Features
The HD211 is remarkably compact and unobtrusive, sitting comfortably behind the ear, complete with barely visible thin tubing. Available in either beige or dark-grey (anthracite).
The thin silicon tubing directs the amplified sound into the ear canal. A ‘dome’ is attached to the end of the thin tubing. The dome helps the thin tubing sit comfortably in the ear canal. The thin tubing should sit close to the side of the head, and when in place correctly, offers an extremely discreet fitting.
A push button on the spine of the HD211 gives access to 4 different volume settings.
- 4 sound processing channels give a clear reproduction of incoming sound.
- The HD211 includes automatic noise reduction to reduce background noise allowing you to focus on what's important. Feedback management helps to prevent unwanted whistling.
- A low battery warning (a series of double beeps) will sound in your ear when the battery voltage drops below a certain point.
- The thin tubing helps keep the ear canal as unblocked as possible, bass tones are not over-amplified, whilst high tones can be boosted as needed.
- If you have sent us your audiogram in advance the HD211 will be programmed with 4 volume settings based on your audiogram:
- 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 default setting, suitable for a mild to moderate, high-frequency hearing loss is used to create the 4 settings.

FAQs
Here's answers to the frequently asked questions about the HD 211 Digital Hearing Aid
How do I use the HD211?
How do I know if it will fit my ear?
The medium length tubing included as standard fits more than 85% of our customers comfortably - but we will send out a shorter or longer tubing if need be. A number of different sizes and styles of dome designs can also be used. A smaller dome can help to minimise the ear canal feeling blocked up; but a bigger dome may be required to prevent amplified sound leaking back out the ear canal and creating feedback (whistling).
How do I know if the sound will be right for me?
If you have a copy of a hearing test available you can send it to us and we can confirm if the HD211 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.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If anything about the physical fitting or sound is not to your liking, you can return the HD211 for a full refund within the first 30 days of receipt. Do of course feel free to contact us to see if the problem can be resolved with a fine tuning.
Should I get one or two?
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.
How much will it cost to run the HD211?
The following items will need to be replaced on the HD211:
- Battery: budget 6 batteries per month (6 batteries in a pack)
- Dome: change the dome every month on average (10 domes in a pack)
- Tubing: change the tubing every 3 months (single tubings can be purchased, or in a pack of 5)
How do I turn the HD211 on/off?
No on/off switch, just insert battery, close / open battery door
How do I work the controls?
There is one small push button on the spine of the HD211. This changes between 4 settings or programmes.
Can the sound be adjusted?
Yes, we offer free fine tuning on the HD211 for its lifetime. If you need us to adjust the hearing aid to match an updated audiogram, or increase/decrease the volume etc at any time, simply let us know and then post the hearing aid back to us. We cover the postage back to you.
