2.2   Balance Loudness 

This is the first and most important thing you should do. 

Balance Loudness

 tells your hearing aids what level of 

loudness you find most balanced and comfortable. This 

should only be done when settings up your hearing aids for 

the first time.

Simply select a hearing aid to calibrate (left or right), press 
the "

Play

" arrow in the control frame and a series of five 

chimes will play through your hearing aid. Your job is to 
adjust the sliders until they sound about equal in loudness. 
This will be unique to you.

Once you’re happy, press the “

Save

” button (at the bottom 

of the screen) to instantly update the hearing aid and 
preserve your adjustments. Repeat for the other side.

Hearing aids will be mute during this process. If you need 
to momentarily hear what is going on around you, click the 
"

Ready to Play

" heading at the top of this screen to unmute 

the hearing aids. This will also disable playback of the 
chimes. When you’re ready to continue, click the "

Listening 

to Surroundings

" heading to mute the hearing aids again 

and enable playback of the chimes.
