3. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.
Putting your hearing aids on your ears
Your behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids may be
color-coded with a small dot on the battery door:
red = right ear; blue = left ear.
BTEs with earmolds
1. Hold the earmold between
your thumb and index finger.
The opening should be
pointing in towards your ear
canal with the BTE resting
upwards over the top of your
ear.
2. Carefully insert the earmold
in your ear. You may need
to twist it slightly to the
back. The earmold should
fit into your ear snugly and
comfortably. Pulling down
and back on your earlobe may help you insert
the earmold into your ear canal more easily.

Turning your hearing aids on and off
Your hearing aids have a three-position battery
door that acts as an on/off switch and that
allows access to the battery compartment.
1. ON: Close the battery door
fully.
Note: It may take 5 seconds
before the hearing aid turns
on. Your hearing healthcare
provider can additionally
increase the start up delay if required.
2. OFF: Partially open the
battery door.

Battery information
To replace the battery, fully open the battery
door for access to the battery compartment.
Low battery warning
Two long beeps indicate the hearing aid battery
is low. After the low battery warning, you may
experience some reduction in sound quality.
This is normal and can be remedied by inserting
fresh batteries into the hearing aids.
If you are not able to hear the low battery
warning, your hearing healthcare professional
can change the pitch or loudness of the low
battery warning. If you prefer, it can be turned
off entirely.
Your hearing aids are designed to generate a
low battery warning every 30 minutes until you
change the batteries, but depending on the
condition of the batteries, they may die before
another low battery warning occurs. Therefore,
it is recommended that the batteries are
replaced as soon as possible once you hear the
low battery warning.
Replacing the battery
1. Gently swing out the battery
door with your fingernail.
2. Grasp the battery with your
thumb and index finger and
remove.
3. Insert the new battery into the
battery compartment with the
plus (+) sign on the battery
facing the same way as the
plus (+) sign on the side of the
battery door. This will ensure that the battery
door closes properly.
Note: If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the
hearing aid will not turn on.
4. Close the battery door.

Replacing the battery in hearing aids with a
tamper-resistant battery door
Your hearing instrument may
have a tamper-resistant battery
compartment.
1. Unlock the tamper-resistant
battery compartment by
pulling the white lever with
your fingernail and lift the
lever up to release the battery.
Remove the battery.
2. Insert the new battery into the
battery compartment with the
plus (+) sign on the battery
facing the same way as the
plus (+) sign on the edge of the
battery door. Lower the lever
onto the battery and push it is
until it is locked and securely
holds the battery tight.
3. Close the battery door.
Caring for batteries
Always discard batteries in a safe and
environmentally friendly way.
To prolong battery life, remember to turn your
hearing aids off when not in use.
Remove the batteries and keep the battery door
open while hearing aids are not in use. This will
allow internal moisture to evaporate.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for the first
time
1. Start in a quiet room at home first to get
used to the new sound quality. Sounds like
the ticking of a clock, the humming of the
computer, the beep of the microwave or the
rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud
to you at first, because you have not been
hearing them properly for a long time.
2. Read aloud to yourself and learn to correct
the volume of your own voice when you are
wearing the hearing aids.
3. Talk to different people and learn how to
distinguish between different sound patterns
again.
4. It will take some time before you are
completely used to your hearing aids and can
fully enjoy the benefits.
5. Wear your hearing aids for as many hours a
day as you can, and for a little longer each
day.
6. Make notes at the back of this booklet,
write down difficult situations and describe
what any unpleasant noises were like. This
information will help your hearing healthcare
professional to fine-tune the devices better
for you.
7. Involve your family and friends in this
familiarization period. For example,
ask someone to set the television to a
comfortable volume.
8. When you are beginning to get used to
wearing the hearing aids, wear them in more
difficult listening environments such as the
office, at parties or in restaurants. This can
be difficult even for people who can hear
normally. Give yourself time to regain your
ability to hear in these difficult situations.
9. Make your hearing aids part of your everyday
life and be patient with yourself until you
have retrained yourself to interpret the
sounds correctly.

Operating instructions
Your BTE hearing aids come with two controls
that allow you to further adjust your hearing
aids – a lever and a push button.
Lever
The lever on your hearing aids can be
set up as either a volume control or a
comfort-clarity control.
Volume control
If the lever has been configured as a volume
control, you can adjust the volume of your
hearing aids. Press up to increase; press down
to decrease. As you change the volume level,
your hearing aids will beep.
Volume setting Beeps
Recommended volume level 1 beep
Turning volume up short beep
Turning volume down short beep
Maximum volume level 2 beeps
Minimum volume level 2 beeps
Comfort-clarity control
If the lever has been configured as a comfort-
clarity control – press up to increase clarity of
speech; press down to decrease overall noise or
improve listening comfort. Each step will change
the hearing aid performance. Sometimes
multiple steps are required to achieve the
desired listening results. After each press wait
for about 4-5 seconds to allow the hearing aid
to adjust to the new setting.
As you change the comfort-clarity level, your
hearing aids will beep.
Comfort-clarity control setting Beeps
