4. Adjusting the Modes and Channels

The hearing aid has 3 different frequency modes and 4 channels:

1. Basic mode (non-noise reduction): Amplifies all ambient sounds. Suitable for normal discourse.
2. Mid-frequency mode: Provides simple noise reduction. Suitable for quiet environments.
3. High-frequency mode: Enhanced noise reduction. Suitable for noisy environments.
4. Low-frequency mode: Best sound quality and comfort. Suitable for listening to music.

To switch between modes, press the "M" button on the hearing aid. The number of beeps corresponds to the mode number (e.g., two beeps for mid-frequency mode).

5. Troubleshooting Tips

• If you experience loud screeching sounds, ensure the earplug is properly inserted and fills the ear canal completely.
• Do not touch the small loudspeaker during use, as it may cause noise.
• Choose the correct earplug size to avoid gaps that can cause noise.
• Allow time to adjust to the hearing aid, starting with the low-frequency mode and gradually trying other modes in different environments.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the hearing aid produce loud screeching sounds?

Loud screeching sounds occur when the earplug is not properly inserted, causing amplified sound to leak and be re-amplified by the microphone. Ensure the earplug is correctly inserted and fills the ear canal completely.

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

The hearing aid can be used for up to 80 hours on a full charge, which takes 3-4 hours.

Can I wear the hearing aid while exercising?

Yes, the hearing aid is made of nano materials that can prevent sweat and can be worn during exercise.

How do I know which mode to use?

Start with the low-frequency mode and gradually try other modes in different environments until you find the most comfortable experience.

What should I do if I have issues with the hearing aid?

Contact the manufacturer for assistance if you experience any issues with the hearing aid.

Q: How does one change modes to reduce background noises such as in a noisy restaurant or store?
A: There are 2 ways to adjust your hearing aids. The first control is on the top, which is a dial that is numbered 1-4, with 1 being the lowest and 4 being the highest volume. When you find the number setting you are comfortable with, you can fine-tune it with the button in the middle. As you push the button, the sound will continue to get louder, beeping at each level until it beeps 4 times, at which point it goes back to the minimum level of sound.

Q: Is this price for one or two devices?
A: It is for a pair of hearing aids. My husband said they are awesome and work better than the $400 set he had before.

Q: Can I download a brochure?
A: I don't think so about a brochure. I do have those hearing aids, and they are really nice. I usually keep mine on number two, and it's plenty loud for me. The charger is also good to have.

Q: Why not wear it too long in a day and take it off and rest every 30 minutes?
A: It is recommended not to wear them continuously for too long a day. Take them off and rest every 30 minutes to avoid discomfort.

Q: Is it a Lithium battery?
A: Yes, it is a lithium-ion battery that is rechargeable.

Q: Do these have Bluetooth?
A: No, these hearing aids do not have Bluetooth connectivity.

Q: How do they work with a cell phone to ear?
A: There may be a high-pitched noise whenever you have them up against your phone; however, on speaker (as in not against the aid), there will be no noise.

Q: How is it charged? What kind of charger and plugging in is required? For instance, is it a USB, and if so, which USB?
A: It is charged with a USB cord to a special plug.
