Features of your Passport™ Hearing
Instrument
Passport premium hearing instruments come
equipped with the following features:
• automatic listening program
• 3 additional manual programs
• SmartFocus with personal adjustment for Clarity
and Comfort settings
• Wireless capability with duoLink
• Optional wireless connectivity to other devices
It may take some time for you to fully adjust to your
new hearing instruments. In the beginning, do not feel
as though you need to wear them for longer than is
comfortable. Depending on your previous experience
with hearing instruments, increase wearing time
gradually until you have fully adjusted to them.
Eventually, you should wear your Passport hearing
instruments all day every day.
Please consult your hearing healthcare professional
regarding any adjustments you may require to ensure
that you are happy with your hearing instrument. For
instance, pitch and loudness of the beeps can be
adjusted or turned off entirely. Also note that this is a
general guide and your hearing healthcare
professional may have enabled or disengaged certain
features depending on your requirements.

Putting your Hearing Instruments on
your Ears
Your BTE hearing instrument may be color-coded red
for your right ear and blue for your left ear. This color
indicator is located on the bottom of the battery door
with a small colored dot.
BTEs with Earmolds
1. Hold the ear mold between your thumb and index
finger. The opening should be pointing in towards
your ear canal with the BTE resting upwards over
the top of your ear. Carefully insert the earmold in
your ear. You may need to twist it slightly
clockwise. The earmold should fit into your ear
snugly and comfortably.
2. Place the hearing instrument over the top of your
ear.

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.

Turning your 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.
ON:
To turn the hearing instrument on, close the battery
door fully. Note: It may take 5 seconds before
the hearing device turns on. Your hearing healthcare
provider can additionally increase the start up delay if
required.
OFF:
To turn the hearing instrument off, partially open the
battery door. This position allows excess moisture to
vent away from the battery compartment.
Note: When turning your hearing
instrument on and off while it is on the ear,
grasp the top and bottom of the device
with your index finger and thumb. Use your
thumb to open and close the battery door.

Battery Information
To replace the hearing instrument battery, fully open
the battery door for access to the battery
compartment.
Low Battery Warning
When you hear two long beeps, your hearing devices
are warning you that their batteries are low. You will
hear the warning approximately every 30 minutes
until you change the batteries or the batteries die.
After the first warning, you may experience some
reduction in sound quality. This is normal and can be
remedied by inserting fresh batteries in the hearing
devices. If you prefer, your hearing healthcare
professional can change the pitch and loudness of the
low battery beep or turn it off entirely.
