Directions for the Use of ePen

The ePen, created and manufactured by Siemens, is a remote control that interfaces with hearing devices. The device runs on a single AAA battery and uses the same power and control system as other remote controls, such as those you use for a TV. The device is sensitive to temperature, humidity, water and abrasive cleaning solutions. If you are looking to simplify your hearing aid management with an ePen, speak to your audiologist or hearing device retailer.
