1. Welcome

Your new hearing aid is a premium Swiss quality product.

It was developed by Phonak, one of the world‘s leading

companies in hearing technology. Your hearing aid

offers the most modern digital hearing technology

currently available on the market.

Please read these user instructions thoroughly in order

to beneﬁt from all the possibilities your new hearing

aid has to offer. With proper use and care, you will be

able to enjoy your hearing aid for many years to come.

If you have any questions, please consult your hearing

care professional.

Phonak – life is on www.phonak.co.uk

Please read the information on the following pages

before using your hearing aid.

A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and

will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment

resulting from organic conditions. Infrequent use

of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full

beneﬁt from it. The use of a hearing aid is only

part of hearing habilitation and may need to be

supplemented by auditory training and instruction

in lipreading.

2.1Hazard 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.

2. Important safety information

Changes or modiﬁcations to the hearing aid that

were not explicitly approved by Phonak are not

permitted. Such changes may damage your ear or

the hearing aid.

Do not use the hearing aids in explosive areas (mines

or industrial areas with danger of explosions).

Hearing aid batteries are toxic if they are swallowed!

Keep out of reach of children and mentally challenged

people or pets. If batteries are swallowed, consult

your physician immediately!

If you feel pain in or behind your ear, if it is inﬂamed,

if skin irritation or accelerated accumulations of

ear wax occur, please check with your hearing care

professional or physician.

In very rare cases, the dome can remain in your ear

canal when removing the hearing tube from the

ear. In the unlikely case that the dome does get stuck

in your ear canal, it is strongly recommended to

see a physician for safe removal.

Hearing programs in the directional microphone

mode reduce background noises. Please be aware

that warning signals or noises coming from behind,

e. g. cars, are partially or entirely suppressed.

This hearing aid is not designed to be used for

children below 36 months. The hearing aid contains

small parts that can cause choking, if swallowed

by children. Keep out of reach of children and

mentally challenged people or pets. If swallowed,

consult a physician or hospital immediately.

External devices may only be connected if they

have been tested in accordance with corresponding

IECXXXXX standards. Only use accessories approved

by Phonak AG, to avoid any electrical shock.

2. Important safety information

The following is only applicable for persons with

active implantable medical devices (i.e. pacemakers,

defibrillators, etc.):

2.2 Information on product safety

For your M and M W hearing aid only:

Never immerse your hearing aid in water! Protect it

from excessive moisture. Always remove your hea-

ring aid before showering, bathing, or swimming,

as the hearing aid contains sensitive electronic

parts.

SKeep the wireless hearing aid at least 15 cm

(6 inches) away from the active implant. If you

experience any interference, do not use the wireless

hearing aids and contact the manufacturer of

the active implant. Please, note that interference

can also be caused by power lines, electrostatic

discharge, airport metal detectors etc.

SKeep magnets (i.e. battery handling tool, EasyPhone

magnet, etc.) at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from

the active implant.

SYou are not permitted to use wireless accessories

for your hearing aids. Ask your hearing care

professional for details.

2. Important safety information

For your micro and micro W hearing aid only:

Your hearing aid is resistant to water, sweat and

dust under the conditions listed in chapter 5. After

exposure to any of these elements the hearing aid

must be cleaned and dried, as the hearing aid

contains sensitive electronic parts.

Never wash the microphone inputs. Doing so could

cause it to lose its special acoustic features.

Protect your hearing aid from heat (never leave it

near a window or in the car.) Never use a microwave

or other heating devices to dry your hearing aid.

Ask your hearing care professional about suitable

drying methods.

When you are not using your hearing aid, leave the

battery compartment open so that any moisture

can evaporate. Make sure that you always completely

dry your hearing aid after use. Store the hearing

aid in a safe, dry and clean place.
