Warnings

The intended use of hearing aids is to

amplify and transmit sound to the ears and

hereby compensate for impaired hearing.

The hearing aids (specially programmed for

each hearing loss) must only be used by the

intended person. They should not be used

by any other person as they could damage

hearing.

Hearing aids should only be used as

directed by your physician or hearing care

professional.

Hearing aids will not restore normal hearing

and will not prevent or improve a hearing

impairment resulting from organic conditions.

Do not use your hearing aids in explosion

hazard areas.

Allergic reactions to hearing aids are unlikely.

However, if you experience itching, redness,

soreness, inflammation or a burning

sensation in or around your ears, inform your

hearing care professional and contact your

physician.

In the unlikely case that any parts remain

in the ear canals aer the removal of

the hearing aids, contact a physician

immediately.

Special medical or dental examination

including radiation described below, may

adversely aect the correct functioning of

your hearing aids. Remove and keep them

outside the examination room/area before

undergoing:

- Medical or dental examination with X-ray

(also CT scan).

- Medical examinations with MRI/NMRI scans,

generating magnetic elds.

- Hearing aids don’t need to be removed

when passing security gates (airports etc.).

If X-ray is used at all, it will be in very low

doses, and will not aect the hearing aids.

Special care should be exercised in wearing

hearing aids when maximum sound pressure

levels exceed 132 decibels. There may be

a risk of impairing your remaining hearing.

6 7

Speak with your hearing care professional to

ensure the maximum output of your hearing

aids is suitable for your particular hearing

loss.

Battery warning

Never leave hearing aids or batteries

where small children and pets can reach

them. Never put hearing aids or batteries

in your mouth. If a hearing aid or battery is

swallowed, call a physician immediately.

Precautions

The use of hearing aids is only part of hearing

rehabilitation; auditory training and lip

reading instruction may be required as well.

In most cases, infrequent use of hearing aids

does not provide full benet. Once you have

become accustomed to your hearing aids,

wear your hearing aids everyday all day.

Your hearing aids use the most modern

components to provide the best possible

sound quality in every listening situation.

However, communication devices such as

digital mobile phones can create interference

(a buzzing sound) in hearing aids. If you

experience interference from a mobile phone

being used close by, you can minimize this

interference in a number of ways. Switch your

hearing aids to another program, turn your

head in a dierent direction or locate the

mobile phone and move away from it.

Protect hearing aids from heat (never

leave near a window or in the car). Never

use a microwave or other heating devices

to dry your hearing aids (due to risk of

re or explosion). Ask your hearing care

professional about suitable drying methods.

The dome should be changed every three

months or when it becomes sti or brittle.

This is to prevent the dome from detaching

from the tube spout during insertion into or

removal from the ear.

Do not drop your hearing aids. Dropping onto

a hard surface can damage your hearing aids.

8 9

Note to hearing care professional

Domes should never be tted on clients with

perforated eardrums, exposed middle ear

cavities, or surgically altered ear canals. In

the case of such a condition, we recommend

to use a customized earmold.

Labeling

The serial number and year of manufacture are

located under the colored hearing aid marking.

Mobile phone compatibility rating

Some hearing aid users have reported a

buzzing sound in their hearing aids when

they are using mobile phones, indicating

that the mobile phone and hearing aids may

not be compatible. According to the ANSI

C63.19 standard (ANSI C63.19-2011 American

National Standard Methods of Measurement

of Compatibility Between Wireless

Communications Devices and Hearing Aids), the

compatibility of particular hearing aids and a

mobile phone can be predicted by adding the

rating for the hearing aid immunity to the rating

for the mobile phone emissions. For example,

the sum of the hearing aid rating of 4 (M4) and

a telephone rating of 3 (M3) would result in a

combined rating of 7. Any combined rating that

equals at least 5 would provide “normal use”; a

combined rating of 6 or greater would indicate

“excellent performance.”

The immunity of these hearing aids is at leastM4.

10 11

The equipment performance measurements,

categories and system classications are based

upon the best information available but cannot

guarantee that all users will be satised.

The performance of the individual hearing

aids may vary with individual mobile phones.

Therefore, please try these hearing aids with

your mobile phone or, if you are purchasing a

new phone, please be sure to try it with your

hearing aids prior to purchase.

Tinnitus masker

Tinnitus masker uses broadband noise to

provide temporary relief of tinnitus.

Tinnitus masker warnings

The tinnitus masker is a broadband sound

generator. It provides a means of sound

enrichment therapy that can be used as

part of a personalized tinnitus management

program to provide temporary relief from

tinnitus.

The underlying principle of sound

enrichment is to provide supplementary

noise stimulation which can help defocus

your attention from your tinnitus and avoid

negative reactions. Sound enrichment,

coupled with instructional counseling, is an

established approach to managing tinnitus.

Air conduction hearing aids with the tinnitus

masker are to be tted by a hearing care

professional familiar with the diagnosis and

management of tinnitus.

12 13

Should you develop any side eects

while using the tinnitus masker, such as

headaches, nausea, dizziness or heart

palpitations or experience a decrease

in auditory function such as decreased

loudness tolerance, worsening of tinnitus, or

speech not as clear, you should discontinue

use of the device and seek medical

attention.

The volume of the tinnitus masker can be

set to a level which could lead to permanent

hearing damage when used for a prolonged

period of time. Should the tinnitus masker

be set to such a level in your hearing aids,

your hearing care professional will advise

you of the maximum amount of time per

day you should use the tinnitus masker. The

tinnitus masker should never be used at

uncomfortable levels.

Important information

The tinnitus masker generates sounds that are

used as part of your personalized temporary

tinnitus management program to provide relief

from tinnitus. It should always be used as

prescribed by a hearing care professional who

is familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of

tinnitus.

Good health practice requires that a person

reporting tinnitus have a medical evaluation by

a licensed ear physician before using a sound

generator. The purpose of such an evaluation

is to ensure that medically treatable conditions,

which may be causing tinnitus, are identied

and treated prior to using a sound generator.

The tinnitus masker is intended for adults 18

years of age or older who have both hearing

loss and tinnitus.

14 15

Putting your hearing aids on your ears

Your hearing aids may be color-coded with an

indicator on the battery door: red = right ear;

blue = le ear.

Hearing aids with domes

1. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear.

2. Hold the wire where it

attaches to the dome and

gently push the dome into

your ear canal. The wire

should lie flush against

your head and not stick out.

3. If there is a retention piece,

place it in your ear so it

rests at the bottom of the

opening of your ear canal.

Hearing aids with custom molds

1. Hold the custom mold

between your thumb and

index nger. The opening

should be pointing in

towards your ear canal with

the hearing aid resting

above your ear.

2. Carefully insert the custom

mold into your ear. The

mold should t into your

ear snugly and comfortably.

3. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear.
