Battery Information
The hearing aid uses a size 10 battery. The battery life varies
depending on the amount of hearing aid use. Battery life is typically
about 85 hours, or one week.
Low battery indicator
A warning of three double beeps every eight minutes indicates that
the battery needs to be replaced. If you do not change your battery,
you will hear another warning of six double beeps, at which time
your hearing aid will automatically turn off.
Inserting/replacing the battery
Gently pull open the battery door with your ngernail. If a used
battery is currently in the compartment, grasp the battery with your
thumb and index nger and remove.
Insert the new battery into the battery compartment with the (+) sign
on the battery facing the same way as the (+) sign on the battery
door. While holding the battery in place, peel off the plastic tab.
Dispose used batteries as you
would other electronic waste that
potentially contains rare earth
metals.
Do not place batteries in your
mouth or swallow them under
any circumstances. If batteries
are swallowed, contact your
physician or local poison control
center immediately.
Tip: Wait for a few seconds
before closing the battery door
after peeling the plastic tab. If
the door does not close easily,
check to see if the battery was
inserted properly.
Tip: To prolong battery life,
remember to turn your hearing
aid off when not in use.
Remove the batteries and keep
the battery door open will not
only conserve the battery’s
life but also allow internal
moisture to evaporate.

Wearing Your Hearing Aid
1. Hold the hearing aid by the bottom of the retention ring.
2. Place the hearing aid in the ear canal with the speaker pointed toward the eardrum.
3. The retention ring will prevent the hearing aid from being inserted too deeply into the canal.
4. Curl the retention ring along the body of your ear.
Turning Your Hearing Aid On and Off
Your hearing aids have a battery door that acts as an on/off switch that allows access to the battery compartment.
1. ON: Close battery door fully. 2. OFF: Open the battery door.
It may take several seconds before the hearing
aid turns on after inserting the battery. Your
hearing healthcare provider can change the
start up delay if required.
When turning your hearing aid on and off,
grasp the top and bottom of the device with
your index nger and thumb. Use your thumb
to open and close the battery door.

Program Instructions
To change the program, tap the outer part of your
ear twice. This will advance the hearing aid to the
next highest program. When already in the highest
program, the device will loop back to Program 1.
The ngers should be held together, and the nger
tips should lightly tap the outer part of the ear. The
tap should be a at pat on the ear. It is the pressure
generated by the pat that triggers the switch. The pat
should be soft and never painful or severe enough to
cause ringing in your ear.
The hearing aid does not need to be touched to
change the program. The hearing aid will beep and
alert you which program has been selected.
