Features
The HD250 is an instant-fit device, developed to sit snugly within the average adult sized ear canal. If however, you experience discomfort or unwanted feedback, it comes supplied with 3 different silicone fitting tips (or domes) for an improved fit.
The body (shell) of the HD250 is beige coloured. Right sided HD250s have red printing on the shell. Left sided HD250s have blue printing.
A thin, short pull cord attached to the outer side of the hearing aid makes removing the HD250 a simple task.
The HD250 is a mid-range digital hearing aid that offers excellent sound quality. Suitable for those with a mild to moderate hearing loss, the HD250 analyses incoming sound in 12 frequency areas (bands) to reproduce a clear, amplified result.
Tri-layed noise reduction and dynamic speech enhancement algorithms are constantly active, producing as comfortable a listening experience as possible. An advanced feedback management system also works to reduce the likelihood of any unwanted whistling.
If you have sent us your audiogram in advance, the HD250 will be programmed with 4 volume settings based on your hearing loss profile.
- Setting 1 is set 2dB softer than the software’s recommendation for the audiogram to give a softer option on startup.
- Setting 2 is as per audiogram recommendation.
- Setting 3 is 2-3dB louder than setting 2.
- Setting 4 is 2-3dB louder than setting 3.
If you do not have an audiogram; our standard setting, suitable for a mild to moderate, high-frequency hearing loss is used to create the 4 settings. High tones are boosted up more than lower bass tones.

FAQs
Here's answers to the frequently asked questions about the HD 250 Digital Hearing Aid
How do I use the HD250?
How do I know if it will fit my ear?
The manufacturer of the HD250 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 HD250 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 HD250?
The following items will need to be replaced on the HD250:
- 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 (8 Wax guards in a pack)
How do I turn the HD250 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 HD250 always starts up in setting 1 - the softest volume. Press the button down once to change to setting 2. (You will hear 2 beeps). Press again once for setting 3, and once again for setting 4 - the loudest option. To have this further adjusted, we can do a free fine tuning for you.
How do I clean the hearing aid?
Not quite right?
