Each hearing aid device has its own unique mode to be turned on and turned off. Although the action of turning on and off a device is quite simple, it is necessary to perform it in the correct manner so the device can be kept in good condition over time.
Before turning on your hearing aid, make sure to read the instruction manual carefully and follow any recommendations provided by your hearing specialist. Pay special attention the first time you power on the device, as following the directions correctly is essential for proper use.
Locate the battery slot and insert the battery correctly. It is crucial to place the battery in the right position; only then will the hearing aid turn on. After inserting the battery, close the battery door securely. Once the door is closed, the device should start working immediately.
After a few seconds of inserting the battery, you can place the hearing aid in your ear. At first, you may notice a whistling sound, which is normal. The whistling should stop once the device is correctly positioned inside your ear.
If your hearing aid does not turn on, check for these common issues:
Once these minor problems are resolved, your hearing aid should operate correctly.
To turn off the hearing aid, all you have to do is open the battery slot completely. Keep in mind that it is not necessary to keep the hearing aid on all the time, every now and then it is good to take it off and turn it off to preserve its battery life.
As with all batteries, hearing aid batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and sunlight. Humidity can affect battery life which is why it is best not to keep them in the bathroom.
