Welcome
We’re thrilled to help you enjoy more
of everything you love again.
Please read these instructions first to tap
into the full potential of your device.
Thank you for choosing Enlite®
WARNING: If you are younger than 18, do not use this.
You should talk to a doctor, preferably an ear-nose-
throat doctor (an ENT), because your condition needs
specialized care. Over-the-counter hearing aids are
only for users who are age 18 or older.
This OTC hearing aid is for users who are 18 and older.
People who are younger than 18 with hearing loss should
see a doctor, preferably an ENT, because they may need
medical testing and management. Hearing loss can
affect speech and learning, so professional fitting and
continuing care are also important.
WARNING: When to See a Doctor
If you have any of the problems listed below, please
see a doctor, preferably an ear-nose-throat doctor
(an ENT).
• Your ear has a birth defect or an unusual shape.
Your ear was injured or deformed in an accident.
• You saw blood, puss, or fluid coming out of your
ear in the past 6 months.
• Your ear feels painful or uncomfortable.
• You have a lot of ear wax, or you think something
could be in your ear.
• You get really dizzy or have a feeling of spinning
or swaying (called vertigo).
• Your hearing changed suddenly in the past 6
months.
• Your hearing changes: it gets worse then gets
better again.
• You have worse hearing in one ear.
• You hear ringing or buzzing in only one ear.
WARNING: This hearing aid should not cause pain
when inserting it.
Remove this device from your ear if it causes
pain or discomfort when you insert or place it.
To try again, make sure to follow the instructions.
If you feel pain or discomfort again, contact the
manufacturer. If your pain or discomfort doesn’t go
away, contact your hearing healthcare professional.
You can also report this to FDA as an adverse event
according to the instructions that appear later.
Caution: This is not hearing protection.
You should remove this device if you experience
overly loud sounds, whether short or long-lasting.
If you’re in a loud place, you should use the right
kind of hearing protection instead of wearing this
device. In general, if you would use ear plugs in a
loud place, you should remove this device and use
ear plugs.
Caution: The sound output should not be
uncomfortable or painful.
You should turn down the volume or remove the
device if the sound output is uncomfortably loud or
painful. If you consistently need to turn the volume
down, you may need to further adjust your device.
Caution: You might need medical help if a piece
gets stuck in your ear.
If any part of your hearing aid, like the ear tip, gets
stuck in your ear, and you can’t easily remove it
with your fingers, get medical help as soon as you
can. You should not try to use tweezers or cotton
swabs because they can push the part farther
into your ear, injuring your eardrum or ear canal,
possibly seriously.
Note: If you remain concerned, consult a
professional.
If you try this device and continue to struggle
with or remain concerned about your hearing,
you should consult with a hearing healthcare
professional.
Note: What you might expect when you start
using a hearing aid.
A hearing aid can benefit many people with hearing
loss. However, you should know it will not restore
normal hearing, and you may still have some
difficulty hearing over noise. Further, a hearing aid
will not prevent or improve a medical condition
that causes hearing loss.
People who start using hearing aids sometimes
need a few weeks to get used to them. Similarly,
many people find that training or counseling can
help them get more out of their devices.
If you have hearing loss in both ears, you might get
more out of using hearing aids in both, especially

Note: Tell FDA about injuries, malfunctions,
or other adverse events.
To report a problem involving your hearing aid,
you should submit information to FDA as soon
as possible after the problem. FDA calls them
“adverse events,” and they might include: skin
irritation in your ear, injury from the device (like
cuts or scratches, or burns from an overheated
battery), pieces of the device getting stuck in
your ear, suddenly worsening hearing loss
from using the device, etc.
Instructions for reporting are available at
https//www. fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch,
or call 1–800-FDA-1088. You can also download
a form to mail to FDA.
Hard Case
Enlite®Hearing Aids have high-frequency emphasis for
soft sounds, so the faint sounds of speech can be heard
more easily – especially if the speaker is farther away
than desirable or speaks very softly. The most common
example is someone asking a question from another
room. Soft speech can also be heard in a house of
worship, classroom, courtroom, lecture hall, theatre, or
TV dialog. For many users, hearing aid devices are like
reading glasses: they are used only part of the time
.
Adjusting to hearing aids:
• Most hearing aid users find the ear tips comfortable
to wear for many hours right away. Others do not.
• Take your time.
•
You may want to wear your hearing aids for short
periods until you can wear them for as long as you wish.
•
If the ear tips that come on hearing aids are not
comfortable or do not seal well in the ear, try other ear
tip styles supplied to determine which size is right for you.

