Putting your hearing aids on your ears
Your behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids may be
color-coded with a small dot on the battery door:
red = right ear; blue = left ear.
BTEs with earmolds
1. Hold the earmold between
your thumb and index finger.
The opening should be
pointing in towards your ear
canal with the BTE resting
upwards over the top of your
ear.
2. Carefully insert the earmold
in your ear. You may need
to twist it slightly to the
back. The earmold should
fit into your ear snugly and
comfortably. Pulling down
and back on your earlobe may help you insert
the earmold into your ear canal more easily.

BTEs with slim tubes
1. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear. The
slim tube should lie flush
against your head and not
stick out.
2. Hold the slim tube where it
attaches to the dome and
gently push the dome into
your ear canal.
3. Place the retention piece
in your ear so it rests at the
bottom of the opening of
your ear canal.

door that acts as an on/off switch and that
allows access to the battery compartment.

fully.
Note: It may take 5 seconds
before the hearing aid turns
on. Your hearing healthcare
provider can additionally
increase the start up delay if
required.
2. OFF: Partially open the
battery door.
