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.

Magnet and battery warnings

Never leave hearing aids, batteries or

magnets 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.

8 9

The magnet may aect some medical

devices or electronic systems. Always keep

the magnet (or the telephone equipped

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

from pacemakers, credit cards or other

magnetically sensitive devices.

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.

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.

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 earmold.

Labeling

The serial number and year of manufacture are

located inside the battery door.

10 11

Putting your 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, with the opening

facing toward your ear

canal and the hearing aid

resting 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.

3. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear.

Hearing aids with domes

1. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear. The

slim tube should lie flush

against your head and not

stick out.

2. Hold the slim tube where it

attaches to the dome and

gently push the dome into

your ear canal.

3. Place the retention piece

in your ear so it rests at the

bottom of the opening of

your ear canal.

12 13

Turning your hearingaids onando

The battery door acts as an on and o switch.

1. On: Close the

battery door

fully.

Note: It may

take ve

seconds

before the

hearing aid

turns on.

Your hearing

healthcare

professional

can increase

the start up

delay if required.

2. O: Open the battery door.

Note: When turning your hearing aid on and o

while it is on the ear, grasp the top and bottom

of the device with your index nger and thumb.

Use your thumb to open and close the battery

door.

Battery information

Low battery warning

Two long beeps indicate the hearing aid battery

is low. Aer the low battery warning, sounds

may not be as clear. This is normal and can be

xed by changing the batteries.

If you can’t hear the low battery warning, your

hearing healthcare professional can change its

pitch or loudness. If you prefer, it can be turned

o 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.

14 15

Replacing the battery

1. Gently swing

out the battery

door with your

ngernail.

2. Push the battery

with your thumb

and index nger

towards the

open side, and

remove or pull the

battery straight

out, depending

on your style of

hearing aid.

3. Insert the new

battery into

the battery

compartment

with the plus

(+) sign on the

battery facing the

same way as the

1. 1.

2. 2.

3. 3.

4. 4.

battery symbol on 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.

Note: There is a tamper-proof battery door

option for these hearing aids. Please see your

hearing healthcare professional for further

information.

Caring for batteries

• Always discard batteries in a safe and

environmentally friendly way.

• To prolong battery life, remember to turn

your hearing aids o when not in use,

especially when asleep.

• Remove the batteries and keep the battery

door open while hearing aids are not being

worn, especially when asleep. This will allow

internal moisture to evaporate.
