Introduction
Thank you for choosing our hearing aids. We recommend that you use your hearing aids every day.
This way you will fully benefit from them.
NOTE: Read this booklet carefully before you start using your hearing aids.
Intended use
Generic air-conduction hearing aids are wearable sound-amplifying devices intended to compensate
for impaired hearing. The fundamental operating principle of hearing aids is to receive, amplify, and
transfer sound to the eardrum of a hearing impaired person.
For devices including a Tinnitus Sound Generator module
The Tinnitus Sound Generator module is a tool to generate sounds to be used in a Tinnitus
Management Program to temporarily relieve patients suffering from Tinnitus.

Battery warnings
WARNING: Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be disposed of carefully in the
interest of your safety and for the environment. Please note:
1. Keep batteries away from children, mentally disabled persons, and pets.
2. Do not place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been
swallowed, as they can be harmful to your health.
3. Do not recharge zinc-air batteries – they may leak or explode.
4. Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.
5. Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local
regulations or return them to your hearing care professional.
6. Batteries may leak. Remove the battery if you leave the hearing aids unused for longer
periods.
7. If the batteries are not inserted correctly, the device will not work and the batteries may build
up heat. If this happens, please remove the batteries.
8How to get your hearing aid ready for use
NOTE:
• Always use new zinc-air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of one year.
• To save battery power, turn off your hearing aids when they are not in use.
How to change the battery
1. Prepare the new battery.
Remove the protective foil to
activate the battery - wait for
two minutes before inserting
the battery into the hearing aid.
2. Open the battery door
completely using your
fingernail.
3. Remove the used battery.
4. Insert the new battery with
the positive side (+) facing
upwards. Always insert the
battery in the door, never
directly into the hearing
aid.
5. Close the battery door.
How to get your hearing aid ready for use 9
Please observe the following:
1. To save battery power, turn off your hearing aids when they are not in use.
2. At night, switch off the hearing aid and open the battery door completely to allow moisture to
evaporate. This prolongs the hearing aid's lifespan.
3. If the hearing aid frequently loses connection with wireless accessories, contact your hearing care
professional for a list of appropriate batteries.
Battery door lock
If the hearing aid is going to be used by a child or a mentally disabled person, you can ask your hearing
care professional to make a battery door lock available for you. You can turn the hearing aid on and off
as you usually do, but you will have to unlock the battery door every time you need to change the
battery.
