Inserting and removing your ACURIS BTE
Make sure that your hearing instrument is turned off. Hold the earmold between your thumb and index finger and insert it carefully into your ear canal. You may find it helpful to pull your ear slightly upward or to the back. Gently work the earmold into its proper position by adjusting it until it is firmly seated in your ear. Once inserted, you should feel whether the earmold is placed correctly. Next, place your hearing instru- ment behind your ear and turn it on.
Tip:
Practice inserting and removing your hearing instrument correctly. An easy way to practice is to sit down at a table. Place a mirror in front of you and prop your elbows on the table so you can guide your hands easily and safely. This will help you stay relaxed and comfortable while you practice.
