Becoming Accustomed to Ampliﬁcation

While purchasing a hearing system is a major step, it is only one step in a process toward more

comfortable hearing. Successfully adapting to the ampliﬁcation your hearing system provides takes

time and consistent use.

• Asyougetmorecomfortablewiththesystem,increasethewearingtimeandwearyourhearing

system in multiple types of listening environments.

It may take as long as several months for your brain to get used to all the “new” sounds around you.

Following these suggestions will give your brain time to learn how to interpret ampliﬁcation and

increase the beneﬁts you get from using an Interton hearing system.

On/Off Function

The door to the battery compartment serves as the On/Off switch for your hearing instru-

ment. When the door is fully closed, the instrument is on. To turn the instrument off, put

your ﬁngernail under the nail grip and pull gently to open the battery door.

Tip: To reduce battery consumption, turn the instrument off when it is not in use.

Power-on delay

Power-on delay allows you to insert the instrument in your ear without the hearing instru-

ment squealing. It delays the switch-on time by 10 seconds after closing the battery

compartment.Abeepeachsecondispresentedduringthistime.

Stand-By Mode

Stand-by mode reduces battery consumption since only a small amount of power is

used. When in stand-by mode, the hearing instrument will not deliver sound to the ear.

IfyourhearinginstrumenthasaMemorySelector,youcanputtheinstrumentintostand-

healthcare professional if the memory programs in your hearing instruments need to be

reconﬁgured.

Proper Placement in the Ear

•There is a blue indicator for left ear instruments, and a red

indicator for right ear instruments.

•Hold the instrument with your thumb and foreﬁnger,

either on the sides (as shown) or above and below.

•Insert the instrument into your ear canal.

Do not force the instrument beyond a comfortable point.

•Switch on your hearing instrument.

Tip: Insertion can be easier if you gently pull your ear backward

with your other hand. Opening and closing your mouth while

inserting may also be helpful.

If you need further help, your hearing healthcare professional will be glad to show you

how to insert your hearing instrument correctly.

Note: If the instrument irritates your ear in any way, please contact your hearing healt-

hcare professional. You should never attempt to modify the shape of the custom shell

yourself.

Removal

•Locate and grasp the removal cord

•Pull the instrument gently from the ear.

Using the Telephone While Wearing your Hearing System

Close proximity to a telephone can sometimes cause hearing instruments to make a

squealing sound,alsoknownasfeedback.Toreducethepotentialforthisproblem,

yoursystemisequippedwithfeedbacksuppression,whichgreatlyreducesthechance

of feedback.

Further measures to avoid feedback include positioning the

phone close to the hearing instrument, but not directly on the

instrument. If there is feedback, it may take a few seconds for

theinstrument’ssignalprocessingtoadapt.Thistechniquemay

requirepractice.

Cellular Phone and Hearing Instrument Compatibility

Hearing instrument performance with cellular phones may vary based on the indi-

vidual hearing system or the cell phone being used. If your hearing system and cell

phone are not compatible you may experience a buzzing or clicking noise while using

the two in conjunction. If this is the case with your current hearing system and cell

phone, consult with your hearing healthcare professional to see if there are options to

improvethesoundquality.

Measures you can take to prevent this situation:

•When purchasing a hearing system, be sure to test it with your existing phone to

determine compatibility.

•When shopping for a new cell phone, be sure to test it with your hearing system

before purchasing.

For additional guidance, please, consult your cell phone provider.

Removing/Inserting the Battery

Open the battery door by putting your ﬁngernail under the nail

grip and pulling gently until the battery door is completely open.

Remove the used battery from the battery compartment.

Tip: Hold the instrument over a table or a soft surface in case

the battery falls out.

Remove the ﬁlm from a new battery and place the new battery

into the battery compartment, matching the plus (+) sign on ﬂat

side of the battery to the plus sign in the battery compartment.

Close the battery compartment tightly but do not use force - it should close very easily.

Your hearing system should now be on.

Tip: Removing the battery when the instrument is not being worn will help prevent

corrosion of the battery contacts.

Corrosion can decrease efﬁciency, causing excessive battery consumption.

Note:Aweakbatterywillcausereducedsystemperformance.

Low Battery Warning

YourhearingsystemfeaturesaLowBatteryWarningfunctiontogiveyounoticewhen

your battery is getting low.

The instrument will signal when the battery power decreases to a certain level, and

will continue beeping until the instrument automatically switches off.

Tip: It is helpful to keep spare batteries with you in case you need them.

Battery Safety

• Disposeofusedbatteriesproperly.

• Keepbatteriesoutofreachofchildrenorpersonswithdiminishedmentalcapacity.

• Keepbatteriesawayfrompets.

• Donotplacebatteriesinyourmouth.Ifabatteryhasbeenswallowed,

consult a physician immediately.

To prevent batteries from leaking or exploding:

• Donotexposebatteriestotemperatureextremes.

• Donotdisposeofbatteriesinre.

• Donotattempttorechargebatterieswhicharenotspecicallydesignated

rechargeable, or reverse a battery’s polarity.

Cleaning the Instrument

The surfaces of your instruments should be cleaned after every use. Use a soft cloth

toremovedirt, dust, earwaxand residue from cosmetics or colognes.Keeping the

instruments as clean as possible will help avoid

costly repairs.

Only use cleaning products recommended by your

hearing healthcare professional. Please refer to

“Things that Can Damage Your Hearing System”

for more information.

Cleaning the Sound Inlet and Outlet

Refer to the diagram on page 4 to locate the sound

inlet and sound outlet on the hearing instrument.

Cleaning the Microphone Sound Inlet

Keepingthesoundinletcleanwillallowthemicrophone

to function properly. Use the soft brush provided with

your hearing system to remove dust or other debris

from the sound inlet.

Cleaning the Sound Outlet

Earwax or other debris may also collect in the sound outlet. Unless ﬁlters

have been installed to block the debris, the cleaning loop provided with your

hearing instrument can easily be used to remove this material.

When using this tool, be careful not to damage or pull the tubing placed at the opening

of the sound outlet. If this is pulled out, the hearing instrument may need to be returned

for repair.

Your hearing healthcare professional can instruct you on how to properly use the cleaning

loop and soft brush.

Note:Ifyourhearingsystemhasbeenequippedwithlters,pleaserefertothe“Ear-

waxManagement”section.

Earwax Management

Hearing systems are susceptible to damage or poor performance from earwax. If

appropriate, your hearing health professional will have selected and installed an ear-

wax management system on your instruments.

You will need to discuss with your hearing healthcare professional how to use the

particular earwax management system selected.

Note: If the hearing system seems to have lost power because it is not loud enough

and changing the batteries does not help, the ﬁlters may be blocked and need to be

changed.

When the Hearing System Is Not in Use

To protect your hearing system when it is not in use, always store it

inside its carrying case. When storing the hearing system for a prolonged period of

time, remove the battery to prevent damage from corrosion.

Things that Can Damage Your Hearing System

Keep in mind that some of your day-to-day routines require that you remove your
