Pico RITE Hearing Systems – Overview
The Pico RITE receiver-in-the-ear hearing instrument is easy to handle and comfortable to wear. The
small RITE instrument, in combination with sophisticated technology, delivers tangible end-user
benets. This guide is designed to help you t and manage Pico RITE hearing systems.
Pico RITE hearing systems offer three speaker units:
·The 60-Speaker, which is appropriate for mild to moderate hearing losses
·The 85-Speaker, which is appropriate for moderate to moderately severe hearing losses
·The 100-Speaker, which provides additional power for severe hearing losses

Selecting the Speaker Unit Length
Four receiver lengths are available for all speakers. No. 1 is the shortest, while no. 4 is the longest.
Before tting Pico RITE hearing instruments, it is necessary to determine the correct speaker unit
length. The measurement procedure is the same for all speaker units.
CN_ILLU_NRMeasurementT ool_BW_HI
Place the measurement tool over the ear, keeping the top line
horizontal. With your eyes at the same level as the ear, determine
which mark is closest to an imaginary line running over the top of
the ear canal. In this example, the correct choice is size 2.
11 JU_ILLU_PR_WirePerfect_BW
Power Molds will have a better t if you choose a slightly longer
wire length than you would when tting a Power Dome. If the
top of the ear canal falls between two numbers on the gauge,
choose the higher number.
CN_ILLU_NR_Wearing instrument2_BW_HI_r
If the speaker unit wire is too long, the hearing instrument will
fall back over the ear and the microphones will point vertically
instead of horizontally. It is also unlikely that the receiver wire will
t the contours of the ear correctly.
10 JU_ILLU_PR_WireTooShort_BW
If the speaker unit wire is too short, it will have a tendency to
move out of the ear canal, and the hearing instrument will lose
stability on the ear.

Attaching the Speaker Unit to a Pico RITE Hearing System
The correct speaker unit attachment is imperative. The following instructions apply to all types of
speaker units for Pico RITE hearing systems.
1 Slide the connector plug into the connector socket
of the instrument
2 Ensure that the snap on the connector plug is
completely inserted into the opening on the
hearing instrument housing
3 To test the attachment of the speaker unit to the
hearing instrument, gently pull the speaker wire
near the connection to the hearing instrument as
shown. If the speaker comes off, then it was not
attached properly.
Speaker units can easily sustain internal
damage if dropped. Before you attach the
speaker unit, please place a dome on the
speaker to protect it.

Detaching the Speaker Unit from a Pico RITE
Hearing System
1 Hold the instrument rmly with one hand, and
with the other hand hold the multi tool. Place the
pointed end of the tool underneath the locking
snap and push it up until the connector plug is
free.
2 Gently pull the connector plug out of the socket.
If it does not come out easily, verify that the snap
is completely free.
Do not attempt to detach the speaker unit
by pulling on the wire. This could damage
both the speaker unit and the hearing
instrument.
