2. If your hearing device is a CIC, insert by holding the
hearing device with the removal handle at the
bottom.
3. Gently insert the canal portion of the hearing device
into your ear using your index finger to push back and
tuck the hearing device completely into place.
To remove ITEs and CICs:
1. If your hearing device is a CIC, gently pull on the
removal handle. To remove ITE hearing devices, grasp
the device with your thumb and index finger.

back of your ear to help loosen the device.
