How to solve some
failures yourself
In selecting TRIANO hearing instruments you have chosen
extremely dependable devices. However, should a fault
occur, it can usually be corrected quickly.
If the instrument whistles
Test the instrument yourself
by closing the sound outlet
opening with your fingertip.
If the whistling disappears,
the instrument is in order.
Check that the ear mould sits
properly in your ear. Also
test the hearing tube for
leaks.
If the whistling noise is still
audible, only your hearing
instrument specialist can
provide assistance.
If the hearing instrument is too quiet
Most likely, you need to insert a new battery. If it is
still too quiet, clean the ear mould and hearing tube,
following the directions in the chapter “Notes for
cleaning and care“. If neither a new battery nor cleaning
helps, as a precaution you should ask your hearing
instrument specialist to test your hearing again.
If the hearing instrument does not work at all
Is the instrument turned on?
Is the battery compartment completely closed?
Is the battery inserted correctly?
Could it be that the battery is dead?
If none of these hints help, you should visit your
hearing instrument specialist.

Hearing training made easy
Hearing instruments reproduce an abundance of sounds
which frequently haven’t been experienced by you for many
years. Every person reacts differently the first time he or she
wears a hearing instrument. The familiarization phase therefore
differs from person to person. There are people who are
quite happy to wear their hearing instruments the whole day
right from the start. Others will regard it as a foreign body
at first. You’ll notice that even after a relatively short time the
positive new hearing experience prevails and you’ll find your
hearing instruments to be something quite normal.
Hearing training helps you here. You’ll become more and
more perfect, and naturally surer, step by step.
2nd step
Experience sounds outdoors
First choose quiet surroundings for this. For instance,
while taking a stroll you’ll discover all sorts of sounds in
the silence of the forest.
1st step
Discover simple sound in your direct surroundings
