Putting Your Hearing Aids On Your Ears - Unitron Quantum Guide

Putting your hearing aids on your ears

Your behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids may be
color-coded with a small dot on the battery
door:
red = right ear; blue = left ear.
BTEs with earmolds
1. Hold the earmold between
your thumb and index
finger. The opening should
be pointing in towards your
ear canal with the BTE
resting upwards over the top of your ear.
2. Carefully insert the
earmold in your ear. You
may need to twist it slightly
to the back. The earmold
should fit into your ear
snugly and comfortably.
Pulling down and back on your earlobe may
help you insert the earmold into your ear
canal more easily.

3. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.
BTEs with slim tubes
1. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear. The slim
tube should lie flush against
your head and not stick out.
2. Hold the slim tube where it
attaches to the dome and
gently push the dome into
your ear canal.
3. Place the retention piece in
your ear so it rests at the
bottom of the opening of
your ear canal.
