Inserting the hearing aid
Before inserting the hearing aid, you must place
a battery in the battery drawer and close the bat-
tery drawer.
The hearing aid will most probably begin to whis-
tle and will continue to do so until it is placed cor-
rectly in the ear canal. The whistling indicates
that the hearing aid and battery are functioning.
If the hearing aid does not whistle, please check
that the battery is correctly inserted, the battery
drawer is correctly closed and the battery is
fresh.
Hold your hearing aid by
the extraction cord with
your thumb and forefin-
ger. Red marking indi-
cates a right-ear hearing
aid and blue marking a
left-ear hearing aid.
Slowly guide the hearing
aid into your ear canal
until you feel resistance.
Let go of the extraction
cord and use the tip of
your forefinger to gently
push the hearing aid into
your ear until it rests com-
fortably in your canal.
To ease the final adjust-
ments it can be a help to
pull the outer ear up-
wards and backwards
with the opposite hand as
illustrated.
If the hearing aid still whistles after insertion, it
is most probably not correctly placed in the canal.
Pull out the hearing aid and try again.
