Your hearing in󰄋ruments

This user guide describes optional features that

your hearing in󰘵ruments may or may not have.

Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the

features that are valid for your hearing in󰘵ruments.

In󰄋rument type

Your hearing in󰘵ruments are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)

model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and

connected to the in󰘵rument via a receiver cable. The

in󰘵ruments are not intended for children under the age

of 3 years or persons with a developmental age of under

3 years.

Getting to know your hearing in󰄋ruments

It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new

hearing in󰘵ruments. With the in󰘵ruments in your hand

try using the controls and note their location on the

in󰘵rument. This will make it easier for you to feel and

press the controls while wearing the hearing in󰘵ruments.

If you have problems pressing the controls of your

hearing in󰘵ruments while wearing them, you can

ask your Hearing Care Professional about a remote

control option.
