With practice, you should get used to putting the OWLs in, taking them out, changing batteries and cleaning them. Sometimes a friend or a family member can assist you with it, if needed. Watch our videos, it will help you understand how to use your OWLs.

1) First thing you want to do is take out the domes that are provided with the device, and place the middle size onto the clear tubing that is attached to the device (the device is the part that has the words “OWL” written on it) 2) After the dome it is securely placed on the tubing, place the device behind your ear so that the tubing is lined up with your ear canal (refer to the instructional video) and insert it into your canal. If it feels comfortable, then you have found the correct size dome. If it is too loose, take it out of your ear and try the next size up of the dome. 3) Once you have found the correct dome size, insert a battery into your device and close the door of the device 4) Place the device back into your ear canal 5) You should now hear the device working

The whistling sound that you hear is called “feedback”. Feedback is most often the result of either covering the microphone with your hand (for example, when you touch the device while it’s in your ear) or turning the volume too high up. Feedback might also occur if the OWL is not inserted properly in your ear canal. Make sure that it fits tightly in your ear. Once the device is properly inserted in the ear canal the feedback will stop. Don’t forget to refer to our videos on how to insert the OWL.
