3. Setup
3.1 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the hearing aids and the charging case. Place the hearing aids into the charging case. Connect the Type-C data cable to the charging case and a power source. The charging case can provide 70-80 hours of working power after a 3-hour charge. The hearing aids themselves can operate for 16-18 hours on a full charge.

3.2 Choosing and Wearing Earplugs
Selecting the correct earplug size is crucial for comfort and optimal sound quality, and to prevent whistling sounds.
- Choose the Right Earplug: Try all available earplug sizes (single-layer and double-layer) to find the most comfortable fit for your ear canal. The correct size will create a good seal without causing discomfort and will minimize feedback (whistling).
- Identify Left and Right: The hearing aids are marked with 'L' for the left ear and 'R' for the right ear.
- Insert the Hearing Aid: Gently insert the hearing aid into your ear, ensuring the earplug fits snugly. The microphone on the hearing aid must be facing upwards for proper sound reception.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Power On/Off
To power on or off the hearing aid, press and hold the button on the device for more than 3 seconds.
4.2 Volume Adjustment
The hearing aids feature three volume levels optimized for different environments:
- Level 1: Suitable for indoor environments.
- Level 2: Suitable for outdoor environments.
- Level 3: Suitable for noisy environments.
To adjust the volume, double-click the button on the hearing aid twice. A single beep indicates low volume, two beeps indicate medium volume, and three beeps indicate high volume. The device remembers your last volume setting.

4.3 Adapting to Your Hearing Aids
Adjusting to hearing aids takes time and patience. Follow these phases for a gradual adaptation:
- Phase 1 (Weeks 1-2): Wear the hearing aids for 1-3 hours a day. Stay in a quiet room and focus on listening to and distinguishing various sounds.
- Phase 2 (Weeks 3-4): Gradually increase wear time to 3-6 hours a day. Begin watching TV, chatting with friends and family, and adapting to more complex sound environments.
- Phase 3 (Week 5 onwards): Wear the hearing aids all day, except when sleeping or bathing. Venture outdoors to experience natural environments. Consistent use will gradually improve your hearing perception.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene:
- Use the provided cleaning brush to gently remove earwax or debris from the earplugs and sound holes daily.
- Wipe the surface of the hearing aids and charging case with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use water or cleaning solutions directly on the hearing aids.
5.2 Storage
When not in use, store the hearing aids in their charging case. This protects them from dust, moisture, and physical damage, and keeps them charged for your next use.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your NVBOTY M3111 hearing aids, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Whistling/Feedback Sound | Improper earplug fit; earwax buildup. | Ensure the earplug is correctly sized and snugly fitted. Clean earwax from the ear canal and hearing aid. |
| No Sound or Low Volume | Hearing aid is off; low battery; clogged sound hole; incorrect volume setting. | Press and hold for 3 seconds to power on. Charge the hearing aid. Clean the sound hole. Adjust volume using the double-click function. |
| Hearing Aid Not Charging | Poor contact in charging case; charging cable issue. | Ensure hearing aids are properly seated in the charging case. Check the Type-C cable and power adapter. |
| Difficulty Adjusting Volume | Incorrect button press. | Ensure you are double-clicking the button quickly and precisely. |
| Need to Reset One Side | Temporary software glitch. | Place the hearing aid back into the charging case, close the lid, and then remove it after a few seconds. This often performs a soft reset. |
