Charging
- When charging the hearing aid, it can be charged through the power adapter or through the USB interface
- Hearing aid charging: first turn off the power of the hearing aid, and then charge it. The first charge should ensure sufficient charging time (not affected by the indicator light), and a charging time of 10-12 hours should be guaranteed.
- If the hearing aid is not used for a long time, the battery self-discharge will cause the battery to be seriously insufficient. It should be charged, and the charging time should reach 12 hours. Even if the charging indicator shows that the charging is complete, the charging should not be stopped (guarantee to reach 12 hours )
- During use, the hearing aid volume becomes low or when the hearing aid is not in use, the power should be turned off and charged (this will better protect the hearing aid battery). This is very important! Otherwise, it will cause excessive discharge
- The hazards of excessive battery discharge will reduce the battery capacity and affect the battery life to varying degrees
- When using AC power to charge, if the charging is over, unplug the power in time.

21-day wear chart
THE JOURNEY TO LISTENING Unlike vision correction, which simply wears glasses, hearing correction is a rather detailed process. Once you start your hearing correction journey, you will experience countless “new sounds”, and your brain needs to adapt for a period of time. In just a few weeks, you will be shocked by a sound that you have never experienced before. If you have any questions, we will serve you wholeheartedly.
THE FIRST WEEK
Some sounds may be too noisy when wearing a hearing aid for the first time, such as the buzzing of the refrigerator, the wrinkling of paper, or the sound of your footsteps. This is normal, and your brain is relearning how to prioritize these sounds that you don’t hear very often. Sometimes you may not like the noise, but please don’t give up wearing it.
How to wear
Choose earplugs that fit your ear canal size
- Install the selected earplugs and the machine
- Wear the hearing aid as shown in the figure, and rotate the hearing aid to the ear canal as shown by the arrow in the figure MIC
- Adjust the appropriate volume program * When adjusting the volume, do not cover the pickups port|
Turn ON
After the hearing aid leaves the charging compartment, it will automatically turn on after 10 seconds, and you will hear a “beep” sound. You will have plenty of time to wear your hearing aid to prevent howling/ acoustic echo during the wearing process.

OPERATION GUIDE
Before wearing
Note:
Be sure to choose earplugs that fit your ear canal and wear them correctly to fit your ears as much as possible. If you don’t wear it properly, there will be echoes (whistles/sounds). Note: After wearing, you can turn on the hearing aid to adjust the volume and program! !
Problems encountered in wearing
- There is no sound when wearing? If there is no sound:
- Check whether the volume program is adjusted to suit your hearing Check whether the hearing aid has electricity
- Whether there is no episode in the ear canal, and the earwax is blocking the sound of the hearing aid.
Note: If the hearing aid is silent or the sound becomes low due to the blockage of the sound outlet. please clean the sound outlet.
- 2. Why is there a howling (sharp sound)? Howling (sharp sound) is a manifestation of the normal working of hearing aids. The hearing aid and the ear canal are not completely matched, causing the sound from the receiver to be received by the microphone again, and the sound forms a loop, which will be continuously amplified and produce howling. Solution: The product is equipped with earplugs of different sizes, please choose the earplugs that fit your ear canal.
