DAILY USE

To assure comfort and ease of use of your hearing aids, they are

equipped with an onboard control feature or can be controlled with

an app. The Miracle-Ear®App is available on your app store.

Removing a hearing aid:

• Push lightly on the back of your ear to loosen

the hearing aid.

• Grip the hearing aid in the earcanal with

two ﬁngers and pull it carefully out.

Clean and dry your hearing aids

after usage.

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Insert the ear piece carefully and

not too deeply into the ear.

It may be helpful to insert the right hearing

aid with the right hand and the left hearing aid

with the left hand.

If you have trouble inserting the earpiece, use the other

hand to gently pull your earlobe downwards. This opens

the ear canal and eases insertion.

Inserting and removing the hearing aids

Your hearing aids have been ﬁne-tuned for your right and left ear.

The labeling on the hearing aids indicates the side:

X “R”=rightear

X “L”= leftear

Inserting a hearing aid:

Carefully push the hearing aid

into the earcanal.

• Twist it slightly until it sits well.

• Open and close your mouth

to avoid accumulation of air in

the earcanal.

Charging tips

How often should I charge my hearing aids?

We recommend charging your hearing aids every night, even if

the power cell is not empty. This ensures you’ll be fully charged at

the start of each day.

How long does charging take?

A full charging cycle takes about 4 hours (+/- 10 min)

After 30 minutes, it is possible to use your hearing aids up to

6 hours.

Charging times vary due to use and age of power cell.

What if I forget to charge my hearing aids?

Your hearing aids will automatically switch off when the power cell

is empty. Charge the hearing aids as soon as possible.

Hearing aids which have not been charged for over 6 months may

be damaged due to unrecoverable deep-discharge of the power

cell. This will require repair or replacement.

Can I use another cord or charger block if I lose mine?

Only use charger cables and blocks provided with your charger.

Hearing aids may not charge properly, and charger may

malfunction if the correct charger components aren’t used.

Contact your Hearing Care Provider to order replacement parts.
