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 aids 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 aids, you should
wear them all day every day since infrequent use will not
permit you to adapt to your hearing aids 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.

Turning Your Indigo™Hearing Aids On and Off
Your hearing aids have a three-position battery door that
acts as an off/on switch and that allows access to the
battery compartment.
To turn the hearing aid on, close the battery door fully.
Note: If the start up delay is activated, your hearing aids
will not turn on for 10-15 seconds after closing the
battery door.
Toturn the hearing aid off,partially open the battery
door.This position allows excess moisture to vent away
from the battery compartment.
To replace the hearing aid battery, fully open the battery
door for access to the battery compartment.
Note: When turning your hearing aid on and
off,grasp the top and bottom of the aid with
your index finger and thumb. Use your thumb
to open and close the battery door. If you are
wearing Moda hearing aids, use your index
finger to open and close the battery door.
