Overview of your hearing instrument

There are different styles of ITEs available. The

diagrams below identify some of the components on

your hearing instruments. Have your hearing

healthcare professional place a check beside the

diagram that best describes your ITE style. Because

each instrument is custom-designed and molded to fit

an individual ear, the physical appearance and exact

positioning on your hearing instruments may vary

slightly from those shown.

2. Move your jaw up and down or apply pressure to

the back of your ear to help loosen the instrument.

Note: Do ot use the volume co trol, program

butto or the battery door to remove your heari g

devices.

It may take some time for you to fully adjust to your

new hearing instruments. In the beginning, do not feel

as though you need to wear them for longer than is

comfortable. Depending on your previous experience

with hearing instruments, increase wearing time

gradually until you have fully adjusted to them.

Eventually, you should wear your Shine hearing

instruments all day every day.

Please consult your hearing healthcare professional

regarding any adjustments you may require to ensure

that you are happy with your hearing instrument. For

instance, pitch and loudness of the beeps can be

adjusted or turned off entirely. Also note that this is a

general guide and your hearing healthcare

professional may have enabled or disengaged certain

features depending on your requirements.

Inserting and removing your hearing

instruments

Your hearing instruments are color-coded red for the

right ear and blue for the left ear. The color is indicated

either on the shell or on a label on the hearing device.

Battery information

Low battery warning

Two long beeps indicate the hearing device battery is

low. After the low battery warning, you may

experience some reduction in sound quality. This is

normal and can be remedied by inserting fresh

batteries into the hearing devices.

If you are not able to hear the low battery warning,

your hearing healthcare professional can change the

pitch or loudness of the low battery warning. If you

prefer, it can be turned off entirely.

Push button

Your hearing instrument may be equipped with a push

button which has been set for switching between

programs or adjusting your volume.

Program co trol

If you have an active push button program control,

each time you push the button, you will move to a

new program.

Your hearing instruments beep to indicate which

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

beeps for program 2, etc.).

Caring for batteries

• Always discard batteries in a safe and

environmentally friendly way.

• To prolong battery life, remember to turn your

hearing instruments off when not in use.

• Remove the batteries and keep the battery door

open while hearing instruments are not in use. This

will allow internal moisture to evaporate.

Operating instructions

Your hearing instrument may come with 2 controls

that allow for further adjustment.

Vo ume contro

If the rotary dial or scroll wheel has been configured

as a volume control, you can adjust the loudness of

your hearing instruments by rotating the rotary dial

slowly forward towards your nose or the scroll wheel

slowly upward towards the ceiling to increase the

volume or slowly backward away from your nose or

the scroll wheel slowly downward towards the floor to

decrease the volume.

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.

Volume setti g Beep

Ideal volume level 1 beep

Maximum volume level 2 beeps

Minimum volume level 2 beeps

Program 1 (e.g. listening in quiet) 1 beep

Program 2 (e.g. group/party noise) 2 beeps

Program 3 (e.g. telephone) 3 beeps

1110

Consult your hearing healthcare professional if you

experience difficulties using your hearing instruments

on the phone.

Caring for your hearing instruments

• Open the battery door when not in use.

• Always remove your hearing instruments when

using hair care products. The hearing instruments

can become clogged and cease to function

properly.

• Do not wear your hearing devices in the bath or

shower or immerse them in water.

• If your hearing instruments do become wet, do not

attempt to dry them in an oven or microwave. Do

not adjust any controls. Open the battery doors

immediately, and allow your hearing instruments

to dry naturally for 24 hours.

• Protect your hearing instruments from excessive

heat (hair dryer, vehicle glove box or dashboard).

• Regular use of a dehumidifier, such as a Dri-Aid kit,

can help prevent corrosion and prolong the life of

your hearing instruments.

• Do not drop your hearing instruments or knock

them against hard surfaces.

Volume co trol

If your push button has been configured as a volume

control, you can adjust the volume level by pushing

the button.

Your hearing healthcare professional can help you

identify your different push button volume control

settings.

Using the te ephone

As telephones do not all work the same, you may

experience different results from different phones. You

can use many phones by simply holding the receiver

to your ear, without the need to change to a dedicated

telephone program on your hearing instrument.

Remember to move the handset slightly up or back to

find the position that sounds best to you.

Depending on the phone type you use, your hearing

healthcare professional might have selected a

dedicated phone program on your Shine hearing

instruments.

Volume setti g Beeps

Ideal volume level 1 beep

Increased loudness 1 beep + 1 high-pitched beep

Decreased loudness 1 beep + 1 low-pitched beep

Warnings

Hearing instruments should only be used as

directed by your physician or hearing healthcare

professional.

Hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing

and will not prevent or improve a hearing

impairment resulting from organic conditions.

Do not use your hearing instruments in explosion

hazard areas.

Allergic reactions to hearing instruments are unlikely.

However, if you experience itching, redness,

soreness, inflammation or a burning sensation in or

around your ears, inform your hearing healthcare

professional and contact your physician.

In the unlikely case that any parts remain in the ear

canal after the removal of the hearing instrument,

contact a physician immediately.

Remove your hearing instruments for CT and MRI

scans or for other electromagnetic procedures.

Special care should be exercised in wearing hearing

instruments when maximum sound pressure levels

exceed 132 decibels. There may be a risk of

impairing your remaining hearing. Speak with your

hearing healthcare professional to ensure the

maximum output of your hearing instruments is

suitable for your particular hearing loss.

C eaning your hearing instruments

Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your hearing

instruments are free of ear wax is an important step in

your daily cleaning and maintenance routine.

• Using the brush that was provided with your

hearing instruments, clean ear wax from your

hearing instruments everyday.

• Never use alcohol to clean your hearing instruments.

• Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.

Sticking household items into your hearing

instruments can seriously damage them.

• Talk to your hearing healthcare professional about

regular appointments to have the wax removed

from your hearing instruments.

Assistive istening devices

Listening in pub ic p aces

Shine’s telecoil can also help you listen

in public places equipped with telecoil

compatible assistive listening devices

such as a loop system. When you see

this symbol, it means that your hearing instrument is

compatible with that buildings loop system. Please

contact your hearing healthcare provider for more

information on loop systems.

Labe ing

For most ITE hearing instruments, the year of

manufacture is located above the serial number. The

first two digits indicate the year of manufacture.

Battery warnings

Never leave hearing instruments or batteries where

small children and pets can reach them.

Never put hearing instruments or batteries in your

mouth. If a hearing instrument or battery is

swallowed, call a physician immediately.

Precautions

The use of hearing instruments is only part of

hearing rehabilitation; auditory training and lip

reading instruction may be required as well.

In most cases, infrequent use of hearing

instruments does not provide full benefit. Once

you have become accustomed to your hearing

instruments, wear your hearing instruments

everyday all day.

Your hearing instruments use the most modern

components to provide the best possible sound

quality in every listening situation. However,

communication devices such as digital cell phones

can create interference (a buzzing sound) in

hearing instruments. If you experience interference

from a cell phone being used close by, you can

minimize this interference in a number of ways.

Switch your hearing instruments to another

program, turn your head in a different direction or

locate the cell phone and move away from it.
