- Q1Which statement supports patients/clients as they are learning about their new hearing instruments?There’s a button on the back of your hearing aid that you can push to turn up the volumeOnce the hearing aid is in your ear you’ll be able to adjust the volume of what you hearHere’s a picture of your hearing aid that you can take home; if you push the button that the green arrow points to, you will turn up the volume of your hearing aidSee this button here? Pushing it will turn up the volume of your hearing aid30s
