Left/Right Ear Marking; Putting On Your Instrument - oticon Alta 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 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 a left ear or right ear instrument, color markings
may be applied inside the battery door.
A blue dot marks the LEFT instrument.
A red dot marks the RIGHT instrument.

putting on your instrument

Place the speaker, with the ear piece attached, into your ear
first (1) and then place the instrument behind your ear (2).
If the instrument has a mold as its ear piece, ensure it is
positioned in the ear canal tightly but comfortably.
Make sure that the ear piece is placed so that the tube
follows the contour of the skin.
If the instrument has an ear grip, place it in the ear as
indicated in drawings 3 and 4 so it follows the contour of the
ear.
