FAQs
Here's answers to the frequently asked questions about the HD 230 Digital Hearing Aid
How do I use the HD230?
How do I know if it will fit my ear?
The manufacturer of the HD230 took a large sample of men and women’s ear canals into account to try to find the best average fitting, suitable for as many people as possible. We cant give a guaranteed 100% fit result for all ear canals, but that’s why our 30 day return period allows for a trial in your own ear, in the comfort of your own home.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If an evaluation by a hearing professional indicates that you have hearing loss in both ears, and especially where the degree of loss is similar, two hearing aids are usually recommended.
While it may be tempting to try to limit the cost by going with a single hearing aid, wearing just one hearing aid may not give you maximum benefit in some difficult listening situations.
Should I get one or two?
If you have a copy of a hearing test available you can send it to us and we can confirm if the HD230 can cover your hearing loss. If you order without providing a hearing test result, you will be trying out its standard settings, which cater for mild to moderate, mainly high frequency hearing loss.
Free fine tuning is also available for the life of the product if needed.

How much will it cost to run the HD230?
The following items will need to be replaced on the HD230:
- Battery: budget 6 batteries per month (6 batteries in a pack).
- Dome: if you choose to use a dome it will need changing every 2-3 months on average.
- Wax guard: varies greatly person to person - average change once every 3 weeks (5 Wax guards in a pack).
How do I turn the HD230 on/off?
No on/off switch, just insert battery, close/open battery door
How do I change the volume?
Use the small push button next to the battery door. The HD230 always starts up in setting 1 - the softest volume. Press the button down hard for at least 1 second once to change to setting 2. (You will hear 2 beeps). Press again once for setting 3 - the loudest option. To have this further adjusted, we can do a free fine tuning for you.
