Apply Paste to Electrodes

Apply a smudge of paste to both electrodes in the ear clip. The paste reduces the electrical resistance of the skin and makes the stimulation more comfortable.

Clip to Your Ear

Ensure a nice deep connection on the tragus region of your left ear. It helps to take the cable up, over and behind your ear for support.

Depending on the size of your ear you may need to use a mirror to find a stable fit.
