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

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 aer 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.

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.

4 5

This hearing aid is not designed to be used

for children under 36 months. The hearing

aid contains small parts that can cause

choking if swallowed by children. Keep

out of reach of pets, children and mentally

challenged people. 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 Unitron, to

avoid any electrical shock.

Note to hearing healthcare professional

Domes should never be tted 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.

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 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 dierent direction or locate

the cell phone and move away from it.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for the

rst time

• Start in a quiet room at home rst 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 rst, because you have not been

hearing them properly for a long time.

• Read aloud to yourself and learn to correct

the volume of your own voice when you are

wearing the hearing aids.

• Talk to dierent people and learn how

to distinguish between dierent sound

patterns again.

• It will take some time before you are

completely used to your hearing aids and

can fully enjoy the benets.

• Wear your hearing aids for as many hours a

day as you can, and for a little longer each

day.

• Make notes at the back of this booklet,

write down dicult situations and describe

what any unpleasant noises were like.

This information will help your hearing

healthcare professional to ne-tune the

hearing aids better for your needs.

• Involve your family and friends in this

familiarization period. For example,

ask someone to set the television to a

comfortable volume.

• When you are beginning to get used to

wearing the hearing aids, wear them in more

dicult listening environments such as the

oce, at parties or in restaurants. This can

be dicult even for people who can hear

normally. Give yourself time to regain your

ability to hear in these dicult situations.

• Make your hearing aids part of your

everyday life and be patient with yourself

while you are learning to hear sounds

correctly.

Putting your BTE hearing aids on your

ears

Your hearing aids may be color-coded with a

small dot on the battery door: red = right ear;

blue = le ear.

Hearing aids with earmolds

1. Hold the earmold between

your thumb and index

nger. The opening should

be pointing in towards

your ear canal with

the hearing aid resting

upwards above your ear.

2. Carefully insert the earmold

in your ear. You may need

to twist it slightly to the

back. The earmold should

t into your ear snugly and

comfortably. Gently pull

down and back on your

earlobe to help you insert

the earmold into your ear

canal more easily.
