Your new Bravissimo élan hearing aid

ank you for choosing a Widex hearing aid. We

have included these user’s instructions to inform

you about the various aspects associated with wear-

ing hearing aids. e instructions are made up of

two parts: e ﬁrst part is an introduction to life as

a hearing aid user, how to get used to new sounds,

etc. e second part contains facts about your hear-

ing aid. How to operate and maintain it and what

you can do if you experience problems. Both parts

are equally important, so we recommend that you

read the entire booklet to get full satisfaction from

the quality and performance we have built into your

new Bravissimo élan hearing aid.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

A world of new sounds

Becoming a hearing aid user can be an exciting

challenge. Your hearing aid does not restore normal

hearing, but it brings back sounds that you may not

have heard or thought about for years - everyday

sounds such as a ticking clock, dripping water, the

television, the car, footsteps on hard ﬂoors, children’s

voices,music,doors banging,laughter,tools,machin-

ery, etc. All these sounds can be a bit overwhelming.

Try to identify and localise the sounds you are not

accustomed to hearing. Once you become used to

hearing these everyday sounds again, they will be-

come a part of your active world of sounds.

The road to better hearing and a more active

everyday life

Your hearing aids may help you regain the pleasure of

communicating with other people and increase your

quality of life. So, although it may feel like a big chal-

lenge in the beginning, it will be worth the eﬀort.

Help to help yourself

Most modern hearing aids are designed with a mul-

titude of options, settings and features to beneﬁt

most hearing aid users. Your Bravissimo élan hear-

ing aid is set individually to your hearing to ensure

the best and most comfortable sound reproduction.

After a period of use, your hearing aid may have

to be ﬁne tuned by your hearing care professional.

Maybe you have discovered new needs, or maybe

there are situations where the loudness level or

sound reproduction is not satisfactory.e more de-

tails you can provide for your hearing care profes-

sional about your initial experience with the hearing

aids, the easier it is to ﬁnd the right solution. Before

your next consultation with your hearing care pro-

fessional, it is important that you notice how your

new hearing aids feel.

Make a note of the situations where you are not

satisﬁed and why. Is the problem related to low

frequency, high frequency, weak or loud sounds?

Is it all the time or only in speciﬁc situations? Try

to describe your experiences as detailed as possible

so that you and your hearing care professional have

something to go on when you meet again.

The battery

Battery type

e recommended battery type for your Bravissimo

élan is:

Zinc Air battery type 13

For acquisition of batteries, consult your hearing

care professional. Please note the expiry date and

the recommendations regarding disposal of used

batteries on the battery pack. To ensure proper bat-

tery function, do not use batteries past the expiry

date. Because they are Zinc Air type batteries, they

need air to work. erefore, do not remove the ad-

hesive tab until just before inserting the battery in

the hearing aid. Once the tab has been removed, the

battery will start functioning after a few seconds.

e lifetime of the battery depends on a number of

factors, such as the setting of your hearing aid, how

many hours you use it daily and the listening envi-

ronments in which you use it.
