Introduction
We would like to thank you for purchasing the
Panasonic Hearing Instrument.
The Panasonic Digital Hearing Instrument helps
optimize both intelligibility and comprehension for the
hearing impaired.
The type of hearing aid that will work best for you
depends on the type and severity of your hearing loss
and usage conditions. You will need to get a thorough
hearing evaluation and have your ears examined by
an ear specialist or an audiologist. They will suggest
the most appropriate type of hearing aid for you
depending on the type and degree of hearing loss. In
order to get the right hearing aid that will be tailored
to meet your individual needs and lifestyle, be sure to
have your hearing aid properly fitted and fine-tuned
to your ears, as an improper fit can cause comfort and
flexibility issues, and even further damage to the ear.

It is important to keep in mind that hearing aids will
not restore normal hearing, nor will they halt the
progression of hearing loss. They are intended to
compensate for impaired hearing. They should be used
only for the purpose they are designed and directed.
Carefully read the instructions and make sure you fully
understand the operation of the hearing aid before
using it.
