3. Setup
To ensure proper function and comfort, follow these steps to attach the Click Sleeve to your hearing aid:
- Identify the correct size: Ensure you are using the appropriate size (Extra Small in this case) for your ear canal. Incorrect sizing can affect sound quality and comfort.
- Align the sleeve: Hold the hearing aid receiver (speaker) and the Click Sleeve. Align the opening of the sleeve with the receiver.
- Secure attachment: Gently push the Click Sleeve onto the receiver until it is firmly seated and interlocked. Ensure it is fully attached to prevent accidental detachment during use.
- Check for security: Lightly tug on the sleeve to confirm it is securely fastened to the hearing aid.
Note: If you experience difficulty or uncertainty, consult your hearing care professional.
4. Operating Instructions
Once the Click Sleeve is securely attached to your hearing aid, you can insert the hearing aid into your ear.
- Insertion: Gently guide the hearing aid with the attached Click Sleeve into your ear canal until it feels comfortable and secure. The vented design allows for natural sound perception and reduces occlusion.
- Comfort Check: Ensure there is no discomfort or pressure. The sleeve should sit snugly without causing irritation.
- Removal: To remove, gently pull the hearing aid out of your ear. Avoid pulling directly on the Click Sleeve to prevent damage or detachment.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your Click Sleeves is crucial for optimal performance and hygiene.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the Click Sleeve with a clean, dry cloth daily to remove any earwax or debris. Do not use water or cleaning solutions unless specifically recommended by your hearing care professional.
- Replacement: It is recommended to replace Click Sleeves monthly, or sooner if they appear damaged, discolored, or if your hearing aid's performance declines. Worn sleeves can affect sound quality and comfort.
- Wax Guard Compatibility: For maximum speech clarity, replace Click Sleeves together with Connexx miniReceiver Wax Guards as part of your regular maintenance schedule.
- Storage: Store unused Click Sleeves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
