Welcome

Thank you for choosing Miracle-Ear®hearing aids to

accompany you through everyday life. Like anything

new, it may take you a little time to become familiar with

them.

This guide, along with support from your Hearing Care

Specialist, will help you understand the advantages and

greater quality of life your hearing aids offer.

To receive the most beneﬁt from your hearing aids, it is

recommended that you wear them every day, all day.

This will help you get adjusted to them.

CAUTION

It is important to read this user manual and the

safety manual thoroughly and completely. Follow

the safety information to avoid damage or injury.

Your hearing aids

This user manual describes optional features that

your hearing aids may or may not have.

Ask your Hearing Care Specialist to indicate the

features that are valid for your hearing aids.

Hearing aid type

Your hearing aids are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)

model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and

connected to the instrument via a receiver cable. The

instruments are not intended for children under the

age of 3 years or persons with a developmental age of

under 3 years.

The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological

features and synchronization between your two hearing

aids.

Your hearing aids 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

Getting to know your hearing aids

It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your

new hearing aids. With the hearing aids in your hand

try using the controls and note their location on the

hearing aids. This will make it easier for you to feel and

press the controls while wearing the hearing aids.

If you have problems pressing the controls of your

hearing aids while wearing them, you can use a

remote control to control your instruments. With a

dedicated smartphone app you have even more

control options.
