Frequently Asked Questions - Pockettio SIEMENS

How do I adjust the MPO trimmer?

Set the MPO trimmer to the indicated position according to your hearing loss at 1 kHz. For best speech intelligibility, set the MPO to a high but comfortable position and ensure the volume control is at maximum (6) during adjustment.

What does the NH control do?

The NH control reduces the gain for low-frequency sounds. Turn it counter-clockwise to reduce low frequencies. Set the trimmer according to your hearing loss at 1 kHz (e.g., 90 dB spl).

What does the NL control do?

The NL control reduces the gain for high-frequency sounds. Set the trimmer according to your hearing loss at 1 kHz (e.g., 95 dB spl).

How many programs does the Pockettio have?

The hearing aid has three programs: P1, P2, and P3. Refer to the tips table in the manual for which program to use for specific sound issues (e.g., P1 for muffled sounds, P2 for unclear voices, P3 for unnatural sounds).

How can I fix feedback or whistling?

If the instrument whistles, try reducing the volume or adjusting the MPO trimmer. The tips table suggests modifications for feedback, but no specific program is listed.

What should I do if sounds are muffled?

Use program P1 or P2, as indicated in the tips table for sounds that are muffled like in a tunnel.

How should I set the volume control?

Turn the volume control to a high but comfortable position. When adjusting the MPO trimmer, set the volume control to maximum (6).

How can I improve speech understanding in noisy surroundings?

Use program P2 according to the tips table for speech that is difficult to understand in noisy surroundings.

What if background noise is too loud?

Use program P2 and turn the volume down if necessary, as per the tips table.

What if my own voice sounds too loud?

The tips table does not specify a program for this. Try reducing the volume or adjusting the MPO trimmer to a lower setting.
