Welcome Thank you for choosing our hearing instruments to accompany you through everyday life. Like anything new, it may take you a little time to become familiar with them. This guide, along with support from your Hearing Care Professional, will help you understand the advantages and greater quality of life your hearing instruments offer. To receive the most benefit from your hearing instruments, it is recommended that you wear them every day, all day. This will help you get adjusted to them.
Your hearing instruments This user guide describes optional features that your hearing instruments may or may not have. Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the features that are valid for your hearing instruments. Instrument type Your hearing instruments are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) model.

Getting to know your hearing instruments It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new hearing instruments. With the instruments in your hand try using the controls and note their location on the instrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and press the controls while wearing the hearing instruments. If you have problems pressing the controls of your hearing instruments while wearing them, you can use a remote control to control your instruments.

Maintenance and care To prevent damage it is important that you take care of your hearing instruments and follow a few basic rules, which will soon become a part of your daily routine. Hearing instruments Drying and storage X Dry your hearing instruments overnight. X Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended drying products.
Cleaning Your hearing instruments have a protective coating. However, if not cleaned regularly you may damage the hearing instruments or cause personal injury. X Clean your hearing instruments daily with a soft, dry tissue. X Never use running water or immerse the devices in water. X Never apply pressure while cleaning. X Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended cleaning products, special care sets, or more information on how to keep your hearing instruments in good condition.
Ear pieces Cleaning Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces. This may affect sound quality. Clean the ear pieces daily. For all types of ear pieces: X Clean the ear piece right after removal with a soft and dry tissue. This prevents that cerumen becomes dry and hard. For Click Domes or Click Sleeves: X Squeeze the tip of the ear piece.

The procedure for exchanging standard ear pieces depends on the type of ear piece. In section "Components and names", your Hearing Care Professional has marked your type of ear piece.
