Hearing System CareOperation
You are now ready to use your iOS device to adjust your
hearing aids. You can adjust either with the native iOS
controls or with the TruLink app.
To access the native iOS hearing aid controls, triple-click the
Home button
on your iOS device. From this screen you can
adjust the volume, select memory or use your iOS device as
a remote microphone.
Select
Start Live Listen
to stream the iOS device microphone
input directly into your hearing aids. Point the iOS device
microphone toward the audio source. To minimize
background noise and provide the best signal, place the iOS
device as close to the source as possible.
Right Volume/Left Volume
allows you to increase and decrease
volume on each hearing aid individually.
R+L Volume
allows you to adjust both hearing aids
simultaneously.
Normal
indicates the name of a memory setting in the
hearing
aid. You can select from any memories shown in
the list to
change the hearing aids to that memory setting.
Telephone Use
Your hearing instruments are designed to work with the iPhone.
When the hearing instruments are paired and powered on,
incoming phone calls will route automatically to your hearing
instruments. When your hearing instruments are not powered
on, incoming calls route only to the iPhone.
You may be prompted to select between the iPhone and the
hearing instruments prior to placing an outgoing call, if the
hearing instruments are powered on.
Instrument Care
Do your best to keep your hearing instrument clean at all
times. Heat, moisture and foreign substances can result in
poor performance.
• Use a cleaning brush or soft cloth to clean debris
from around the switches, microphone and battery
compartment; inspect the receiver, earbud or eartip, and
wax guard regularly.
• Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids or oil to clean
your instrument.
Your hearing care professional can provide further information
on additional maintenance procedures for your hearing
system if needed.

Receiver Wax Guards
(RIC ONLY)
The Hear Clear earwax
protection system uses
disposable wax guards. They
prevent earwax accumulation
in the hearing aid receiver.

Starkey offers various methods of wax protection for your hearing instruments.
The following is a brief description of some of our wax protection options:
WAX PROTECTION GUIDE
HearClear
™*
The Hear Clear exclusive earwax
protection system uses disposable
wax guards. The innovative wax
guards prevent earwax accumulation
in the hearing aid receiver. The Hear
Clear is incompatible with Extended
Receiver Tube, Biconic Wax Guard
and Canal Bell.
Biconic Wax Guard (Wax Spring)
The Biconic Wax Guard is a small coil basket inserted into the
receiver tubing of the hearing aid to prevent wax from reaching
the receiver. The wax spring is typically removed and replaced by a
hearing professional.
Extended Receiver Tubing
The Extended Receiver Tubing increases the distance wax must travel
before reaching the receiver. It potentially allows the user to visualize
the presence of wax before it enters the receiver of the hearing aid.
The Extended Receiver Tubing is incompatible with Waxceptor.
Canal Bell
The Canal Bell recesses the receiver of the hearing aid, making
it more difficult for wax to reach the receiver. The Canal Bell is
incompatible with the Waxceptor.
