Warnings

Hearing aids should only be used as directed

by your physician or hearing healthcare

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 healthcare professional and contact

your physician.

In the unlikely case that any parts remain in

the ear canal after the removal of the hearing

aid, contact a physician immediately.

Remove your hearing aids for CT and

MRI scans or for other electromagnetic

procedures.

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. Speak with your hearing healthcare

professional to ensure the maximum output

of your hearing aids is suitable for your

particular hearing loss.

Easy-t magnet warnings

Be sure the magnet is securely afﬁxed to the

telephone.

Keep loose magnets out of reach of children

and pets.

If the magnet falls into your ear, contact your

hearing healthcare professional.

If the magnet is swallowed, contact your

physician immediately.

The magnet may affect some medical devices

or electronic systems. Always keep the

magnet (or the telephone equipped with

the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”) away from

6 7

pacemakers, credit cards, ﬂoppy disks or

other magnetically sensitive devices.

Too high distortion during dialing or

phoning may mean that the phone handset

is stressed by the magnet. To avoid any

damage, please move the magnet to another

place on the telephone receiver.

Battery warnings

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 beneﬁt. 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 cell phones can create interference

(a buzzing sound) in hearing aids. If you

experience interference from a cell 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 different direction or locate the cell

phone and move away from it.

Note to hearing healthcare professional

Domes should never be ﬁtted on patients

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 ear mold.

Labeling

The serial number and year of manufacture are

located inside the battery door.

Moxi Kiss with custom shells

1. Hold the custom shell

between your thumb and

index ﬁnger. The opening

should be pointing in

towards your ear canal

with the hearing aid resting

upwards over the top of

your ear.

2. Carefully insert the custom

shell into your ear. The

shell should ﬁt into your

ear snugly and comfortably.

3. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear.

Putting your hearing aids on your ears

Your hearing aids may be color-coded with a small

dot that is visible when the battery door is open:

red = right ear; blue = left ear.

Moxi Kiss with domes

1. 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.

2. Place the hearing aid over the

top of your ear.

3. Place the retention piece

in your ear so it rests at the

bottom of the opening of

your ear canal.

10 11

Turning your hearing aids on and off

Your hearing aids have a three-position battery

door that acts as an on/off switch and that

allows access to the battery compartment.

1. On: Close the battery door

fully.

Note: It may take 5 seconds

before the hearing aids turn on.

Your hearing healthcare provider

can additionally increase the

start up delay if required.

2. Off: Partially open the battery

door.

3. Open: Fully open the battery

door to access and change the

battery.

Note: When turning your hearing

aid on and off while it is on the

ear, grasp the top and bottom of

the hearing aid with your index

ﬁnger and thumb. Use the index ﬁnger of your

opposite hand to open and close the battery door.

Battery information

To replace the battery, fully open the battery door

for access to the battery compartment.

Low battery warning

Two long beeps indicate the hearing aid battery

is low. After the low battery warning, you may

experience some reduction in sound quality. This

is normal and can be remedied by inserting fresh

batteries into the hearing aids.

If you are not able to hear the low battery

warning, your hearing healthcare professional

can change the pitch or loudness of the low

battery warning. If you prefer, it can be turned off

entirely.

Your hearing aids are designed to generate a

low battery warning every 30 minutes until you

change the batteries, but depending on the

condition of the batteries, they may die before

another low battery warning occurs. Therefore, it

is recommended that the batteries are replaced

as soon as possible once you hear the low

battery warning.

12 13

Replacing the battery

1. Gently swing out the battery

door with your ﬁngernail.

2. Push the battery with your

thumb and index ﬁnger

towards the open side, and

remove.

3. Insert the new battery into the

battery compartment with the

plus (+) sign on the battery

facing the same way as the

plus (+) sign on the edge of

the battery door. This will

ensure that the battery door

closes properly.

Note: If the battery is inserted

incorrectly, the hearing aid will

not turn on.

4. Close the battery door.

Caring for batteries

Always discard batteries in a safe and

environmentally friendly way.

To prolong battery life, remember to turn your

hearing aids off when not in use.

Remove the batteries and keep the battery door

open while hearing aids are not in use. This will

allow internal moisture to evaporate.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for the

ﬁrst time

1. Start in a quiet room at home ﬁrst to get

used to the new sound quality. Sounds like

the ticking of a clock, the humming of the

computer, the beep of the microwave or the

rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud

to you at ﬁrst, because you have not been

hearing them properly for a long time.

2. Read aloud to yourself and learn to correct

the volume of your own voice when you are

wearing the hearing aids.

3. Talk to different people and learn how to

distinguish between different sound patterns

again.

4. It will take some time before you are

completely used to your hearing aids and can

fully enjoy the beneﬁts.

5. Wear your hearing aids for as many hours a

day as you can, and for a little longer each day.

6. Make notes at the back of this booklet,

write down difﬁcult situations and describe

what any unpleasant noises were like. This

information will help your hearing healthcare

professional to ﬁne-tune the devices better

for you.

7. Involve your family and friends in this

familiarization period. For example,

ask someone to set the television to a

comfortable volume.

8. When you are beginning to get used to

wearing the hearing aids, wear them in more

difﬁcult listening environments such as the

ofﬁce, at parties or in restaurants. This can

be difﬁcult even for people who can hear

normally. Give yourself time to regain your

ability to hear in these difﬁcult situations.

9. Make your hearing aids part of your everyday

life and be patient with yourself until you

have retrained yourself to interpret the

sounds correctly.
