WARNING
Never pull on the battery compartment door to remove the
hearing instrument, as this could cause damage to your hearing
instrument.
Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index
finger. With the face of the hearing instrument toward the
outside, paying special attention to the removal strand to indicate
the bottom, place the hearing instrument in your ear canal.
Gently work it into its proper position by slightly twisting until it is
firmly seated.
For CICs, the instrument should sit deep in your ear canal. Do not
force it deeper than it will comfortably fit.

you experience difficulty removing the instrument and it remains
lodged in your ear, contact your Hearing Care Professional
immediately.
CAUTION! Do not insert any item into your ear to remove the
hearing instrument. Do not pull on the battery
compartment door to remove the instrument, as this
could cause damage to the instrument.
