Tips
• The rst days after you start using a hearing aid, you will feel it in your ear, and
there is nothing unusual in that. In a while, you will get used to it and won’t feel
any inconvenience. You will need some time to get used to wearing a hearing
aid – little by little increase the wearing time every day.
• When you only start using a hearing aid, there may be some irritation in your
ear because of a foreign object. In this case, ask for specialist advice.
• In case of any allergic reactions, ask for specialist advice.
• In case of intensive sweating and earwax formation, consult a specialist.
• For easier insertion of a hearing aid, you may gently pull your ear up to make
the ear canal wider. A hearing aid is inserted correctly if it ts tightly into the
ear and you do not feel it inside.
• Check if your hearing aid is positioned properly in the ear canal using a mirror.
The hearing aid must not be seen.
Before placing the BTE onto your ear, be sure the battery is inserted
and the battery compartment door is closed securely. Also make sure
that ON/OFF switch is set to OFF.
To insert, hold the earmold on the outer side near the tubing with your thumb
and forenger (Pic.13).
The upper part of the earmold must be directed upwards. The tube must be
directed to the ear canal.
If expenencing difcultes, pull down the earlobe or pull the auride back or up
and gently insert the earmold into the ear. (Pic. 14)
The directed upwards elastic part must t into place. (Pic. 15)
