3. Setup
3.1. Device Activation
Before first use, the hearing aids must be activated. Follow these steps:
- Open the charging case and remove both hearing aids.
- Carefully remove the protective stickers from the charging contacts on each hearing aid.
- Place the hearing aids back into the charging case, ensuring they are properly seated.
- Connect the charging cable to the charging port of the case. When the three LED indicators on the case light up orange, the device has been successfully activated.
3.2. Wearing the Hearing Aids
Proper placement is crucial for comfort and sound quality. The devices are marked 'L' for left and 'R' for right.
- Select the appropriate eartip size and style for your ear canal. The package includes 12 eartips to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
- Gently insert the designated hearing aid into your ear canal. The pull line should face downwards.
- Ensure the eartip fits comfortably and securely in your ear canal without causing pain or discomfort. A proper fit prevents feedback (beeping sounds).
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Power On/Off
The hearing aids feature an automatic power-on/off function. They will automatically turn on when removed from the charging case and turn off when placed back in. There is an 8-second intelligent start-up delay to prevent sudden loud noises upon insertion.
For manual control, press and hold the tactile button on the hearing aid for 2 seconds to power on or off.
4.2. Volume Adjustment
The device has a single tactile button for volume control. Each short press of the button adjusts the volume in a cycle through 5 precise levels. You will hear a single 'beep' sound with each adjustment. Once the highest volume is reached, you will hear a continuous 'beep' sound.
4.3. Mode Switching
The hearing aids offer two listening modes to adapt to different environments:
- Quiet Mode: Ideal for daily use in calm environments.
- Noise Reduction Mode: Suitable for noisy environments like parties or restaurants, enhancing speech clarity by reducing background noise.
To switch between modes, quickly press the tactile button twice. Each time the program is switched, you will hear different prompt sounds to indicate the current program. A single 'beep' represents Quiet Mode, and two 'beeps' ('beep beep') represent Noise Reduction Mode.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Charging
The portable charging case provides convenient power for your hearing aids. A full charge of the case takes approximately 2 hours and delivers up to 48 hours of continuous operation for the hearing aids. For optimal battery health, it is recommended to recharge the charging case every 3 days.
5.2. Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain hygiene and performance. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove wax, dirt, or debris from the eartips and the hearing aids as needed.
6. Troubleshooting
- Beeping Sound: If you hear a long beeping sound while wearing the hearing aid, it may indicate that they are not fitted correctly. Try changing the eartips to find one that fits your ear canal best, and then refit them.
- Unclear or Distant Sounds: These hearing aids are designed for mild to moderate hearing needs. If sounds consistently feel unclear or distant, consulting a hearing specialist is recommended to optimize your hearing experience.
