Step 1: Prepare Your Hearing Aid
Ensure your hearing aid is turned off before beginning the installation process.
Step 2: Remove Existing Ear Hook (if applicable)
Gently twist and pull the old ear hook from the hearing aid body. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the hearing aid or the connection point.
Step 3: Attach the New Ear Hook
Align the base of the FCS Ear Hook with the connection point on your hearing aid. Push firmly until it clicks securely into place. Ensure a snug fit to prevent dislodgement and optimize sound quality.
