Caution: The sound output should not be uncomfortable or painful. You should turn down the volume or remove the device if the sound output is uncomfortably loud or painful. If you consistently need to turn the volume down, you may need to further adjust your device. Caution: You might need medical help if a piece gets stuck in your ear. If any part of your hearing aid, like the ear tip, gets stuck in your ear, and you can’t easily remove it with your fingers, get medical help as soon as you can.

What’s Inside Intended Use Enlite® Hearing Aids have high-frequency emphasis for soft sounds, so the faint sounds of speech can be heard more easily - especially if the speaker is farther away than desirable or speaks very softly. The most common example is someone asking a question from another room. Soft speech can also be heard in a house of worship, classroom, courtroom, lecture hall, theatre, or TV dialog.

Low Battery Warning Replacing the Ear Tips A feature called LOBAT™ alerts you when the battery is at the end of its life. • A slow, quiet ticking sound gradually becomes faster and louder, like the sound of a motorboat. • After the warning sound first becomes audible, it may be a few hours before the battery goes dead. • Hearing aid performance will not change while LOBAT is sounding. You may change the tip for a more comfortable fit.
Wearing Your Hearing Aids INSERTION • Make sure the ear tip is clean. REMOVAL • Remove hearing aids with a slow twisting motion. • Pull the ear up and out while inserting. • Twist and push gently until the ear tip seals in the ear canal. • When using 3-flange ear tips, moistening may ease insertion. • When using foam ear tips, roll down or compress the foam ear tip before inserting. Hold the ear tip in place for about 5 seconds while foam expands to create a tight seal in the ear canal.
Importance of a Good Seal Note: Hearing aids come with a large selection of ear tips, including two sizes of 3-flange ear tips with long stems. Depending on your ear geometry, the longer stems may allow the best seal. A good ear tip seal ensures the best performance and prevents the “hollow voice” sound, called the occlusion effect. • The occlusion effect is caused by sound transmission into the ear from vibration of the ear canal wall when the ear is occluded by an ear tip.
General Product Care Listening Profile Adjustments There are two listening profiles, Low (L) and High (H). Simple cleaning with the tool provided will keep the ear tip clean and the hearing aids working properly. L: LOW (switch toward the body of the device) • 15dB mild amplification and treble boost for soft sounds. • No amplification for loud sounds. • Use the cleaning tool to pick out or brush off debris. • 3-flange ear tips can be removed and cleaned in mild detergent.
Changing Filters Each hearing aid has a special filter that enhances sound quality and prevents earwax from entering the device. A filter should be changed if the volume decreases or sound quality declines. Warning: Improper replacement could result in the filter coming out and being lodged in the ear canal. il Filter Replacement Note: Use the tool to remove the filter. Note: Do NOT use the tool to replace the filter. 1. Remove ear tip 2. Insert tool into the filter 3. Remove filter 1.
