting and Removing ITE and CIC
Hearing Instruments
ITE and CIC hearing instruments are coded red for the
right ear and blue for the left ear. The color is indicated
either on the shell or on a label on the hearing device.

index finger with the battery compartment away from
your ear.
2. If your hearing instrument is a CIC, insert by holding
the hearing instrument with the removal handle at the
bottom and the white dot at the top.
3. Gently insert the canal portion of the hearing
instrument into your ear using your index finger to
push back and tuck the hearing instrument completely
into place.
To remove ITEs and CICs:
1. If your hearing instrument is a CIC, gently pull on the
removal handle. Toremove ITE hearing instruments,
grasp the instrument with your thumb and index finger.
2. Move your jaw up and down or apply pressure to the
back of your ear to help loosen the instrument.
Note: Never use the volume control or the battery door
to remove your hearing instruments.

Turning Your Hearing Instruments On and Off
Your Breeze hearing devices may have a volume control
that also serves as an on/off switch. To turn your
hearing devices on, rotate the volume control towards
your nose. To turn your hearing devices off, rotate the
volume control away from your nose. For hearing
devices without a volume control, close the battery door
to turn your hearing devices on. Open the battery door
or remove the battery to turn your hearing devices off.
Replacing the Battery
1. Gently swing out the battery compartment door with
your fingernail.
2. Grasp the battery with your thumb and forefinger and
remove.
3. Insert the new battery into the
battery compartment with the
plus (+) sign on the battery facing
the same way as the plus (+) sign
on the edge of the battery door.
This will ensure that the battery
door closes properly.
Note: If the battery is inserted
incorrectly, the door will not close.
4. Close the battery compartment
door.

Low Battery Warning
When you hear three short beeps, your digital hearing
devices are warning you that their batteries are low. You
will hear the warning approximately every 5 minutes
until you change the batteries or the batteries die. After
the first warning, you may experience some reduction in
sound quality. This is normal and can be remedied by
inserting fresh batteries in the hearing devices.
Caring for Batteries
•Always discard batteries carefully.
•Toprolong battery life, remember to turn your hearing
instruments off when not in use.
•Remove the batteries and keep the battery door open
while hearing instruments are not in use. This will
allowinternal moisture to evaporate.
Warnings
•Never leave hearing instruments or batteries where
small children and pets can reach them.
•Never put hearing instruments or batteries in your
mouth. If a hearing instrument or battery is
swallowed, call a physician immediately.
