2. Selecting and Attaching Ear Domes

Choose the ear dome size that provides the most comfortable and secure fit in your ear canal. A proper fit is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent feedback.

• Gently pull off the pre-attached ear dome from the hearing aid.
• Select a new ear dome size from the provided assortment.
• Carefully push the new ear dome onto the sound outlet of the hearing aid until it is securely attached.

3. Wearing the Hearing Aids

Insert the hearing aids into your ears. The discreet design allows them to sit comfortably within the ear canal.

1. Identify the Left (L) and Right (R) hearing aids.
2. Gently insert the ear dome end of the hearing aid into your ear canal.
3. Adjust the hearing aid until it sits comfortably and securely in your ear. The pull string should be accessible for easy removal.

Operating Instructions

Turning On/Off

• To Turn On: The hearing aids automatically turn on when removed from the charging case.
• To Turn Off: Place the hearing aids back into the charging case. They will automatically turn off and begin charging.

Volume Control and Program Switching

The LINNER Saturn hearing aids feature a single multi-function button on each device for easy adjustments.

• Volume Adjustment: Short press the button on either hearing aid to cycle through volume levels. Each press will increase the volume. Once the maximum volume is reached, the next press will return to the lowest volume.
• Program Switching: Long press (hold for 2-3 seconds) the button on either hearing aid to switch between different listening programs (e.g., normal, noisy environment). The device may provide an audible cue to indicate the program change.

Note: Both hearing aids will synchronize their volume and program settings when adjusted.

Daily Use Tips

• Gradual Adaptation: If you are new to hearing aids, start by wearing them for a few hours a day and gradually increase wear time as you adapt to the new sounds.
• Feedback Prevention: Ensure the ear domes are properly seated in your ear canal to minimize whistling or feedback. If feedback occurs, try a different size ear dome or re-insert the hearing aid.
• Environmental Awareness: Be aware of your surroundings, especially when crossing streets or in noisy environments, as hearing aids amplify all sounds.

Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions

Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and hygiene.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the hearing aids with a soft, dry cloth. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any earwax or debris from the ear dome and microphone port.
• Ear Dome Cleaning/Replacement: Ear domes can be removed and cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching. Replace ear domes regularly (e.g., every 1-3 months) or if they become damaged.
• Charging Case: Wipe the charging case with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the charging contacts clean and free of debris.
• Do NOT use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the device.
• Do NOT immerse the hearing aids or charging case in water.

Storage

When not in use, store your LINNER Saturn hearing aids in their charging case. This protects them from damage and keeps them charged for your next use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
