BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Before you start to use your hearing instrument,

open the swing-out battery door and make sure

there is a fresh battery in the compartment.

TURNING ON AND OFF

Turn your hearing instru-

ment on by closing the bat-

tery door. Turn your hearing

instrument off by pushing in

on the small knob located

on the battery door. This

will cause the battery door

to open.

The hearing instrument

will always be in program

1 when it is ﬁrst turned

on. Additional information

about the programs can be

found on page 10.

Turning your hearing instrument off, when not in

use, will increase the battery life. Therefore, it is

recommended that you turn off your hearing in-

strument at night and open the battery door com-

pletely. It will also allow moisture in your hearing

instrument to evaporate and will increase the in-

strument’s lifespan.

INSERTING THE INSTRUMENT (with ear mould)

1) Hold the ear mould

between your thumb

and index ﬁnger and

position its sound out-

let in your ear canal

2) Slide the ear mould

all the way into your

ear with a gentle,

twisting movement

(insertion will be easier

if you gently pull your

ear up and back with

your other hand)

3) Turn the top-part of

the ear mould gently

backwards and for-

wards so that it tucks

behind the fold of skin

above your ear canal

4) Place the hearing in-

strument behind your ear

5) Move the ear mould up and down and press

gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in the

ear

6) When the ear mould and hearing instrument

are correctly positioned, and you have not al-

ready turned it on, switch on your instrument

by closing the battery door

Tip

Opening and closing your mouth can ease

insertion.

CHANGING THE BATTERY

Insert the new battery with the + side facing up

as shown on the side of the battery compartment.

Always remove the old battery before inserting a

new one.

6090 SP uses a type 675 zinc-air battery. A weak

battery will reduce the performance of the hearing

instrument.

BATTERY WARNINGS

Batteries contain dangerous substances and should

be disposed of carefully in the interest of your sa-

fety as well as for the environment.

Keep old batteries in a safe place and return them

to a hearing care professional for recycling. Do

NOT attempt to recharge batteries which are not

speciﬁcally designated rechargeable as they may

leak or explode.

Do NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning

them.

Keep batteries away from small children. If swal-

lowed, seek immediate medical attention.

REMOVING THE HEARING INSTRUMENT

To remove the hearing instrument, simply pull the

tube outward with your thumb and foreﬁnger.

Consult your hearing care professional if you have

difﬁculty removing the hearing instrument.

RECOGNIZING LEFT AND RIGHT INSTRUMENT

If you have two hearing instruments, they may be

set differently for your right and left ears. Do not

switch the hearing instruments without consulting

your hearing care professional. If you detach the

ear moulds from the hearing instruments when

cleaning and/or storing them, verify that you have

connected the ear moulds to the appropriate hear-

ing instrument before ﬁtting them to your ears.

To properly identify your left instrument from your

right you should see an indication just above the

Push button (see page 10), that designates

which ear the instrument is for. L is for Left and R

is for Right.

USER-OPERATED CONTROLS

Volume control

Volume is adjusted by means of a conveniently lo-

cated rotary control marked from »1« (minimum

level) to »4« (maximum level).

Setting the volume

Your instrument has a volume control which al-

lows you to set and control the volume manually.

At the hearing instru-

ment ﬁtting, your hear-

ing care practitioner will

choose an optimal vo-

lume setting for you.

Please note the setting

of that particular level.

Your volume control has

numbers on it to indicate how loud the hearing

instrument is set.

• If you prefer not to use the volume wheel your

hearing care professional can disable this fea-

ture.

T-PROGRAM

Your hearing instrument has a built in function

called the telecoil, which offers improved hearing

when used with a telecoil compatible telephone or

assistive listening device.

In this program, you typically will not be able to

hear any sound from the microphone, but will be

able to get direct sound input via a telecoil com-

patible telephone and/or a loop system, e.g. in

churches, theatres, etc., or at home. Your hearing

care professional has software that will enable

both the microphone and

the telecoil to be opera-

tional at the same time, if

so desired.

In order to activate the

telecoil, the telecoil pro-

gram must be selected

(typically available in pro-

gram 3).

PROGRAM BUTTON

Your hearing instrument has a push button

enabling you to use up to three different listen-

ing programs, each of them suitable for different

listening environments. If program 1 was enabled,

pressing the program

button will enable pro-

gram 2. If program 2

was enabled, pressing

the program button, will

enable program 3 etc.

An audible signal will be

heard after pressing the

program button. When

you press the program

button:

• One single beep will

be heard if the instru-

ment is in program 1

• Two beeps will be

heard if the instru-

ment is in program 2

• Three beeps will be

heard if the instrument is in program 3

When you close the battery door, the hearing

instrument will automatically turn on and the in-

strument will be set for program 1.

Press the program button to select a different

listening program.

DIRECT AUDIO INPUT(DAI) CAPABILITY

This hearing instrument

is equipped with direct

audio input (DAI) ca-

pability. DAI allows an

external sound source

to be connected di-

rectly to the hearing

aid via a DAI boot.

