5. Whistling Sound
Also known as acoustic feedback, it is a normal phenomenon in the work of hearing aids. The higher the power and frequency, the more likely it is to occur. If it happens, the following methods should be used to improve:

If the hearing aid display light is not on pull out the USB cable and reconnect it to make the hearing aid display light bright to ensure good contact. The red light indicates that the power is not full and the green light indicates that the power is full.

6.2 Wired charging cautions:

a. The first charge should ensure sufficient charging time (not affected by the charging indicator) and should be guaranteed to reach 10-12 hours of charging time.
b. If the hearing aid is not used for a long time, the battery will be seriously deficient due to self-discharge. For this case, the battery should be charged and the charging time should reach 10-12 hours. Even if the charging indicator turns green the charging should not stop (guaranteed to reach 10-12 hours).
c. Battery over-discharge hazard:
