First time users of Hearing Device
The first time you use your new Apex some sounds may seem very loud. You may hear the
faucet drip, beeps from electronics, crumpling paper; sounds you may have not heard in a
long time. This can be overwhelming at first. Don’t worry, your brain will adjust to these new
sounds, it just takes a little time.
We recommend starting slowly. Eventually your brain will learn to “turn down” some sounds,
like crumpling paper, while “turning up” the sounds you want to hear, like conversations with
loved ones. This process can take up to 21 days to become fully adjusted to your new hearing
device.
Start by first wearing them for 20-30 minutes at a time in a more private / quiet setting.
Avoid noisy areas like restaurants at first. Gradually start wearing your new hearing device for
longer time periods and in dierent settings until you are able to wear them all day.
In a few weeks, your brain will become “re-programmed”, conversations will be easier to hear
and follow, and you will find yourself more relaxed and confident in social situations.
Things to Avoid
Avoid physical shock, such as dropping on
the floor
Store in a cool dry place with battery door
completely open when not in use
Do not get your Otofonix Apex wet
•
•
•
Do not use hair spray or a hair dryer while
wearing your Apex
Do not expose your Apex to excessive heat
or moisture (use a hearing aid dehumidifier
each night if you live in a humid climate)
•

The Apex is preprogrammed to Program 1, Volume Level 4
When program/volume has not been changed for 10 minutes, that will become the
new memory setting when turned o and on again.
