Practical Solutions to Everyday Problems

Congratulations on choosing your new Element™BTE

(Behind-the-Ear) hearing instruments. For over 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 instruments.

Element includes real problem solving innovations, high-

value advanced features, and delivers exceptional sound

quality in everyday listening environments. Your Element

hearing instrument may include an automatic program

that reads your listening environment and automatically

determines a sound destination that is most effective for

optimal listening as your listening needs change

throughout the day. Three additional manual programs

give you added flexibility to meet your particular

listening needs. Element’s sophisticated adaptive

features offer you the latest in digital technology so your

hearing instruments adapt without the need for manual

adjustments or fiddling by you.

Getting the Most Out of Your Element™

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 instruments 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 devices, you should wear them all day every day

since infrequent use will not permit you to adapt to your

hearing devices 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 Element™BTE Guide

Refer to the table of contents for a complete listing of

the topics covered in this guide.

There are different styles of BTEs available. The

diagrams below identify some of the components on

your hearing devices. Have your hearing healthcare

professional place a check beside the diagram that best

describes your BTE style.

Putting Your Element™Hearing

Instruments on Your Ears

BTEs with Slim Tubes

1. Hold the slim tube where it attaches to the dome and

gently push the dome into your ear canal. The slim

tube should lie flush against your head and not stick

out.

2. Place the hearing instrument over the top of your ear.

3. Place the retention piece in your ear so it rests at the

bottom of the opening of your ear canal.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for your other ear if you wear two

hearing devices.

BTEs with Earhooks

1. Carefully insert the earmold in your ear. The earmold

should fit into your ear snugly and comfortably.

2. Place the hearing instrument over the top of your ear.

3. Repeat steps 1-2 for your other ear if you wear two

hearing devices.

Turning Your Element™Hearing Instruments

On and Off

Your hearing instruments have a three-position battery

door that acts as an off/on switch and that allows access

to the battery compartment.

To turn the hearing instrument on, close the battery door

fully. Note: If the start up delay is activated, your

hearing instruments will not turn on for 10-15 seconds

after closing the battery door.

To turn the hearing instrument off, partially open the

battery door. This position allows excess moisture to

vent away from the battery compartment.

To replace the hearing instrument battery, fully open the

battery door for access to the battery compartment.

on off open

Note: When turning your hearing

instrument on and off, grasp the

top and bottom of the

instrument with your index finger

and thumb. Use your thumb to

open and close the battery door.
