Flexfit® Disposable Hearing Aids

• Do not open your foil pouch until you are ready to start using the hearing aid. Once exposed to air, the battery will begin to very gradually lose power.
• Make sure to turn the hearing aid off when not in use.
• Always keep your hearing aid in its supplied case when not in use, and store it at room temperature.
• Avoid long term exposure to dry environments (humidity levels below 25%) or very humid environments (humidity levels above 70%).
• Avoid long term exposure to excessive heat or high altitudes.
• When the battery runs out the product will stop working. Throw it out in a regular trash receptacle and begin using a new Songbird.

Wearing a Songbird Hearing Aid in each ear will help you hear sound from either side, increase the loudness of sounds, and give you a better ability to locate where sounds are occurring. The bulk of scientific studies on the topic also found that wearing the additional hearing aid also improves the ability to better understand speech.

• Do periodically wipe the tip with a dry or slightly moist (not wet) cloth.
• Do clean the tip by using the wax removal brush to gently sweep away any visible wax and debris.
• Do keep your hearing aid in the provided case when it is not in your ear, as this will keep the hearing aid dry and protected.
• Do turn your hearing aid off when not in use; this will extend the life of your battery.

• Don't allow any liquid to enter the hearing aid.
• Don't wear while swimming or bathing.
• Don't drop, throw or handle roughly.
• Don't apply hair spray while wearing your hearing aid.
• Don't leave your hearing aid where small children or pets can get it.
• Don't expose your hearing aid to excessive temperatures such as heat lamps, hair dryers, stoves, windowsills or your car's glove compartment.
• Don't try to open your hearing aid or attempt to make repairs, as this will cause serious damage.

• Periodically wipe the entire tip of the hearing aid with a dry tissue or slightly moist (not wet) cloth.
• Occasionally, wax and debris may accumulate in the tip of the hearing aid. To remove this wax, use the enclosed wax removal tool to gently scoop away anything you might see inside the tip after each use. You will see the wire loop go underneath the rubber tip-scrape out the wax, but do not push the wire loop all the way down.
• It is important to keep your ears clean to maximize the life of your Songbird. Earwax can clog up your hearing aid and cause it to not work properly. For best results, it may be beneficial to clean your ears with commercially available ear wash systems or visit your doctor for treatment.
• Never use instruments like cotton swabs, toothpicks, hairpins or the enclosed wax removal brush to remove wax from the ear canal.

If you have excessive earwax you should discontinue using the hearing aid and consult your physician.

1. Turn On and Set Volume Level
   Turn the hearing aid on to the desired volume by rotating the volume control up from the red line (Off) to 1, 2 or 3. The higher the number, the louder the hearing aid will be.
   
   Tip: If you are trying this for the first time, it is recommended that you start on the mid-range volume setting, 2, then adjust as needed.
2. Put the Body Behind Your Ear, Then Insert the Tip
   Place the body of the hearing aid behind your ear in a comfortable and discreet position, with the tip and cord hanging in front of your ear (A). Grasp the tip handle and slowly and gently push the tip into your ear canal as far as it will go (B).
3. Adjust the Cord Length (if needed)
   When the tip is fully , the cord should fit snuggly over your ear, from the top of the body to tip (as shown in the diagram).
   
   If the cord is too short to insert the tip into your ear, or too long and is not snug over the ear, take the hearing aid off (see Remove below) and adjust it by pulling the cord through the hearing aid body.
   
   Tip: If you hear a whistling sound (feedback), make sure the tip has been pushed into your ear canal as far as it will go or use your finger to reposition the tip in your ear. If it persists, lowering the volume can help eliminate the whistling.
4. Removing
   While the tip is in your ear, grasp the body and gently bring it up, forward and off of your ear (A). Then grasp the cord as close to the tip as possible and gently wiggle the tip out from your ear (B).
   
   Tip: For best results, it is recommended to use the same hand to remove the body and tip (as shown).
5. Turn Off
   Rotate the volume control down so that the red line is completely visible. As you do this, you will feel a slight 'click'.
   
   Important: If the red line is not fully visible, the hearing aid is not completely off and you may not get your expected battery life.
6. Remove Visible Earwax
   Gently remove any visible wax after each use with the provided wax removal brush.
   
   
7. Store
   Place the hearing aid(s) in the supplied carrying case, close the case and store at room temperature to help maximize the product life.
