Getting the Most Out of Your 360™

Hearing Instruments

Adjusting to your new 360 hearing instruments will take

some time. Depending on your previous experience with

hearing instruments, you may notice some differences in

the way 360 sounds to you. The longer you wear these

hearing instruments, the quicker you will adjust to

everyday sounds around you. Your hearing healthcare

professional can assist you by fine-tuning your

instruments for optimal performance.

Practical Solutions to Everyday Problems

Congratulations on choosing your new 360™ BTE

(Behind-the-Ear) hearing instruments. For over 40 years,

Unitron Hearing has been committed to making life

better for people with hearing loss. This means a

commitment to developing high-quality hearing

solutions that incorporate special features to solve the

everyday problems and concerns you have with hearing

loss and hearing instruments.

360 is an innovative hearing instrument that delivers

exceptional sound quality, performance, and results.

Your 360 hearing instrument may include an automatic

program that reads your listening environment and

automatically determines a sound destination that is

most effective for optimal listening as your listening

needs change throughout the day. Additional manual

programs give you added flexibility to meet your

particular listening needs. 360’s sophisticated adaptive

features offer you the latest digital technology so your

hearing instruments will adapt, reducing the need for

manual adjustments by you.

Putting Your 360™Hearing Instruments on

Your Ears

Your BTE hearing instrument may be color-coded red for

your right ear and blue for your left ear. This color

indicator is located on the bottom of the battery door

with a small colored dot.

1. Carefully insert the earmold in your ear. The earmold

should fit into your ear snugly and comfortably.

2. Place the hearing instrument over the top of your ear.

3. Repeat steps 1-2 for your other ear if you wear two

hearing instruments.

Turning Your 360™Hearing Instruments On

and Off

Your hearing instruments have a three-position battery

door that acts as an off/on switch and that allows access

to the battery compartment.

To turn the hearing instrument on, close the battery door

fully. Ensure the battery door is completely closed.

Note: If the start up delay is activated, your

hearing instrument will not turn on for 10-15 seconds

after closing the battery door.

To turn the hearing instrument off, partially open the

battery door. This position also allows excess moisture

to vent away from the battery compartment.

To replace the hearing instrument battery, fully open the

battery door for access to the battery compartment.

on off open

Feedback-Free Listening

Your 360 hearing devices have an optional start up delay

that can be activated by your hearing healthcare

professional. If the start up delay is activated, your

hearing instruments will not turn on for 10-15 seconds

after the battery door is closed fully. The hearing

instruments return to the start up delay position each

time you turn your hearing instruments on. This allows

you to insert your hearing instruments without

experiencing whistling.

If you wear hearing instruments now, you may have

experienced whistling from your hearing instruments

when you talk, chew, use the telephone or hug

someone. 360’s feedback technology dramatically

reduces this uncomfortable whistling before you or

anyone else can perceive it.

Replacing the Battery

1. Gently swing out the battery door with your fingernail

(Figure 1).

2. Grasp the battery with your thumb and index finger

and remove.

3. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment

with the plus (+) sign on the battery facing the same

way as the plus (+) sign on the edge of the battery

door (Figures 2 and 3).

Low Battery Warning

When you hear two long beeps, your hearing devices are

warning you that their batteries are low. You will hear the

warning approximately every 30 minutes until you

change the batteries or the batteries die. After the first

warning, you may experience some reduction in sound

quality. This is normal and can be remedied by inserting

fresh batteries in the hearing devices. If you prefer, your

hearing healthcare professional can change the pitch

and loudness of the low battery beep or turn it off

entirely.

Caring for Batteries

• Always discard batteries carefully.

• To prolong battery life, remember to turn your hearing

devices off when not in use.

• Remove the batteries and keep the battery door open

while hearing devices are not in use. This will allow

internal moisture to evaporate.

Battery Warnings

• Never leave hearing devices or batteries where small

children and pets can reach them.

• Never put hearing devices or batteries in your mouth.

If a hearing device or battery is swallowed, call a

physician immediately.

4. Close the battery door. Press firmly on the battery

door to ensure that it closes completely (Figure 4).

Tamperproof Battery Compartment

Your hearing instrument may have a tamperproof battery

compartment.

1. Unlock the tamperproof battery

compartment by pulling the

white lever with your fingernail

and lift the lever up to release

the battery. Remove the battery.

2. Insert the new

battery into

the battery

compartment

with the plus (+) sign on the battery facing the same

way as the plus (+) sign on the edge of the battery

door. Lower the lever onto the battery and push it is

until it is locked and securely holds the battery tight.

3. Close the battery door.

professional can adjust the pitch and loudness of the

program beep or turn it off entirely.

Adjusting the Volume

The volume on your hearing instruments adjusts

automatically in response to the loud or quiet sounds

around you. Your hearing instruments are set to your

ideal volume by default. Your ideal volume is indicated

by 1 beep. If you have a volume control lever, you can

further adjust the volume. Before adjusting the volume

on your hearing instruments, secure the device on your

ear with your thumb and middle finger. Then using your

index finger, adjust the volume level with the volume

control lever.

