Setup Instructions
- Select Ear Dome Size: Choose the silicone ear dome that best fits your ear canal. An appropriately sized dome is crucial for comfort and optimal sound quality. If the dome is too large, it may cause discomfort. If too small, it can lead to sound leakage and potential squealing.
- Insert Battery: Locate the battery compartment on the hearing aid. Insert one LR44 battery, ensuring the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment securely.
- Attach Ear Tube and Dome: Ensure the ear sound tube is securely attached to the main unit, and the selected ear dome is firmly placed on the end of the ear tube.
- Position the Hearing Aid: Gently place the main unit of the hearing aid behind your ear. Guide the ear tube and dome into your ear canal until it feels snug and comfortable.

Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Locate the On/Off switch on the hearing aid. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to power on the device. Slide it to 'OFF' when not in use to conserve battery life.
- Adjust Volume: Use the volume control wheel or slider to adjust the sound amplification level. Start with a lower volume setting and gradually increase it until you reach a comfortable listening level. Avoid setting the volume too high, as this can cause discomfort or feedback.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the ear domes and the main unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning solutions directly on the device.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the LR44 battery when the sound becomes weak or the device stops functioning. Always dispose of used batteries responsibly.
- Storage: When not in use, store the hearing aids in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for an extended period.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
