How to Wear and Operate RIC Hearing Aids: A Professional Guide
Whether you are a first-time user or a global distributor, understanding the proper handling of digital hearing aids is crucial for sound quality and device longevity. This guide covers everything from battery installation to advanced program settings for RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) models.
1. Hearing Aid Battery Management
Cadenza devices typically utilize size 312 zinc-air batteries. Proper activation is key to performance.
Activation: Remove the protective tab and let the battery sit for at least 1 minute. This allows air to activate the zinc-air components.
Insertion: Open the battery door gently. Use the magnetic tip of a cleaning brush to hold the positive (+) side and insert it. Avoid direct skin contact to prevent oil buildup.
Power Control: Close the door to power ON; open it to power OFF.
2. How to Put On RIC Hearing Aids
As a leading hearing aid manufacturer, Cadenza designs products for an "Instant Fit" experience.
Eartip Assembly: Select the correct dome size and push it firmly onto the sound tube connector.
Insertion: Hold the base of the sound tube and gently guide the eartip into the ear canal.
Positioning: Pull your auricle backward and upward with your free hand, rotating the eartip until it sits comfortably.
Final Placement: Hang the hearing aid body securely behind the ear, close to the head.
3. Operating the Multi-function Switch
Our proprietary chip algorithm includes a memory function that saves your last settings.
Volume Control: A short press on the "UP" or "DOWN" button adjusts levels. A single beep confirms each step, while three beeps indicate maximum or minimum volume.
Program Switch: A long press (≥2s) cycles through pre-set listening environments (e.g., quiet mode, noisy mode).
4. Safe Removal and Maintenance
To remove the device, lift the body from behind the ear first. Hold the bottom of the sound tube—not the wire—and gently pull the eartip out of the canal.
