Hearing Expectations
Set Appropriate Expectations
It is important that you have the right expectations
regarding your hearing aids. Hearing aids will give you
better hearing, but they are not a cure for hearing loss.
People whose expectations are too high ("I thought
they would make my hearing normal") are likely to be
disappointed and may give up.
Hearing Aids Can:
• Help you hear and understand better in most
situations.
• Allow you to participate more in group situations
and meetings.
Hearing Aids Cannot:
• Give you normal hearing.
Hearing Aids May Not:
• Let you hear very soft sounds.
• Block ALL background noises–especially in
noisy groups. Even people without hearing loss
may have difficulty hearing in the presence of
background noise.

BTE USER GUIDE
Be Patient
Unlike eyeglasses, which correct your vision as soon
as you first put them on, hearing aids need some time
for proper adjustment. It may take several weeks or
months to completely adjust to your hearing aids, so try
to be patient. During the first week or so, try different
listening situations, such as one-on-one conversations
with family and friends and conversations with two
or three people at home or in quiet settings. Also, try
having conversations in noisier places like parties,
restaurants, meetings, and outdoors. Do not forget
that some situations are simply too noisy in general—
even for people without hearing loss. So, do not get
discouraged.
Consistent use of your hearing aid is strongly
recommended. In most cases, infrequent use does not
allow you to obtain the full benefit from your aid.
The use of a hearing aid is only a part of total hearing
rehabilitation, and may need to be supplemented by
auditory training and instruction in lip reading.

Turning Your Hearing Aid On and Off
If your hearing aid has a volume control, slowly rotate it
upward to turn it on. You will feel a click as the hearing
aid turns on. Continue to rotate the wheel up until
the volume is at a comfortable level. To turn off your
hearing aid, rotate the volume control wheel down until
it clicks off.
If your hearing aid does not have a volume control,
open the battery door slightly to turn it off. Fully close
the door to turn the device back on.
Your hearing aid may be programmed to alert you with
SmartTones™ when it turns on or off. Your hearing
healthcare provider will tell you if this feature is
enabled. Your hearing aid may also have a "power on"
delay. This allows you to insert the aid before it is fully
active.

Putting On Your BTE
Start with the BTE hearing aid and earmold for your
left ear. If you have a volume control, rotate the volume
control wheel down until it clicks off.
Connect the earmold to the hearing aid by pushing the
hearing aid's ear hook into the tube on the earmold.
Once the two are
connected, hold the
earmold with your
thumb and first
finger. Gently guide it
into your ear canal.
Gently pulling down
on your ear lobe with
your other hand may help. A
slight twist may be needed to fit the
earmold in your ear.
When the earmold is in your ear, place the hearing aid
behind the top part of your ear. Do the same thing with
the right hearing aid and earmold.
Turn your hearing aid on.
