2. Selecting and Inserting Earplugs

Choosing the correct earplug size is crucial for comfort and to prevent sound feedback (whistling).

1. Experiment with the different sizes of earplugs provided to find the best fit for your ear canal. The earplug should create a snug seal without causing discomfort.
2. Gently insert the hearing aid into your ear canal, ensuring the earplug is properly seated to isolate sound.
3. Position the main body of the hearing aid behind your ear.
4. Once properly inserted, turn on the hearing aid. Turning it on before insertion may cause whistling.

Operation

Power On/Off

To turn on the hearing aids, ensure they are properly inserted in your ears, then press and hold the power button (refer to Figure 4 for button location) until you hear an audible confirmation. To turn off, repeat the process.

Volume Adjustment

Sound Modes

The NELPO BH-R55 offers 6 different sound modes to adapt to various listening environments. Press the program button (refer to Figure 4) to cycle through the available modes. Each mode is optimized for specific situations, such as quiet conversations, noisy environments, or music listening.

1. Ensure the hearing aids are charged and turned on.
2. On your smartphone or other Bluetooth device, go to the Bluetooth settings.
3. Press and hold the Bluetooth button on one of the hearing aids for approximately 8 seconds until white and blue lights flash alternately, indicating pairing mode.

Maintenance

UV Cleaning Function

The charging case for your NELPO BH-R55 hearing aids includes a built-in UV lamp for sterilization. This feature helps to keep your hearing aids hygienic by eliminating bacteria and viruses.

• Simply place the hearing aids in the charging case and close the lid.
• The UV cleaning cycle will automatically activate, providing a convenient way to maintain cleanliness.

Troubleshooting & Precautions

To ensure the best experience and avoid common issues, please observe the following:

• Preventing Whistling: Always insert the hearing aids correctly into your ear canals, ensuring a proper seal before turning them on. If the hearing aids are turned on without being worn properly, the microphone may pick up sound and send it directly to the speaker, causing a high-pitched squeal.
• Volume Adjustment: The default mode is 55 decibels, which may be too loud for some users. Adjust the volume and sound mode to a comfortable level using the physical control buttons.
• Battery Life: If the hearing aids do not last for the advertised duration, ensure they are fully charged for 1.5 hours. Environmental factors and usage patterns can affect battery performance.
• Bluetooth Connectivity: If you experience issues with Bluetooth pairing, ensure the hearing aids are in pairing mode (flashing white and blue lights) and that your device's Bluetooth is enabled and searching for new devices.
