• When you raise the volume, you will hear a higher beep-tone for each step the volume is raised.
• When you lower the volume, you will hear a lower beep-tone for each step the volume is lowered.
• A steady tone will sound when the maximum or minimum volume is reached.

In the case of inner ear hearing aid, if you change the volume of the right hearing aid, then the volume in the left hearing aid will change automatically.

Using Remote Control

• You can press the key (-) to reduce the volume.

Because custom hearing aids like the Completely-In-Canal (CIC) and Invisible-In-Canal (IIC) rest deeper in the ear canal than other hearing aids, their receiver is closer to the eardrum. The proximity helps deliver superior sound quality with a lower overall volume.
