BTE
Before placing the BTE earmold into your ear, first make sure the battery
is inserted properly and the battery door is securely closed. Also make
sure the M-T-O switch is set to “O” (off).
To insert, hold the earmold on the outer side near the tubing
with your thumb and forefinger. Gently insert the canal tip of
the earmold into the ear canal. Then softly press the earmold
into place with your fingertip.
Carefully place the instrument behind your ear with the earhook
and earmold tubing wrapped over the top.
To remove, take the instrument out from behind your ear and
gently pull the earmold outward. Pulling down on the ear lobe
may help loosen the earmold as it is removed.
ITE
Before placing the ITE in your ear, first make sure the battery is inserted
properly and the battery door is securely closed. If the instruments have
a volume control, make sure they are in the “off” position.
To insert, hold the instrument between your thumb and forefinger
with the volume control toward the top of your ear. The battery
compartment should be facing away from your ear canal. Then gently
insert the instrument into your ear.
Gently rotate the instrument until its comfortably set inside
the bowl of your ear. Pull your ear lobe down slightly and press
on the instrument to ensure it is firmly in place.
To remove, grasp the instrument with your thumb and forefinger,
and gently rotate it as you pull outward. Never use the battery
compartment door to pull the instrument out of your ear—it
is not designed to withstand this pressure and may become damaged.
ITC
Before placing the ITC into your ear, first make sure the battery is inserted
properly and the battery door is securely closed. If the instruments have
a volume control, make sure they are in the “off” position.
To insert, hold the instrument between your thumb and forefinger
with the volume control toward the top of your ear. The battery
compartment should be facing away from your ear canal. Then gently
insert the instrument into your ear canal.
There are two methods of removing the ITC from your ear. One
way is by using your finger to gently massage the area behind
your ear lobe. The soft pressure should work the instrument out
of your ear. The other method is to reach into the ear with thumb
and forefinger, and gently pull the instrument out.
Never use the battery compartment door to pull the instrument
out of your ear—it is not designed to withstand this pressure
and may become damaged.
CIC
Before placing the CIC into your ear, first make sure the battery is inserted
properly and the battery door is securely closed.
To insert, hold the instrument with the insertion/removal line
between your thumb and forefinger, and the microphone opening
at the top of the instrument. Simply guide the instrument down
into your ear canal until you feel resistance.
Let go of the insertion line, and push the instrument in until
it is resting comfortably inside your canal. To ease insertion,
you may wish to pull down on your ear lobe with your other hand
as you push.
To remove, slowly and gently pull the insertion/removal line
outward.
Never use the battery compartment door to pull the instrument
out of your ear—it is not designed to withstand this pressure
and may become damaged.
