Practical Solutions to Everyday Problems
Congratulations on choosing Next™ITE (In-the-Ear)
hearing instruments. For over 40 years, Unitron Hearing
has been committed to making life better for people with
hearing loss. This means a commitment to developing
high-quality hearing solutions that incorporate special
features to solve the everyday problems and concerns
you have with hearing loss and hearing instruments.
Next is an innovative hearing instrument that delivers
exceptional sound quality, performance, and results.
Your Next hearing instrument may include an automatic
program that reads your listening environment and
automatically determines a sound destination that is
most effective for optimal listening as your listening
needs change throughout the day. Up to 3 optional
manual programs give you added flexibility to meet your
particular listening needs. Next’s sophisticated adaptive
features offer you the latest technology so your hearing
instrument will adapt, leading to a more personalized
experience.

Getting the Most Out of Your Next™
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
everyday since frequent use will help you 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 Next™ITE Guide
Refer to the table of contents for a complete listing of
the topics covered in this guide.
Use the diagram on the next page 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. Have your hearing healthcare
professional place a check beside the diagram that best
describes your ITE style.
