How to fit and remove IN THE EAR HEARING AIDS

HOW TO INSERT YOUR CUSTOM HEARING AID:
•Look for the coloured serial number mark on the shell.
Red is for Right ear (Blue is left).
•Hold aid with that serial number facing forward, visible to someone looking at you.
•Hold with your thumb on the underside and index finger on top.
•Do not twist your hand or attempt to ‘screw’ the aid into your ear.
•Gently ease the aid into your ear, with the serial number always facing forward.
•Use the tip of your index finger to settle it into position (preferably with
your palm facing forward). You will be able to feel the battery lid and
any buttons/ controls.
•The aid will probably whistle if you touch it or cup your hand over your
ear. The louder the volume, the more likely. This is normal.

HOW TO REMOVE:
Use your thumb only to lever the aid upwards. As it loosens, grab hold
of it. If this is difficult, try pushing your ear up from underneath the
hearing aid – it will pop out.
