Etymotic The BEAN® Quiet Sound Amplifier® - Manual (Page 3)

INTENDED USE
Etymotic’s QSA devices have high-frequency emphasis for soft sounds,
so the faint sounds of speech can be heard more easily – especially if the
speaker is farther away than desirable or speaks very softly. The most
common example is someone asking a question from another room.
Soft speech can also be heard in a house of worship, classroom, courtroom,
lecture hall, theatre, or TV dialog. For many users, QSA devices are like
reading glasses: they are used only part of the time.
Adjusting to QSA Devices
• Most QSA users find the eartips comfortable to wear for many hours
right away. Others do not.
• Take your time.
• You may want to wear QSA devices for short periods until you can wear
them for as long as you wish.
• If the eartips that come on QSA devices are not comfortable or do not seal
well in the ear, try other eartip styles supplied to determine which size
is right for you.
