Your hearing instruments

This user guide describes optional features that
your hearing instruments may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing instruments.

Instrument type

Your hearing instruments are BTE (Behind-The-Ear)
models. A tube delivers the sound from the hearing
instrument into the ear. The instruments are not intended
for infants, small children or mentally disabled persons.

Getting to know your hearing instruments

It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing instruments. With the instruments in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
instrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing instruments.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing instruments while wearing them, you
can ask your Hearing Care Professional whether a
remote control option is available.
