Practical Solutions to Everyday Problems

Congratulations on choosing Conversa.NT™ITE (In-the-

Ear) digital hearing instruments.

For 40 years, Unitron Hearing has been committed to

making life better for people with hearing loss. This

means a commitment to developing high-quality hearing

solutions that incorporate special features to solve the

everyday problems and concerns you have with hearing

loss and hearing aids.

Conversa.NT includes high-value, advanced features that

make conversations a priority. With Conversa.NT you can

enjoy listening to conversations in quiet and noisy

situations. Conversa.NT also dramatically reduces

whistling so you can enjoy chewing your food or

conversing with friends on the telephone without being

interrupted by annoying whistling.

Getting the Most Out o Your

Conversa.NT™Hearing Instruments

Adjusting to your new hearing instruments will take

some time. In the beginning it is important that you do

not use the hearing aids for longer than is comfortable.

Depending on your previous experience with hearing

instruments, a few hours a day may be enough and then

you can increase wearing time gradually. Once you have

become accustomed to your hearing aids, you should

wear them all day everyday since frequent use will help

you adapt to your hearing aids and enjoy their full

benefits. The quicker you get used to the everyday

sounds around you, the less you will notice that you are

wearing hearing instruments.

Using the Conversa.NT™Digital ITE Guide

Refer to the table of contents for a complete listing of

the topics covered in this guide.

Use the diagram below to identify some of the

components on your hearing aids. Because each aid is

custom-designed and molded to fit an individual ear, the

physical appearance and exact positioning on your

hearing aids may vary slightly from those shown.

Turning Your Conversa.NT™Hearing Aids

On and O

Your Conversa.NT hearing aids may have

a volume control that also serves as an

on/off switch. To turn your hearing aids

on, rotate the volume control towards

your nose. Note: If the start up mute is activated, your

hearing aids will not turn on until the program button

is pushed.

To turn your hearing aids off, rotate the volume control

away from your nose.

For hearing aids without a volume control, close the

battery door to turn your hearing aids on. Open the

battery door or remove the battery to turn your hearing

aids off.

Inserting and Removing ITE and CIC

Hearing Aids

ITE and CIC hearing aids 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 aid.

To insert ITEs and CICs:

1. Hold the hearing aid between your thumb and index

finger with the battery door away from your ear.

2. If your hearing aid is a CIC, insert by holding the

hearing aid with the removal handle at the bottom.

3. Gently insert the canal portion of the hearing aid into

your ear using your index finger to push back and

tuck the hearing aid completely into place.

To remove ITEs and CICs:

1. If your hearing aid is a CIC, gently pull on the removal

handle. To remove ITE hearing aids, grasp the aid with

your thumb and index finger.

2. Move your jaw up and down or apply pressure to the

back of your ear to help loosen the aid.

Note: Never use the volume control or the battery door

to remove your hearing aids.

Feedback-Free Listening

Your Conversa.NT hearing aids have an optional start up

mute that can be activated by your hearing healthcare

professional. If the start up mute is activated, your

hearing aids will not turn on until the program button is

pushed, even if you rotate the volume control. The

hearing aids return to the start up mute position each

time you turn your hearing aids on. This allows you to

insert your hearing aids without experiencing whistling.

If you wear hearing aids now, you may have experienced

whistling from your hearing aids when you talk, chew,

use the telephone or hug someone. Conversa.NT’s

feedback technology dramatically reduces this

uncomfortable whistling before you or anyone else can

perceive it.

Changing Programs on Your

Conversa.NT™Digital Hearing Aids

Your Conversa.NT digital hearing aids may

have up to three programs. Each program has been

individually tailored by your hearing healthcare

professional to meet your particular listening needs.

Conversa.NT has a push-button for switching between

programs. Each time you push the program button, you

will move to a new program. Your hearing aids beep to

indicate which program you are in (i.e. one beep for

program 1, two beeps for program 2, etc.) If you prefer,

your hearing healthcare professional can adjust the pitch

and loudness of the program beep or turn it off entirely.

Adjusting the Volume

The volume on your hearing aids may adjust

automatically in response to the loud or quiet sounds

around you. If you have a manual volume control, you

can further adjust the volume on your hearing aids.

Rotate the volume control towards your nose to increase

the volume or away from your nose to decrease the

volume. Note that your volume control may be disabled

by your heairng healthcare professional and, therefore,

could be inactive.

Setting Your Ideal Volume

Conversa.NT digital hearing instruments equipped with

manual volume control have an ideal volume indicator. A

single beep indicates when the volume control has

reached its ideal level for your particular hearing loss, as

pre-set by your hearing healthcare professional.

Listening in Windy Environments

Conversa.NT’s wind noise manager will engage

automatically based on whether wind conditions are

moderate or high. When wind noise manager is

engaged, sounds such as speech, may become quieter

because the wind noise manager is working to reduce

the loud noise produced by the wind. When you are no

longer in a windy environment, the wind noise manager
