  If the MED-EL Hearing Aid's indicator light is flashing, it could be due to several reasons: * An electronic problem or temporary processor disturbance: Try switching the processor off and then back on. * The selected position is not programmed, or there has been a programming failure: Try selecting another position. * Batteries are empty: Switch the processor off, change the batteries, and then switch it back on. * You've reached the maximum or minimum value of the volume or audio sensitivity range: Stop pushing the buttons on the FineTuner.
