Inserting and removing–CIC hearing instrument
WARNING
Never pull on the battery compartment door to remove the hearing
instrument, as this could cause damage to your hearing instrument.
Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index finger. With
the face of the hearing instrument toward the outside, paying special
attention to the removal strand to indicate the bottom, place the hearing
instrument in your ear canal. Gently work it into its proper position by
slightly twisting until it is firmly seated.
For CICs, the instrument should sit deep in your ear canal. Do not force it
deeper than it will comfortably fit.
Fig. 5: Proper location of the CIC hearing instrument
The nylon strand has been provided to allow removal of the CIC hearing
instrument. Firmly grasp its bead and slowly, gently pull the hearing
instrument out of your ear. It often helps to push lightly on the back
of your ear to loosen the instrument. Using the removal strand, the
hearing instrument should pull out easily. If you experience difficulty
removing the instrument and it remains lodged in your ear, contact your
Audiologist or Hearing Care Provider immediately.
CAUTION! Do not insert any item into your ear to remove the hearing
instrument. Do not pull on the battery compartment door
to remove the instrument, as this could cause damage to
the instrument.
