Turning Your Unison ™ Hearing Instruments On and Off Your Unison hearing devices may have a volume control that also serves as an on/off switch. To turn your hearing devices on, rotate the volume control towards your nose. Note: If the start up mute is activated, your hearing devices will not turn on until the program button is pushed.
Inserting and Removing ITE and CIC Hearing Instruments ITE and CIC hearing instruments are color-coded red for the right ear and blue for the left ear. The color is indicated either on the shell or on a label on the hearing device.
Feedback-Free Listening Your Unison hearing instruments may have an optional start up mute that can be activated by your hearing healthcare professional. If the start up mute is activated, your hearing instruments will not turn on until the program button is pushed, even if the battery door is in the ON position.
For Unison Essential, each time you push the program button, you will move from program 1 to the telecoil program. For Unison 3 and 6, each time you push the program button you will move among up to three programs.

You will hear the warning approximately every 30 minutes until you change the batteries or the batteries die. After the first warning, you may experience some reduction in sound quality.
Caring for your Unison ™ Hearing Instruments • Always remove your hearing devices when using hair care products. The hearing devices can become clogged and cease to function properly. • Protect your hearing devices from excessive heat (hair dryer, vehicle glove box or dashboard) and moisture (bath or shower).

Ensuring your hearing instruments are free of ear wax is an important step in your daily cleaning and maintenance routine. • Using the brush that was provided with your hearing instruments, clean ear wax from your hearing instruments everyday.
Warnings • Hearing instruments should only be used as directed by your physician or hearing healthcare professional. • Hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. • Do not use your hearing instruments in explosion hazard areas.
