Welcome
Thank you for choosing Miracle-Ear®hearing aids to
accompany you through everyday life. Like anything
new, it may take you a little time to become familiar
with them.
This guide, along with support from your Hearing Care
Specialist, will help you understand the advantages and
greater quality of life your hearing aids offer.
To receive the most benefit from your hearing aids, it is
recommended that you wear them every day, all day.
This will help you get adjusted to them.
CAUTION
It is important to read this user manual and the
safety manual thoroughly and completely. Follow
the safety information to avoid damage or injury.
Your hearing aids
This user manual describes optional features that
your hearing aids may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Specialist to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing aids.

Your hearing aids are BTE (Behind-The-Ear) models. A
tube delivers the sound from the hearing aid into the
ear. The instruments are not intended for children under
the age of 3 years or persons with a developmental age
of under 3 years.
The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological
features and synchronization between your two hearing
aids.
Your hearing aids feature Bluetooth®low energy*
technology allowing for easy data exchange with your
smartphone, and for seamless audio streaming with
your iPhone.

Getting to know your hearing aids
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your
new hearing aids. With the hearing aids in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
hearing aids. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing aids.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing aids while wearing them, you can use a
remote control to control your hearing aids. With
a dedicated smartphone app you have additional
control options.
Components and names
Your hearing aids are either attached to an earhook
and a custom-made ear piece or to a standard tube
(OpenTube) and a standard ear piece (OpenTip).
