Tinnitus is a disease caused by a various rea-
sons, and often described as ringing and buzzing
in ears. This kind of noise may become very
irritating for people with hearing impairments,
exacerbating their problems with perception
and decoding the audio stream. Innovative design solution

nanocoating 3D PLazma signicantly improves moisture resis-
tance of the hearing instruments as water getting inside does
not wet the surface of the electronic components, and simply
evaporates over time.
3D PLAZMA
The unique technology of 3D Plazma is a reliable
protection against moisture and dirt ! Most hear-
ing aids are afraid of water. Drops of water or
sweat, falling on the body, penetrate into the de-
viceand lead to failure of its important elements
(chip, microphone, receiver). Thanks to this
FEEDBACK FIGHTER
Hearing generates feedback signals. This leads to
annoying whistling which can be heard not only
be hearing aid wearers, but also people around
them and it is very irritanting. The latest adap-
tive feedback suppression technology - Feedback
Fighter - guarantees user protection against
acoustic feedback.

lyzis of input acoustic signal. Advanced algorithm allows to
accurately determine the occurrence of feedback. Suppress-
ing signal is generated by method which allows to accurately
detect the feedback occurrence . A surprising signal is gener-
ated to reduce or eliminate thr feedback in the output without
the loss or gain
ADAP TUNE
Another problem many hearing aid users experi-
ence an unpleasant whistle which comes as a
consequence of feedback. To eliminate this eect,
NanoTrim is equipped with AdapTune - a highly

NOISE OFF
The system of stratied noise reduction Noise O
minimizes ambient noises and makes the process
of speech perception easier and more comfortable
even with excessive background noise.
SOFT SILENCE
Clear sound without interference and irritating
noise is one of the major tasks that modern hear-
ing aid must handle.
The Soft Silence system in NanoTrim devices is
suppressed both the internal noise of the hearing
aid (noise of microphone amplier) and the external noise
(the rustling of paper, the hum of the fan, etc.), and in the
same time does not distort speech sounds, which greatly
reduces fatigue when using a hearing aid.

HA requires careful handling.
The proper handling ensures the safe operation of the HA.
Everyday care and regular maintenance of your HA significantly
prolongs its lifetime and ensures its effective operation.
Keep your hearing aid clean. Wipe it regularly with
a soft cloth (Pic.1).
Never wash your HA with water, cleaning solutions
or other liquids. Remove ear wax from your ears,
because it can aect the work of the HA or even
break the device.
If your HA was exposed to excessive moisture, dry
it with a special kit. Remove the battery before you
start drying.
To avoid damages, keep the HA in a special case.
Caring for Your Hearing Aid

Earmold care
Earmold is an important part of your HA, that’s why
it’s necessary to keep it clean.
Cleaning of earmolds
Carefully separate the tube from the main body.
Gently wash the mold with warm, soapy water or
place it in a special solution for 15-30 minutes
(Pic.2). After the treatment, the mold has to be
dried completely. If there is still moisture in the
tube or in the mold, use the are blowing device
(Pic.3). If the earmold’s tube has lost its elasticity,
become yellowish and cracked, it should be
replaced. Consult your hearing aid specialist about
this problem
Caring for Your Hearing Aid
Never use any spirit solution for cleaning the
earmold. Never treat the hearing aid with the
earmold cleaning solution.

In this case the warranty doesn’t cover the maintenance!
Gently swing out the battery door with your ngernail and then open
it completely (Pic.4a), take a new battery, take the tab o and wait
1minute so that the battery could become saturated with oxygen to
increase its energy.
Insert the new battery into the battery compartment with plus(+) sign
on the battery facing the same way as the (+) sign on the edge of the
battery door. This will ensure that the battery door closes properly.
Put the battery ONLY in the door of the battery
compartment.
Note: If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the door will
not close.
Never press too hard to close the door of the
battery compartment.
Lower amplication power and volume , or spontaneous
shutdown indicate a low battery.

Getting used to your HA
Buying a hearing aid, bear in mind that it will take some time to get
used to new sounds and sensations. How much time this process will
take depends on the individual peculiarities of an organism, level
of hearing loss, time spent using the HA, etc. If you feel discomfort
while using the HA , you need to lower the volume or turn it o and
take a break.
While watching TV, set the volume to a medium level. If you have
a hard time distinguishing sounds, turn the volume up using the
volume control. However, you should remember that turning the
volume up very high doesn’t always improve your perception of
speech, but can cause sudden fatigue and provoke the deterioration
of hearing.
In a noisy environment it’s pretty hard to distinguish certain words,
so don’t be embarrassed to ask again.
Using NanoTrim
The volume is adjusted with the volume
control – switching from position 1 (minimum
volume) up to position 4 (maximum volume)
(Pic. 5).
Besides, you can change the listening
conditions with the program selection button
(Pic. 6). Switching the programs, you can
choose the listening mode appropriate for
different situations: microphone mode,
telephone mode (telecoil), mic+telecoil and
tinnitus masker mode.

Your Hearing Aid has a three-position battery door that acts as an
o/on switch and allows access to the battery compartment. To turn
the Hearing Aid on, close the battery door fully (Pic.7a).
To turn OFF: open the battery door until it clicks, so the battery is
no longer touching the contacts.

to OFF.
To insert, hold the earmold on the outer
side near the tubing with your thumb and
forefinger (pic.8)
The upper part of the earmold must be
directed upwards. The tube must be
directed to the ear canal.
If expenencing difficultes, pull down the
earlobe or pull the auride back or up and

gently pull the earmold outwards.
Pulling down on the ear lobe may help loosen the earmold when
it is being removed.

placed in the upper part of the frame. The lid must always be closed
to avoid the penetration of dust and moisture. In case the lid is lost,
consult a specialist.
The specialist determines the position of trimmer controls while
examining a patient, in accordance with individual characteristics
of their hearing loss (audiogram).
