Inserting your earmold
Inserting your earmold correctly every time, takes
practice, patience and perseverance.
If you are hav-
ing difficulty inserting your earmolds, please consult
your hearing care professional.
Insert your earmold first, then position the hearing
instrument over your ear.
• Grasp the earmold tubing
between your thumb and index
finger. The thumb should be
just behind the tubing where it
enters the earmold. The top
part of the earmold needs to be
pointing straight up. The canal
part of the earmold should be
pointing towards the ear canal
entrance.
• If you have difficulty inserting the
earmold, pull the ear lobe down
with the other hand, or pull the top
of the ear back and up.
•
Lift the earmold up to your ear.
Push the canal part
of the earmold into the ear canal opening twisting
slightly to ease the helix portion into position. The
helix part should be pointing straight up and should
slip into position.
• If your ear is becoming sore from trying to insert
the earmold, spread a small amount of Vaseline
around the outer edges of the earmold to help it slip
into position easily. Be careful not to get any
Vaseline into the sound outlet.
If your ear remains
sore please
consult your hearing care professional.
Look in a mirror. If the helix part of the earmold is
visible, it is not inserted correctly.
Run your index finger down the skin just in front of
your ear. If you can touch the helix part of the earmold,
it is not inserted correctly. Use your index finger to
push the helix part of your earmold back behind the
flap of skin. It may help to gently pull this flap of
skin forward with the other hand at the same time.

To position the hearing instrument
• Once the earmold is inserted cor-
rectly, lift the hearing instrument up
and position it behind the ear. Take
care not to twist the tubing of the
hearing instrument.
Removing your earmold and hearing instrument
• Lift the hearing instrument up and over from behind
the ear.
• Using your index finger, pry out the helix part of the
earmold.
• Grasp the helix part.
• Twist the helix part forward.
• Gently pull the earmold straight out of the ear,
holding on to the helix part of the mold.
Important
Do not take the earmold out of the ear by pulling the
hearing instrument. This might disconnect the
instrument from the earmold or damage the tubing.

ON/OFF function Neo 102/112/105
Turn on your hearing instruments
by closing the battery doors com-
pletely. They will make a beep.
Turn off your hearing instruments
by opening the battery doors
slightly until a click is felt.
It is also possible to turn off the
hearing instruments by placing the
base on a flat surface and then gen-
tly pressing and dragging the hear-
ing instrument as illustrated. This
action will open the battery door
slightly and turn the hearing instru-
ment off.
Note: Never force the battery drawer open or closed.

Volume Control
To increase the volume:
Turn the volume control up
To decrease the volume:
Turn the volume control down
The volume control has no mechanical stop. This means
that you can continue to turn it, but the loudness will
only be altered between the programmed minimum
and maximum.
Note: The instrument loudness level will reset when
the battery is low, the battery drawer is opened
or if
the program is changed.
If the instrument resets, it will
automatically default to the preset loudness level.
Your hearing care professional can program the
Volume Control to remain at a fixed level, if desired.
Note: If you find that you are frequently turning the
volume control up or frequently turning the volume
control down in most listening situations then consult
your hearing care professional for a possible adjust-
ment of the hearing instrument settings.
