Charging Your Hearing Aid
1. Place Your Hearing Aids on the Charger
Lightly hold your hearing aids by the tube, and
place them in the charging slot. Both domes
should be facing the same side of the charger as
the power cable, as shown in the picture. When
your hearing aids are correctly placed, both lights
will begin blinking green.
2. Wait 3-4 Hours
When the green lights are blinking, your hearing
aids are charging. When the lights stop blinking
and turn solid green, your hearing aids are
completely charged.
3. Remove, And Wear Your Hearing Aids
You can remove your hearing aids before they’re
completely charged, but they won’t last as long as
when they’re fully charged. It’s best to leave your
hearing aids in the charger anytime you’re not
using them, they won’t overcharge.
