The sound quality may change after the first warning, this is normal and can be
remedied by replacing with a fresh battery.
To prevent dead battery corrosion inside your hearing instrument ALWAYS
remove the battery if your instrument is not in use for long period of time.
Battery care
The performance of the hearing instrument greatly depends on the quality
of the battery.
1) It is important to use high quality batteries since it helps prevent instrument
from periodic malfunction.
2) Batteries shall be well kept in its original seal and package.
3) Never leave an old or dead battery in the hearing instrument. Leaving a dead
battery inside the instrument for an extended period of time can cause battery
leakage which can be damaging to the instrument.
Whistling is common in small amplifier and is known as 'feedback'.
It is caused by amplified sound leaving the ear and receiving back into
the microphone and being re-amplified. The following tips will help reduce the
effect of feedback/whistle noise:
1. Reduce the volume.
Keep volume at lower setting before inserting the instrument in your ear.
2. Secure instrument fitted position.
Feedback/whistling noise will stop when the instrument is best fitted/sealed
in the ear with the best fitted dome size.
3. Clear the ear canal of wax or debris.
Seek your hearing care provider for excessive wax built-up.
4. Replace the dome.
Select a better fitted size.