Quick Start Guide
• Open the battery door — located on
the bottom of the device.
• Remove the yellow tab from battery.
• Place the battery in the door and close.
• Turn on by closing the battery door.
• Turn off by opening the battery door.
Note: Door will not close if the battery is inserted
incorrectly.
Note: Battery does not need to be removed if the
door is open far enough to turn off the device.
NOTE: Ear tips are reusable. Replace 3-flange ear tips
every 60–90 days and foam ear tips regularly.
NOTE: Feedback (whistling) may be heard while
inserting the device until it is fully sealed in the ear.
It is perfectly natural. It will go away when the ear tip
is sealed in the ear.
TIP: Some people can flip the switch when the device is
in the ear, but it is not unusual that you will have to take
it out of your ear to change the switch position.
Refer to page 20 for complete instructions and page24
for troubleshooting information.
The ear tip that is most comfortable and seals the
ear is the best choice.
To properly insert:
Pull ear up and out. Using a twisting motion,
position the device horizontally in the ear with
the switch toward the back of the ear.
LOW SETTING
Flip the switch toward the front of the device.
HIGH SETTING
Flip the switch toward the back of the device for
more sound.

The batteries must be inserted correctly or the hearing
aids will not work.
1. The battery compartment is located on the underside
of the hearing aids.
2. Open the battery door.
3. Remove the yellow tab
from the battery.
4. Insert the battery with
the flat side facing up.
5. Do not force the battery
into the door.
Note: The door will not close if the
battery is not inserted correctly.
Zinc-Air Batteries
Hearing aids use commonly available #10 zinc-air Hearing
aid batteries. They are easy to find in pharmacies, online
and other retail locations.
Estimated Battery Life:
9 days continuous operation
2 weeks (approx) if turned off when not in use
• Once the tab is removed, zinc-air batteries may
self-discharge in about 4 weeks whether used or not.
• The discharge rate varies with temperature and humidity.
• It is sometimes possible to prolong the life of a battery
by replacing the tab over the air holes, but results vary.
• Zinc-air batteries do not have to be recycled.
• Zinc-air batteries can be disposed in the trash.
• Zinc-air batteries are not rechargeable.

A feature called LOBAT™ alerts you when the battery
is at the end of its life.
• A slow, quiet ticking sound gradually becomes faster
and louder, like the sound of a motorboat.
• After the warning sound first becomes audible, it may
be a few hours before the battery goes dead.
• Hearing aid performance will not change while LOBAT
is sounding.
Ear Tips
Replacing the Ear Tips
No two ears are exactly alike. The ear tip that is most
comfortable is the best choice, but it must seal well to
prevent feedback (whistling).
When changing the ear tips, make sure the ear tip fits
securely on the stem of the device.
Choosing the Correct Ear Tip
Low Battery Warning
Triple Flange Triple Flange
with Stem
Foam
Correct Incorrect
Note: Improper replacement of ear tips could
result in the ear tip coming off of the hearing
aid and being lodged in the ear canal.
You may change the tip for a more comfortable fit.
REMOVAL: To remove the ear tips,
gently pull the tips off of the stem
of the device.
REPLACE: To replace the ear tips,
gently push the new tip unto the
stem of the device.
• Make sure the ear tip is clean.
• Pull the ear up and out while inserting.
• Twist and push gently until the ear tip
seals in the ear canal.
• When using 3-flange ear tips,
moistening may ease insertion.
• When using foam ear tips, roll down
or compress the foam ear tip before
inserting. Hold the ear tip in place for
about 5 seconds while foam expands
to create a tight seal in the ear canal.
• Remove hearing aids
with a slow twisting motion.
• After removal, place your
hearing aids in a protective case.