You will receive an improved signal, when using

DAI, because the sound is fed directly into the

hearing aid, bypassing some of the normal sour-

ces of noise. Some of the external devices that can

be connected to the DAI boot are a telephone, a

CD player, a computer etc… The DAI boot is an

optional accessory that can be purchased through

your hearing care professional.

• The sound source connects to your hearing in-

strument with a cable and an audio boot.

• The hearing instrument professional will set one

of your programs for direct audio input. To use

direct audio input (DAI), set the hearing instru-

ment to the DAI program (typically program 3).

• In this program, you will typically not hear any

sound from the microphone. Therefore, most

environmental sounds will not be heard in the

ear that is set to DAI. Your hearing care pro-

fessional has software to modify this program

to allow you to hear environmental sounds and

DAI simultaneously.

TELEPHONE USE

Using the telephone, while wearing your hearing

instrument, may require some practice. Many hear-

ing instruments will whistle, when the phone is

held up against them. To avoid this problem, the

6090 SP has an induction coil. By switching the

program button to the telecoil program (typically

program 3), the hearing instrument will only pick

up sounds coming from the telephone. You may

need to adjust the volume on the hearing instru-

ment to improve hearing understanding on the

telephone. The receiver of the telephone should

be placed as shown in the drawing below.

DAI-boot

Protect your hearing instru-

ment from rough handling.

Avoid dropping it on hard

surfaces or ﬂoors.

Do not leave the instrument

near direct heat or sunlight.

Excessive heat can damage

the instrument or casing.

Use fresh batteries. Remove

the battery from the hearing

instrument when it is not in

use to prevent corrosion of

the battery contacts.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Keep your hearing instrument clean. Wipe it with

a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove oil and

moisture. Remove any accumulated ear wax from

the sound outlet, for example with a small brush

as shown in the illustration, but never immerse the

instrument in water or other liquids since this may

cause permanent damage to the circuitry.

Keep your hearing instrument dry. If the instru-

ment has been exposed to high humidity or per-

spiration, enclose it in a sealed container (desicca-

tor) together with a drying agent overnight.

Consult your hearing care professional concerning

which drying agent to use.

Never attempt to dry it with a hair dryer, in the

microwave oven, etc.

Remove your hearing instrument before going

to sleep. In addition, open the battery

compartment to turn off the aid and allow it to

aerate.

The operating temperature range is from -10°C

(14°F) up to +50°C (122°F).

EAR MOULD

The ear mould feeds the ampliﬁed sounds from

the hearing instrument into the ear. It is impor-

tant that the ear mould ﬁts correctly in your ear

and does not cause irritation or pain. If the ear

mould irritates your ear in any way and prevents

you from wearing your hearing instrument, please

contact your hearing care professional to have the

ear mould modiﬁed. You should never attempt to

modify the shape of the ear mould yourself.

The ear mould should be cleaned every day.

Remove the ear mould and the plastic tubing

from the hearing instrument before you clean

the ear mould. Lukewarm water should be

enough to clean grease and moisture off the

ear mould. Do not immerse the ear mould in

disinfectant liquids, such as alcohol, since this can

cause the tubing to dry out and crack. If

earwax is stuck in the tubing or ear mould,

use a syringe ﬁlled with lukewarm water to

“push” the wax out. The plastic tubing connecting

the ear mould to the hearing instrument should

be changed by hearing care professional if it be-

comes stiff or brittle.

Be sure to thoroughly dry the ear mould and it’s

tubing before connecting it to the hearing instru-

ment. Gently blowing in the tubing will remove

dry water trapped inside.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• Consult a physician if you ﬁnd a foreign object

in your ear canal, if you experience skin irritation

or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use

of the hearing instrument.

• Different types of radiation, e.g. from NMR or CT

scanners, may damage the hearing instrument.

Therefore, do not wear the hearing instrument

during these or other corresponding scan-

ning procedures. Other types of radiation

(burglary alarms, room surveillance systems,

radio equipment, mobile telephones, etc)

contain less energy and will not damage the

hearing instrument. They could, however, mo-

mentarily affect the sound quality, or cause the

hearing aids to emit an unexpected sound.

• Warning: Do not wear the hearing instrument

in mines or other explosive areas, unless those

areas are certiﬁed for hearing instrument use.

• Warning to hearing aid dispenser:

Special care should be exercised in selecting and

ﬁtting a hearing aid whose maximum sound

pressure level exceeds 132 dB as measured with

an IEC 711 Ear simulator because there may be

a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the

hearing aid user.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE

HEARING CARE PROFESSIONAL

• Thorough medical/audiometric evaluation is

recommended prior to ﬁtting a child with this

hearing instrument.

• Please instruct the end-user very carefully in how

to use and maintain the hearing instrument.

• Please store the hearing instrument in a dry

place at temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and

+40°C (104°F)

• Please dispose of the hearing instrument

and batteries in accordance with the proper

regulations
