4.1 Initial Charging

4.2 Selecting Ear Tips

Choose the silicone ear tips (S, M, L) that provide the most comfortable and secure fit in your ear canal. A proper fit is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent whistling.

4.3 First Use and Whistling Prevention

It is recommended to turn on your hearing aids after you have properly inserted them into your ear canals. This effectively prevents whistling. If the hearing aids are turned on without being worn correctly, the microphone may pick up sound from the speaker, causing a shrill whistling noise. Ensure the earplugs are fully inserted to isolate sound.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

The hearing aids automatically power on when removed from the charging case and power off when placed back into the case and the lid is closed.

Use the tactile volume buttons on the hearing aid unit to increase or decrease the sound level. The default mode is 55 dB, but you can adjust it to a comfortable level. The volume supports up to 121 dB.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential for optimal performance and hygiene. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the hearing aids daily. Periodically clean the ear tips and ensure no wax buildup. The charging case's UV equipment helps protect ear health by sanitizing the hearing aids during charging.

6.2 Storage

When not in use, store the hearing aids in their charging case. This protects them from dust, moisture, and physical damage, while also keeping them charged and sanitized.
