Usage

Adjusting your hearing amplifier

1. The hearing tubes are printed with “2B” in red and blue respectively. “Red” is for the right and “blue” is for the left ear.
   
2. Attach the earplug to the sound tube by pushing it over the grooves on the tube until it sits securely in place.
   
3. Place the hearing amplifier case behind your ear. The curved part of the sound tube should sit comfortably on the ear (next to the arm of the glasses for glasses wearers).
   
4. Hold the sound tube in place and carefully position the earplug in the ear canal. Make sure not to insert the earplug too deeply into the ear canal. If the earplug is not properly in place or feels uncomfortable, try a different earplug.
   
5. Place the fixing tube along your outer ear. This ensures the earplug sits more tightly in your ear. If the fixing tube bothers you, you can remove it at the connecting point to the speaker. It is not absolutely necessary.
   

Cleaning and maintenance

• Always keep the hearing amplifier clean.
• Always treat the products with care and prevent the earplug and microphone from becoming blocked with foreign matter. This impairs the function of sound amplification.
• Clean the hearing amplifiers and earplugs with a clean, dry cloth after each use. Never use abrasive, corrosive or solvent-based cleaning products. 44
• Under no circumstances should you hold the hearing amplifier underwater, as this can cause liquid to enter and damage the hearing amplifier.
• The supplied cleaning brush is suitable for removing earwax stuck in the earplug (see device description).
• Allow the hearing amplifier to dry fully after cleaning. Store the hearing amplifiers in a safe, dry, and clean place in the relevant storage box with a charging function with the drying capsule.
• The drying capsule has to be replaced if the color of the granulate changes from orange to white (you can find out where to obtain a new drying capsule in section “9. Accessories and replacement parts”).
• If this is the case, replace the earwax guard (you can find out where to obtain a new earwax guard in section “9. Accessories and replacement parts”).
