Welcome
Thank you for choosing Miracle-Ear®hearing aids to
accompany you through everyday life. Like anything
new, it may take you a little time to become familiar with
them.
This guide, along with support from your Hearing Care
Specialist, will help you understand the advantages and
greater quality of life your hearing aids offer.
To receive the most benefit from your hearing aids, it is
recommended that you wear them every day, all day.
This will help you get adjusted to them.
CAUTION
It is important to read this user manual and the
safety manual thoroughly and completely. Follow
the safety information to avoid damage or injury.
Your hearing aids
This user manual describes optional features that
your hearing aids may or may not have. Ask your
Hearing Care Specialist to indicate the features
that are valid for your hearing aids.
Hearing aid type
Your hearing aids are customized models that have
been individually manufactured based on the anatomy
of your ears. They are worn directly in the ear, either in
the bowl of the ear or deep inside the ear canal. They
are not intended for children under the age of 3 years
or persons with a developmental age of under 3 years.
The wireless functionality enables advanced
audiological features and synchronization between your
two hearing aids.
Your hearing aids feature Bluetooth® *low energy
technology allowing for easy data exchange with your
smartphone, and for seamless audio streaming with
your iPhone.**
*The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and any
use of such marks by the legal manufacturer of this product is under licenses. Other
trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.
**iPhone is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

Getting to know your hearing aids
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing aids. With the hearing aid in your hand try using
the controls and note their location on the hearing aid.
This will make it easier for you to feel and press the
controls while wearing the hearing aids.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing aids while wearing them, you can use a
smartphone app to control your hearing aid.
Components and names
This user manual describes several types of hearing
aids. Use the following pictures to identify the type of
hearing aid that you use.
Note that the push button and vent are individually
positioned on your hearing aid to best suit your ear.
The appearance of your hearing aids may therefore
differ from that of those pictured.
