Your hearing improvement with a hearing system depends on the fit of the hearing instruments, the type and degree of hearing loss, and proper diagnostic testing. Of course, a hearing system cannot restore normal hearing, and not everyone will benefit equally. More than 80 percent of individuals with a hearing loss have a hearing loss in both ears. [. . . ] If the battery does not come out, lightly tap the system or push the battery out with a pencil as shown.

Change the batteries when any of the following occur: - volume becomes softer or weak - you hear a battery signal beep - you see empty battery status on the display of your ePocket. Return them to your hearing instrument specialist for environmentally correct disposal. 7 Inserting and removing your CENTRA Life Make sure that your hearing instrument is turned off.
