Situation: Your day-to-day routine. This program is activated by default when you turn on your hearing aids.

Hear in Noise

Step 6 of 7

Identifying the Left from the Right

To avoid grabbing the wrong hearing aid by mistake, the left one is marked with a blue indicator at the bottom of the hearing aid.

Your right hearing aid is marked with a red indicator at the top of the hearing aid. You'll also see the color indicators at the end of each receiver.

Why is this important?

If you have two hearing aids, they may be tuned differently to give you the best sound amplification according to the specific hearing loss in each ear. If it's in the wrong ear it will feel uncomfortable and/or fall out.
