Features o your Tandem™ Hearing

Instruments

Tandem™hearing instruments come equipped with

various advanced features, including:

• CROS and BiCROS inputs

• Automatic listening program plus 3manual

programs for Tandem 16

•4manual programs for Tandem 4

• Speech enhancement LD

• AntiShock™

• Noise reduction

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 Tandem 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 instruments. 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 disabled certain features

depending on your requirements.

Putting your Hearing Instruments on

your Ears

Your behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing instruments may be

color-coded red for your right ear and blue for your left

ear. This color indicator is located on the battery door

with a small colored dot. The transmitter hearing

instrument is for your poor ear and the receiver

hearing instrument with the receiver boot is for your

better ear.

BTEs with Earmolds

1. Hold the earmold between your thumb and index

finger. The opening should be pointing in towards

your ear canal with the BTE resting upwards near

the top of your ear. Carefully insert the earmold in

your ear. You may need to turn it slightly

backwards. 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.
