Ear Piece Insertion Technique

If you are struggling to insert your ear piece then please feel free to visit one of our Resource Centres or clinics. To begin the insertion, you need to know which hearing aid is for the left ear and for the right. To do this, open the battery door to reveal a coloured marker. If the marker is blue, it is for the left ear. If the marker is red, it is for the right ear.
