Getting used to your hearing aid
Perseverance is key!
• Getting used to your hearing aid takes time and requires
regular use.
• It may help to build up usage of the hearing aid by
wearing it for short periods of time to begin with and
increase wearing time gradually
• This process may take several months for you to fully
adjust to your new hearing aid.
Hearing aid alarms and warnings
• The hearing aid will make a sound (Beethoven’s 5th)
when running out of battery. Please change the battery
when you hear this.
• Sometimes a hearing aid will beep 10 times before it
turns on; this is a normal feature of the hearing aid and
will not affect the output of the hearing aid.
HEARING AID BATTERIES ARE DANGEROUS
TO INGEST, IF SWOLLOWED PLEASE SEEK

Cleaning and maintenance
Wipe the hearing aid and thin tube with a wet wipe or a
damp cloth to keep clean.
Changing the Wax Guard on your RIC hearing aid
This will need to be changed every 2-3 months or when a
blockage is noticed
Step 1: these are your wax guards, this
has two functions, to remove your used
filter and holds your new filter.
Step 2: remove your dome by pinching
the end and pulling it off. Then insert the
black end of the rod into the white wax
guard. Pull this wax guard out.
Step 3: Push the new wax guard onto
the receiver (other end of the black
stick). Push until the new guard is flush
with the end of the receiver.
Step 4: Pull the black stick back out
and the wax guard should remain on
the hearing aid. The dome can now be
placed back on the hearing aid.

Telephone and Loop System information
• You may find it easier to hear
on the telephone if you hold
the telephone towards the
top of the ear (closer to the
microphone, see picture)
• TOP TIP: Hold the telephone
slightly away from the ear to
prevent whistling.
Telecoil Loop
• This is found in public places
(wherever you see the symbol).
• Change to your loop programme (if
active on your hearing aid) and you
will hear through the loop system.
Reminder
• Take your hearing aid out before going to bed and
when having a shower/bath
• DO NOT get hearing aid wet!
Lost aids
• If the hearing aid is lost or damaged through negligence
there will be a £65 charge per hearing aid to replace
