To ensure your Simplicity device has a good
battery, perform the following sound test...
1. Insert a fresh battery into device and close the
door. The device will always start in volume
level one (one beep), the lowest volume level.
2. Cup the device in your hand and hold it close
to your ear. You should hear a high-pitched
sound called feedback.
3. If you don’t hear anything, check to ensure
the battery is correctly installed and the door is fully closed. You may
need to press the Volume Select button to change the volume to a
higher volume level.
If you still don’t hear any whistling, then try a fresh battery. You may
need to try more than one battery from the battery pack.
If you still do not hear any sound from the device, free customer sup-
port is available to you (see page 25 for contact information).
Try to wear your hearing aid every day!
Occasional use will not allow you to attain full
benet from your hearing aid. Allow for a
period of adjustment in your routine listening
environment. It may take a period of time to
become fully adjusted to hearing certain
sounds again.
If you have purchased a single aid, we suggest
that you consider purchasing a device for your
other ear. Amplication for both ears provides a sense of hearing balance
and allows you to reduce
the amount of volume needed by a single device.
Hearing aids will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or
improve a hearing impairment. Use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing
habilitation and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and
instruction in lip reading.
Discontinue use of your aids(s) and consult with your physician if you
notice any of the following symptoms: skin irritation, increased produc-
tion of earwax, and any pain associated with the ear.
