removing the hearing instrument.
Removal of the ITC & ITE Hearing Instrument
To remove the hearing instrument:
1. Gently massage behind your earlobe with an upward and
downward motion to dislodge the instrument.
2. Place your thumb on the bottom and forefinger on the top
of the instrument, and carefully remove the instrument
out of your ear canal with a slight "corkscrew" motion.
By experimenting, you may find a method that is easier
for you. Consult your hearing care professional if you have
difficulty removing the hearing instrument.

Changing the Battery

Open the battery compartment completely using your
fingernail, as described earlier. After removing the old
battery, insert the new one with the "+" (flat) side facing
the "+" on the battery door. It should fit in like a puzzle
piece. The battery door should close very easily. Never use
force to close the door as this may damage your hearing
instrument.

Always use the correct zinc-air battery size for your instru-
ment. Please note that if the battery is weak, the hearing
instrument performance will be reduced. Removing the
battery when you are not wearing the instrument will help
prevent corrosion of the battery contacts and reduce
battery consumption.
