Charging Your Hearing Aids
Your hearing aid uses a rechargeable battery as its power source.
To charge the battery:
- Plug your charger into an outlet.
- Place your hearing aids in the charger with the charging contacts touching the charging posts.
- Your hearing aids will turn off automatically and begin to charge.
- The front of the charger is equipped with two LED indicators to provide information about hearing aid charging. The front LED indicators will glow green to indicate successful charging.
- When the hearing aids are fully charged (approx 3.5 hrs charge time), the front LED indicators will be solid green.
- Your hearing aids will automatically power on when removed from the charger.
Battery Indicator
You will hear an indicator through your hearing aid when battery voltage is low and the battery needs charging.
Hearing Aid Charger Parts
- Cleaning Brush
- Charging Posts
- Hearing Aid Charging LEDs
- Onboard Battery LEDs
- Power Cord Port
On-board Battery:
- The back of the charger is equipped with four LED indicators to provide information about the status of the on-board battery. The on-board battery allows charging of the hearing aids up to three times while the charger is away from a power source.
- When away from a power source, the back LED indicators will be solid green indicating the amount of charge available for the on-board battery. The LED indicators will turn off after 10 seconds to preserve power.
- One blinking LED on the back of the charger indicates that the on-board battery is low and the charger should be connected to a power source.
- When plugged into a power source, the back LED indicators will glow green to indicate successful on-board battery charging.
Hearing Aid Care
Cleaning Your Hearing Aids

Cleaning Your Charger

- Do not use water, solvents or cleaning fluids to clean the charging posts.
- Keep lid closed as much as possible to avoid dust and debris build-up.
