Left/Right Ear Marking; Inserting Your Hearing Instruments - oticon Acto CIC Instructions For Use Manual

Left/right ear marking

Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have
two instruments then your left hearing instrument is shaped and programmed differently
from your right. That is why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing
instrument and the right.
In order to easily identify whether it is the left ear or right ear instrument, colour markings
may be applied.
Blue text or a blue dot marks the LEFT instrument.
Red text or a red dot marks the RIGHT instrument.

Inserting your hearing instruments

Place the tip of the hearing instrument in your ear canal.
Gently pull your ear and push the hearing instrument into
the ear canal, twisting slightly if necessary, following the
natural contour of the ear canal.
DO NOT use the battery door as a handle to insert or
remove your instruments. It is not designed for this
purpose.
