YOUR HEARING AIDS

Instrument type

Miracle-EarMINI™ITC, ITE, CIC, IIC Hearing Aids

Your hearing aids are customized models that have been

individually manufactured based on the anatomy of your ears.

They are worn directly in the ear, either in the bowl of the ear

or deep inside the ear canal.

The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological features

and synchronization between your two hearing aids.

Your hearing aids may feature Bluetooth®low energy*technology

allowing for easy data exchange with your smartphone, and for

seamless audio streaming with your iPhone.**

*The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and any use of such

marks by the legal manufacturer of this product is under licenses. Other trademarks and trade

names are those of their respective owners.

Getting to know your hearing aids

We recommend you familiarize yourself with your new hearing aids.

Try using the hearing aid controls in hand to make it easier to use the

controls while wearing them.

Trouble pressing the controls of your hearing aids?
