  3. Ensure the ear tip is securely fastened before inserting the device into your ear.

3. Operating Instructions

The AXON K-88 features a button control for volume adjustment.

  1. Before inserting the hearing aid, set the volume to the lowest comfortable level.
  2. Once inserted, gradually increase the volume using the control button until the desired listening level is achieved. Avoid excessively high volumes to prevent discomfort or potential hearing damage.

3.3 Wearing the Hearing Aid

  1. With the volume set low and the appropriate ear tip attached, gently insert the hearing aid into your ear canal.
  2. Ensure it sits comfortably and securely. Do not force the device into your ear.
  3. Adjust the volume as needed once the device is properly seated.

4. Maintenance
