Putting your hearing aids on your ears
Your hearing aids may be color-coded with a
small dot on the battery door: red = right ear;
blue = left ear.
Hearing aids with earmolds
1. Hold the earmold between
your thumb and index
finger, with the opening
facing toward your ear
canal and the hearing aid
resting above 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.
Gently pull down and back
on your earlobe to help
you insert the earmold into
your ear canal more easily.
3. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.

Hearing aids with domes

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.
