Get Started with Your Signia Hearing Aid – A Simple Guide

Congratulations on your new Signia hearing aid! This guide will help you start using your device, care for it properly, and safeguard it for long-lasting performance.

1. Getting Started

Initial Fitting

Now that your audiologist has programmed the hearing aid to your hearing profile:

Make sure it fits snugly and comfortably in your ear.
Practice insertion and removal of the hearing aid in front of a mirror.

Powering On

For Rechargeable hearing aids

To turn on your Signia hearing aids, follow these simple steps:

For all Signia models, the power button is the lower volume button. Press and hold it for about 10 seconds.
Listen for a tone, which indicates that the hearing aids are powering on.
If you are unable to detect the switch on tone, you can also cup the hearing aids within your palm to hear the squealing sound of the hearing aid indicating that its on.

For battery hearing aids

To get your device ready for use, follow these simple steps:

Locate the designated battery compartment. Make sure you have the right size battery.
Remove the sticker from the battery and let it air a little. Zinc air battery needs to activate fully to work optimally.
Insert the battery into the compartment.
Close the compartment securely.

Once the battery is in place, your device will be switched on and ready to use!

2. Using Your Hearing Aid Daily

A common concept that we at Synva tell our customers is that, it takes up to 2-3 weeks for the acclimatization with the hearing aid. And this period is crucial for you to get well-adjusted with the new device. Thus, follow this plan to have a seamless transition into a world full of sounds.

Listening Experience

To ensure you get the most out of your hearing aids, remember to remove them only while sleeping and bathing. Gradually increase your wear time as follows:

Wear Time Schedule

First Week: Aim for a total of 4 hours of wear time. You can wear the aids for an hour, then take a 15-minute break before putting them back on. Focus on getting comfortable with putting them on and taking them off independently.
Second Week: Increase your wear time to 6 hours. Continue to take breaks as needed and get used to wearing the aids.
Third Week: Aim for up to 8 hours of wear time. You will begin to get comfortable inside the house, in outside environment, in multi-speaker environment etc. with the aids.

Additional Tips

Start in quiet environments and gradually move to noisier places to build your comfort and confidence.
Expect to listen comfortably to phone calls and TV only after two weeks of consistent use.
Utilize the Signia app (available on Android/iOS) to adjust volume, switch programs, and balance sound. Follow these steps:
- Download the Signia app → Open the app → Pair your hearing aid → Adjust settings and volume as needed.

3. Care for Your Hearing Aid

Daily Cleaning

Wipe the earmold or ear tip gently with a soft cloth.
Use the cleaning tools provided to remove earwax from the receiver.

Battery or Charging

Place the hearing aid in the provided charging case overnight.
A full charge provides up to 26 hours of use.

Storage

Store the device in a dry case away from dust, heat, and humidity.

4. Safeguarding Your Hearing Aid

Expose to water (remove before showering, swimming).
