On Off SmartStart Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them in your ears.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing instruments should fit snugly but comfortably. If hearing instruments cause irritation of the ears, contact your hearing care professional. Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument yourself. Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during insertion. Removal (ITC and ITE) 1. Hold the edges of the hearing instrument with your thumb and forefinger. 2.
Telephone use Finding the optimal position for holding a telephone may require practice for some individuals, and one or more of the following suggestions may be helpful. 1. Hold the telephone as you would normally. 2. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the microphones are). 3. If whistling occurs, holding the telephone in the same position may help the hearing instrument to adapt. 4. Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly away from the ear. 5.
PhoneNow Precautions 1. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal position relative to the telephone receiver. To avoid the issue, please move the magnet to another place on the telephone receiver. 2. Only use magnets supplied by GN ReSound Tele-loop systems Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are equipped with tele-loop systems.
