Practical Solutions to Everyday Problems
Congratulations on choosing Yuu™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.
Yuu is a premium hearing instrument that delivers
superior sound quality, performance, and extraordinary
results. Yuu’s automatic program reads your listening
environment and automatically determines hearing
instrument settings that are 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. Yuu
offers you the ability to adjust your personal comfort
and clarity settings, giving you greater control of your
listening experience. Yuu will also learn these
adjustments, leading to a more personalized hearing
instrument.

Getting the Most Out of Your Yuu™
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 Yuu™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.

Turning Your Yuu™Hearing Instruments
On and Off
To turn your hearing instruments on, close the battery
door. Note: If the start up delay is activated, your
hearing instruments will not turn on for 10-15 seconds
after closing the battery door.
To turn your hearing instruments off, open the battery
door or remove the battery.

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
instrument.
To insert ITEs and CICs:
1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and
index finger with the battery door 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.
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. To remove 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, program button or
the battery door to remove your hearing instruments.

Feedback-Free Listening
Your Yuu hearing devices have an optional start up delay
that can be activated by your hearing healthcare
professional. If the start up delay is activated, your
hearing devices will not turn on for 10-15 seconds after
you close the battery door. The hearing devices return to
the start up delay position each time you turn your
hearing devices on. This allows you to insert your
hearing devices without experiencing whistling.
If you wear hearing devices now, you may have
experienced whistling from your hearing devices when
you talk, chew, use the telephone or hug someone. Yuu’s
feedback technology dramatically reduces this
uncomfortable whistling before you or anyone else can
perceive it.

Replacing the Battery
1. Gently swing out the battery compartment with your
fingernail.
2. Grasp the battery with your thumb and index finger
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 door.
Low Battery Warning
When you hear two long beeps, your hearing instruments
are warning you that their batteries are low. You will hear
the warning approximately every 30 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. If you prefer, your
hearing healthcare professional can change the pitch
and loudness of the low battery beep or turn it off
entirely.
Caring for Batteries
• Always discard batteries carefully.
• To prolong 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
allow internal 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.

Operating Instructions ITE and CIC
Changing Programs on Your Yuu™Hearing Devices
Your Yuu hearing instruments have an automatic
program and up to three additional manual programs.
Yuu’s automatic program will satisfy most of your
listening needs by adjusting to different listening
environments without requiring manual adjustments. Up
to three additional manual programs can be individually
tailored by your hearing healthcare professional to meet
your particular listening needs.
Your hearing instruments may come equipped with a
push button which has been set for switching between
programs or adjusting your volume. This push button
could also be disabled by your hearing healthcare
professional. If you have an active push button program
control, each time you push the button, you will move to
a new program.
Your Yuu hearing instruments may also come with an
optional remote control which allows you to switch
between different listening programs. Ask your hearing
healthcare professional for more information on the
remote control.

Program Beeps
Your hearing instruments beep to indicate which program
you are in (i.e. one beep for program 1, two beeps for
program 2, etc.) If you prefer, your hearing healthcare
professional can adjust the pitch and loudness of the
program beep or turn it off entirely.
Adjusting the Volume
The volume on your hearing instruments adjusts
automatically in response to the loud or quiet sounds
around you. Your hearing instruments are set to your ideal
volume by default. Your ideal volume is indicated by 1 beep.
If you have a push button volume control or a volume
control rotary dial, you can further adjust the volume.
Your Yuu hearing instruments will learn your volume
control adjustments while the hearing instruments are set
to the automatic program, if this feature has been enabled
by your hearing healthcare professional. Over time, the
hearing instruments will adjust the default volume
settings in the automatic program to the levels that you
typically use.
Program 1 (e.g. Automatic Program) 1 beep
Program 2 (e.g. Group/Party Noise) 2 beeps
Program 3 (e.g. Easy-t/Telephone) 3 beeps
Program 4 (e.g. Music) 4 beeps
Easy-t/Telephone short melody

Your Yuu hearing instruments may also come with an
optional remote control which allows you to adjust your
volume levels. Ask your hearing healthcare professional
for more information on the remote control.
Push Button Volume Control
If your push button has been configured as a volume
control, you can adjust the volume level by pushing the
button. Note that your volume control may be disabled by
your hearing healthcare professional and, therefore,
could be inactive.
As you change the volume level, your hearing instrument
will beep. Please refer to the chart below to learn more
about the different volume beeps.
Your hearing healthcare professional can help you identify
your different push button volume control settings. If you
prefer, your hearing healthcare professional can adjust the
pitch and loudness of the push button volume control
beeps or turn them off entirely.

volume control, your hearing instruments will beep.
Please refer to the chart below to learn more about the
different volume beeps.
Your hearing healthcare professional can help you
identify your different volume control settings. If you
prefer, your hearing healthcare professional can adjust

control, rotate the volume control slowly forward
towards your nose to increase the volume or slowly
backward away from your nose to decrease the volume.
Note that your volume control may be disabled by your
hearing healthcare professional and, therefore, could be
inactive.

volume, or slowly downward towards the floor to
decrease the volume. Note that your volume control may
be disabled by your hearing healthcare professional and,
therefore, could be inactive.
Adjusting the Comfort-Clarity
With a Yuu hearing instrument, you can also manage the
levels of speech and background noise in your listening
environment via the Comfort-Clarity Balance. This control
provides an additional sound refinement option beyond
a traditional volume control. If your hearing healthcare
professional has enabled the Comfort-Clarity Balance,
you can adjust your comfort-clarity levels using the
rotary dial on your hearing instruments.
Your Yuu hearing instruments will learn your comfort-
clarity settings while the hearing instruments are set to
the automatic program, if this feature has been enabled
by your hearing healthcare professional. Over time, the
hearing instruments will adjust the pre-programmed
comfort-clarity settings to your preferred levels.
Your Yuu hearing instruments may also come with an
optional remote control which allows you to adjust your
comfort-clarity levels. Ask your hearing healthcare
professional for more information on the remote control.
Comfort-Clarity Balance
As you change the comfort-clarity level, your hearing
instruments will beep. Please refer to the chart below to

16
learn more about the different comfort-clarity beeps.
Note: As the Comfort-Clarity Balance moves toward the
midpoint position, the effect on sound is minimized.
Your hearing healthcare professional can help you
identify your different Comfort-Clarity Balance settings. If
you prefer, your hearing healthcare professional can
adjust the pitch and loudness of the Comfort-Clarity
Balance beeps or turn them off entirely.
Rotary Comfort-Clarity Balance
If the rotary dial on your hearing instruments has
been configured as a Comfort-Clarity Balance,
rotate the dial slowly forward towards your nose to
increase clarity of sounds, such as speech. For greater
comfort in noisy listening situations, slowly rotate the
dial backwards away from your nose.
Scroll Comfort-Clarity Balance
If the scroll on your hearing instruments has been
configured as a Comfort-Clarity Balance, turn the
scroll slowly upward towards the ceiling to increase
clarity of sounds, such as speech. For greater comfort in
noisy listening situations, turn the scroll slowly
downward towards the floor.
