Activating batteries
Your batteries come in a dial package. Open the flap on the back of the
package and turn the dial until you see a battery, now turn the pack over and
let the battery fall into your hand. Remove the plastic tab to activate the
battery. The battery is now ready to insert into your hearing aid.
Inserting batteries
Open the battery door on your hearing aid and notice that it has a groove.
Place the grooved side of the battery into the grooved part of the battery
door. It should fit perfectly. You know you have it in correctly when you
can close the door.
If you cannot close the door, the battery is in upside down. Simply turn the
battery over. When properly in place, the door will close easily.
When you are not using your HearPod, we suggest that you open the battery
door to extend the battery life. By doing this, most batteries will last more than
a week but we recommend you change the battery each week to ensure you
When you replace a battery we
recommend discarding the old
battery immediately to prevent
mistaking the old battery as the
new one.
HearPod User Manual Important FDA Notice for Prospective Hearing Aid Users
FDA Warning to Hearing Aid Dispensers
Good health practice requires that a person
with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation
by a licensed physician (preferably a
physician who specializes in diseases of the
ear) before purchasing a hearing aid.
Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases
of the ear are often referred to as otolaryn-
gologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists.
The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure
that all medically treatable conditions that may
affect hearing are identified and treated before
the hearing aid is purchased.
Following the medical evaluation, the
physician will give you a written statement that
states that your hearing loss has been
medically evaluated and that you may be
considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The
physician will refer you to an audiologist or a
hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a
hearing aid evaluation.
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will
conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess
your ability to hear with and without a hearing
aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the
audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a
hearing aid to your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to
adapt to amplification, you should inquire
about the availability of a trial-rental or
purchase-option program. Many hearing aid
dispensers now offer programs that permit
you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time
for a nominal fee after which you may decide
if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to
those individuals who have obtained a medical
evaluation from a licensed physician. Federal
law permits a fully informed adult to
sign a waiver statement declining the medical
evaluation for religious or personal beliefs
that preclude consultation with a physician.
The exercise of such a waiver is not in your
best health interest and its use is strongly
discouraged.
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical
evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should
be directed to an audiologist for evaluation
and rehabilitation since hearing loss may
cause problems in language development and
the educational and social growth of a child.
An audiologist is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and
rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
A hearing aid dispenser should advise a
prospective hearing aid user to consult
promptly with a licensed physician (preferably
an ear specialist) before dispensing a hearing
aid if the hearing aid dispenser determines
through inquiry, actual observation, or review
of any other available information concerning
the prospective user, that the prospective user
has any of the following conditions: Visible
congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear,
history of active drainage from the ear within
the previous 90 days, history of sudden or
rapidly progressive hearing loss within the
previous 90 days, acute or chronic dizziness,
unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent
onset within the previous 90 days, audiomet-
ric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15
decibels at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and
2,000 Hz, visible evidence of significant
cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in
the ear canal, pain or discomfort in the ear.
Special care should be exercised in selecting
and fitting a hearing aid whose maximum
sound pressure level exceeds 132 decibels
because there may be risk of impairing the
remaining hearing of the hearing aid user.
(This provision is required only for those
hearing aids with a maximum sound pressure
capability greater than 132 decibels (dB).)

are never caught in a situation where you want to hear but your battery goes
out. We have provided 52 batteries, one for each week, so that you can enjoy
great hearing continuously.
When you replace a battery we recommend discarding the old battery
immediately to prevent mistaking the old battery as the new one.
Caution: Always keep old and new batteries out of reach of children and animals.
Your HearPod will tell you when to change a battery by giving you a beeping
signal. When you hear the signal the battery will soon go out, so be prepared
by carrying extra batteries with you.
If you find that your battery life is less than a week, please be sure you are
opening the battery door when you are not using your HearPod.
Inserting HearPod into your ear
Wearing your InvisiPod is as easy as putting the silicone tip in your ear
canal and looping the tubing over and behind your ear. The hearing aid
should rest behind your ear lobe.
Wearing your MicroPod, MiniPod and EzPod is so easy. Close the battery
door and insert into your ear canal with the pull handle on the bottom.
Your Hearpod is shipped with several sizes of silicone fitting tips. Try the
different sizes and styles until you find the one that best fits your ear canal
and provides you with the most natural sound.
Note: There is a Red dot for all right ear HearPods and a Blue dot for all
left ear HearPods.
CAUTION: Always keep old and
new batteries out of reach of
children and animals.
