1 more step left….

You need to wear it all the time…

“Is it important to hear the subtle sounds eg. Air

conditioner, footsteps, people moving around..?”

“I tried using hearing aid, but, all I hear is NOISES”

Did you know “the majority of hearing is done in the

brains”…

If an aid wearer only wears it occasionally, the brain

has no idea or rather has forgotten what to do with

these newly produced noises & stimuli but the

constant use helps to eliminate this over stimulation

effect and sounds become natural and not annoying

anymore.

Important Instructions for the users

Wear ALL THE TIME except sleeping, bathing,

doing your hairs, getting in a swimming pool, etc.

Preferably remove the batteries from the aid

before sleeping ( night hours)…saves your battery

and the machine too.

Clean with a neat linen once in a week.

Calibrate your machine if you become

uncomfortable with the aid.

Every machine has an expiry date, respect this ;

and get a new one when re required.

Hearing empowers us; enriches our lives….it helps us to socialize, work efficiently, interact and communicate.

It helps us to LIVE and participate fully in Life.

Thanks …a lot…..
