Inserting and Removing ITE and CIC
Hearing Instruments
ITE and CIC hearing instruments are color-coded red
for the right ear and blue for the left ear. The color is
indicated either on the shell or on a label on the
hearing instrument.
To insert ITEs and CICs:
1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb
and index finger with the battery door away from
your ear.
2. If your hearing instrument is a CIC, insert by
holding the hearing instrument with the removal
handle at the bottom.
3. Gently insert the canal portion of the hearing
instrument into your ear using your index finger to
push back and tuck the hearing instrument
completely into place.
To remove ITEs and CICs:
1. If your hearing instrument is a CIC, gently pull on
the removal handle. To remove ITE hearing
instruments, grasp the instrument with your thumb
and index finger.
2. Move your jaw up and down or apply pressure to
the back of your ear to help loosen the instrument.
