FAQs
1. Does Whisper work for all types of hearing loss?
The Whisper Hearing System is for adults with mild to severe hearing loss. It is not indicated for profound hearing loss, unilateral hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, single-sided deafness or for use with children.

1. How do you use the Whisper Hearing System?
For instructions for using the Whisper Hearing System, please refer to our owner’s manual.
Each Whisper Hearing System comes with two earpieces that are powered by a 675 battery. Before inserting the battery into the earpiece, remove the protective film and allow the battery to sit for 3-5 minutes. This will extend the battery life. Ten carefully pull on the tab at the bottom of the battery tray so it opens. Place a 675 hearing aid battery into the tray with its positive side facing up. The earpiece will automatically turn on once the tray is closed. You should turn the earpiece off when not in use. The battery is not rechargeable and will need to be replaced every few days.
The right earpiece has a red tip, and the left, a blue tip. To put the hearing aids on, gently insert the domed tip at the end of the speaker wire into your ear canal, wrapping the remainder of the wire around the top of your ear so that the earpiece body sits comfortably behind your ear. The earpieces will also announce which side they are as they are turned on.
The Whisper Brain can be turned on and off by pressing and holding the Settings button.
To adjust the settings, press the Settings button on the Whisper Brain. The Dynamic setting will automatically adjust sound wherever you are. The Custom setting can be configured to optimize for different situations. Your hearing care professional will need to first set up the Custom setting or you can adjust this in the Whisper app.
With the Whisper Brain turned on, press the Volume buttons to change the volume. Every time you increase or decrease the volume, a short sound will play to confirm the level. The Brain has volume control from 1-10 in ~2 dB increments. You can also adjust the volume using the Whisper app.
Have your hearing care professional show you how to safely maintain your system. You can clean the Whisper earpieces with the cleaning brush provided with your Whisper Hearing System. You can also use a tissue to wipe down the earpieces and domes.
Promptly replace domes every 3 months or if discolored or clogged. If you are having trouble, please call your hearing care professional.
