What to know about Phonak Virto I-10 NW O

What does in-the-ear (ITE) mean?

In an in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid, all the parts are inside a single shell that sits in your ear. There is no housing or wire behind the ear. This makes it easier to wear with glasses, a face mask or a headscarf. The shell is usually made from an impression of your ear canal, so the fit is different for every person.

How does the fitting work?

First, our hearing specialist carries out your hearing test and examines your ear. If Phonak Virto I-10 NW O is found suitable for you, an impression of your ear is taken. When the hearing aid is ready, it is placed in your ear, the fit is checked and it is programmed on a computer for your hearing loss. In the first days, sounds may seem unfamiliar or loud. This is a normal part of getting used to it. At a follow-up appointment within a few weeks, we listen to your experience and adjust the settings again.

Daily care

• Wipe the hearing aid every evening with a soft, dry cloth.
• Make sure your hands are dry and clean before putting the hearing aid in.
• Check the wax guard at the sound outlet regularly. If the guard is blocked, the sound becomes weaker or cuts out.
• At night, keep the hearing aid in its case in a dry, cool place.
• Take the hearing aid out before a shower, swimming or using a hair dryer.
• Do not leave it in a car in the sun or on a radiator.

Who may it suit?

People who do not want to wear anything behind the ear, and who can put in and take out a small device comfortably with their fingers, may lean towards in-the-ear models. For people with a very narrow ear canal or frequent ear infections, a different design may be more suitable. We make the final decision together with you, based on the test and examination results. If you are unsure, you can hold and compare different designs at our centre.
