color-coded with a small dot on the battery door:
red = right ear; blue = left ear.
BTEs with earmolds
1. Hold the earmold between
your thumb and index finger.
The opening should be
pointing in towards your ear
canal with the BTE resting
upwards over the top of 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. Pulling down
and back on your earlobe may help you insert
the earmold into your ear canal more easily.
