Practical Solutions to Everyday Problems
Congratulations on choosing Indigo™ITE (In-the-Ear)
hearing instruments.

solutions that incorporate special features to solve the

Indigo is a premium hearing instrument that delivers
superior sound quality, performance, and extraordinary

environment and automatically determines a sound
destination that is most effective for optimal listening as
your listening needs change throughout the day. Three
additional manual programs give you added flexibility
to meet your particular listening needs. Indigo’s
sophisticated adaptive features offer you the latest in
digital technology so your hearing instruments do the
adapting without manual adjustments or fiddling
required by you.

Getting the Most Out of Your Indigo™
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 devices, you should wear them all day everyday
since frequent use will help you adapt to your hearing
devices 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 Indigo™ITE Guide
Refer to the table of contents for a complete listing of
the topics covered in this guide.
Use the diagram below to identify some of the
components on your hearing devices. Because each
device is custom-designed and molded to fit an
individual ear, the physical appearance and exact
positioning on your hearing devices may vary slightly
from those shown. Have your hearing healthcare
professional place a check beside the diagram that best
describes your ITE style.

Turning Your Indigo™Hearing Instruments
On and Off
Your Indigo hearing instruments may
have a volume control that also serves
as an on/off switch. To turn your hearing
instruments on, rotate the volume control
towards your nose. Note: If the start up delay is
activated, your hearing instruments will not turn on for
10-15 seconds after rotating the volume control towards
your nose.
To turn your hearing instruments off, rotate the volume
control away from your nose.
For hearing instruments without a volume control, close
the battery door to turn your hearing instruments on.
Open the battery door or remove the battery to turn your
hearing instruments off.

Inserting and Removing ITE and CIC
Hearing Instruments
ITE and CIC hearing instruments are color-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.
To insert ITEs and CICs:
1. Hold the hearing device between your thumb and
index finger with the battery door away from your ear.
2. If your hearing device is a CIC, insert by holding the
hearing device with the removal handle at the
bottom.
3. Gently insert the canal portion of the hearing device
into your ear using your index finger to push back and
tuck the hearing device completely into place.
To remove ITEs and CICs:
1. If your hearing device is a CIC, gently pull on the
removal handle. To remove ITE hearing devices, grasp
the device 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 device.
Note: Never use the volume control or the battery door
to remove your hearing devices.