Your 360 hearing instruments may also come with an

optional remote control which allows you to adjust your

volume levels. Ask your hearing healthcare professional

for more information on the remote control.

Volume Control

You can adjust the volume by pushing the volume

Operating Instructions

Changing Programs on Your 360™Hearing

Instruments

Your 360 hearing instruments may have an automatic

program and up to three additional manual programs.

360’s automatic program will satisfy most of your

listening needs by adjusting to different listening

environments without requiring manual adjustments.

The additional manual programs can be individually

tailored by your hearing healthcare professional to meet

your particular listening needs.

Your hearing instruments have a push button which has

been set for switching between programs. This push

button could also be disabled by your hearing

healthcare professional. If you have an active push

button program control, each time you push the button,

you will move to a new program.

Your 360 hearing instruments may also come with an

optional remote control which allows you to switch

between different listening programs. Ask your hearing

healthcare professional for more information on the

remote control.

Program Beeps

Your hearing devices beep to indicate which program

you are in (i.e. one beep for program 1, two beeps for

program 2, etc.) If you prefer, your hearing healthcare

Program 1 (e.g. Automatic Program) 1 beep

environment, the wind noise manager will not be active

and desirable sounds, such as speech, will once again

become louder.

Listening in Quiet and Noisy Environments

The 360 + hearing instruments have a directional

microphone system to meet your listening needs in

different environments. The directional system focuses

on sounds in front of you (i.e., speech) while reducing

sounds from the sides or behind you (i.e., noise). The

directional system can be set to track moving noise

sources and adapt to changing noise levels so that

background noise is reduced. Your hearing healthcare

professional can tell you how your directional system

has been customized for you and which listening

programs have the directional microphones activated.

In addition, 360 contains antiShock™technology that

identifies and minimizes sudden impulse sounds that

many hearing instrument wearers find irritatingly loud

such as slamming doors or clattering dishes. This

technology is designed to increase listening comfort in

adverse listening situations without impacting sound

quality or your ability to understand conversations.

Replacing the Microphone Protectors

Your 360 hearing devices have a shield to protect the

microphones from dirt and debris. Debris on the

microphone protector reduces the sound quality of the

instrument. You should have the microphone protectors

control lever up to increase the volume and pressing the

volume control lever down to decrease the volume. Note

that your volume control may be disabled by your

hearing healthcare professional and, therefore, could be

inactive.

As you change the volume level, your hearing

instruments will beep. Please refer to the chart below to

learn more about the different volume beeps.

Your hearing healthcare professional can help you

identify your different volume control settings. If you

prefer, your hearing healthcare professional can adjust

the pitch and loudness of the volume control beeps or

turn them off entirely.

Listening in Windy Environments

(Available on 360+ only)

360’s wind noise manager will engage automatically

based on whether wind conditions are moderate or high.

When the wind noise manager is engaged, sounds such

as speech, may become quieter because the wind noise

manager is working to reduce the loud noise produced

by wind. When you are no longer in a windy

coil varies among phone manufacturers, it may be

necessary to move the telephone receiver next to the

hearing instrument’s microphone for the best reception.

If the hearing instrument does not switch to the

telephone program automatically when the telephone

receiver is placed in proximity, the magnet for easy-t

hearing instruments should be attached to the telephone

receiver. The magnet is designed to strengthen the

magnetic field at the ear piece of hearing instrument

compatible telephones.

To affix the easy-t magnet:

1. Clean the telephone receiver.

2. Hold the magnet near the “listening end” of your

telephone receiver and release it (Figure 1). The

magnet will flip to the appropriate side and seek the

optimal position on the telephone receiver.

3. Place the double-sided tape in this optimal position

on the telephone receiver (Figure 2) and attach the

magnet to the tape (Figure 3).

approximately every three months to ensure optimal

sound quality.

Using 360™with the Telephone

360 has the ability, depending on hearing loss and vent

size to provide feedback-free phone use without

program changes. When the phone rings, pick up the

telephone and place it next to your hearing instrument’s

microphone. In some situations when using a cell phone,

you may experience digital interference that sounds like

static, buzzing or beeping. If you experience

interference, increase the distance between your hearing

instrument and the phone receiver.

Easy-t for the Telephone or Cell/Mobile Phone

360 comes equipped with easy-t (automatic telephone

switch) that can help you listen on the telephone. Easy-t

automatically switches your hearing instrument into a

telephone listening mode with hearing instrument

compatible phones. You will hear a short melody to

indicate you are in the telephone (easy-t) program. If

your phone is hearing instrument compatible, it will have

a magnetic coil and the easy-t will activate automatically

when the telephone is held to the ear. Once the

telephone is removed from the ear, the hearing

instrument will switch back to the normal listening

mode. Since the location and strength of the magnetic Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
