Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install the FCS Ear Hook onto your hearing device:

Identify the Connection Point: Locate the existing ear hook or the connection point on your BTE (Behind-The-Ear) hearing aid where the ear hook attaches.
Remove Old Ear Hook (if applicable): Gently twist or pull the old ear hook to detach it from the hearing aid. Be careful not to damage the hearing aid.
Align New Ear Hook: Take your new FCS Ear Hook and align its threaded or snap-on end with the corresponding connection point on your hearing aid.
Attach Securely: Push or twist the FCS Ear Hook firmly until it is securely attached. Ensure there is no looseness, as this can affect sound quality and retention.
Check Fit: Once installed, gently tug on the ear hook to confirm it is firmly in place.

Operating the Ear Hook

The FCS Ear Hook is a passive component designed to securely hold your BTE hearing aid in place and direct sound into the ear canal. Once installed, no further operational steps are required for the ear hook itself. Its primary function is to provide a stable and comfortable fit, preventing the hearing aid from dislodging and minimizing feedback.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your FCS Ear Hook:

Regular Cleaning: Clean the ear hook regularly with a soft, damp cloth. You may use a mild soap solution if necessary, but ensure it is thoroughly rinsed and dried.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the ABS material.
Inspect for Wear: Periodically inspect the ear hook for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace the ear hook if it shows significant signs of deterioration to maintain optimal performance and hygiene.
Storage: Store the ear hook in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Ear Hook Feels Loose: Ensure the ear hook is fully twisted or pushed onto the hearing aid's connection point. If it continues to feel loose, inspect both the ear hook and the hearing aid's connection for damage. A worn ear hook may need replacement.
Increased Howling/Feedback: A loose or improperly seated ear hook can contribute to feedback. Re-seat the ear hook firmly. Also, ensure your ear mold or dome is properly inserted into your ear canal.
Discomfort: If the ear hook causes discomfort, ensure it is correctly positioned. While the FCS Ear Hook is designed for comfort, individual ear shapes vary. If discomfort persists, consult with your hearing aid professional.
