Your hearing aid, é-tip and accessories may not

look exactly the same as in these user’s instruc-

tions. We furthermore reserve the right to make

any changes considered necessary.

Hearing aids and their accessories

should not be disposed of with normal

household waste. Please consult your

national Widex distributor for advice

on how to dispose of your hearing aid.

Your Widex Senso hearing aid is a very intricate,

high precision electronic unit. It has been careful-

ly designed to withstand years of wear, under the

varying conditions the typical user finds them-

selves in each day. However, your hearing aid

may be damaged if exposed to extreme conditions,

severe blows, or general neglect.

To get full satisfaction from the quality and the

performance we have built into your new Widex

hearing aid, please handle it with care, and read

and follow the instructions carefully.

At the back of this manual you will find a trouble-

shooting guide, which will help you in situations

where your hearing aid does not perform accord-

ing to your expectations.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid!

A. Volume control

B. Telecoil (M-MT-T switch)

C. On/off switch and

battery drawer

Turning the hearing aid on

and off

The battery drawer also func-

tions as the on/off switch. The

hearing aid is turned on when

the switch is pushed upwards,

and off when the switch is

pushed downwards as illustrat-

ed.

The word “OFF” is clearly visi-

ble on the switch when the aid

is turned off.

Please remember to switch the

hearing aid off when it is not in

use. Remove the battery if the

hearing aid will not be used

again soon.

Automatic adjustment of

loudness

Senso P38 is equipped with a computer which has

been designed to adjust its loudness automatically

in accordance with the sound environment around

you. Several thousand times per second, Senso

analyses the surroundings and tailors its sound

accordingly.

With Senso you do not have to think about adjust-

ing the volume – it happens quite automatically.

Fine tuning loudness

If you have a Senso P38 with a

digital volume control, you can

fine tune the volume to make it

more comfortable when needed.

Press the lever upwards to

slightly raise the volume of the

automatic setting.

Press the lever downwards to slightly lower the

volume of the automatic setting.

When you raise the volume, you will hear a beep-

tone for each step the volume is raised. When the

maximum adjustment level is reached, a steady

tone will sound until you release the lever.

When you lower the volume, you will hear a deep-

er beep-tone for each step the volume is lowered.

When the minimum adjustment level is reached, a

steady tone will sound until you release the lever.

Note: Senso P38 is a powerful hearing aid. Avoid

prolonged use at uncomfortably high sound pres-

sure levels – it might damage your hearing.

For further information, consult your hearing

healthcare professional.

Telecoil (M-MT-T switch)

“M” (microphone): For nor-

mal use, the switch should be

in position “M” (microphone).

“T” (telecoil): Position “T” cuts

off the microphone and brings

the built-in telecoil into opera-

tion. The hearing aid can then

be used within any magnetic field or loop system

without background interference.

A loop system or magnetic field device can be fit-

ted to a TV or radio. Some public places such as

churches, theatres, cinemas and lecture rooms

are already equipped with a loop system.

Ask your hearing healthcare professional for

more information.

Note: The magnetic field in some telephones is

inadequate, in which case the “M” position should

be used.

“MT” (microphone + telecoil): If you want to

listen both via the microphone and the telecoil,

place the switch in mid-position “MT” (e.g. when

watching TV while still wanting to hear the door-

bell, telephone, or other persons speaking).

Changing the battery

Before inserting a new battery

in your hearing aid, remember

to remove the adhesive tab. Do

not use batteries on which there

is a sticky residue from the tab

or other unwanted substance

as this can block the battery

airholes.

Push the nail grip downwards

to swing open the battery draw-

er. The nail grip is located on

the opposite side of the on/off

switch at the bottom of the

hearing aid.

The battery must be placed

with the plus (+) sign visible, in

accordance with the plus (+)

sign on the battery drawer. If

the battery drawer does not

close easily, the battery is in-

correctly inserted.

When changing batteries, make sure to hold the

hearing aid over a table or a carpet to make it

easier to find a dropped hearing aid or battery.

Exhausted batteries: If you hear four rapid

beep-tones while wearing your hearing aid, it is

an indication that you should exchange the bat-

tery as soon as possible as the battery is nearly

exhausted. Once the battery is totally exhausted,

the hearing aid will be completely silent.

Exactly how long the hearing aid will function af-

ter the beep-tones varies from one case to anoth-

er. We recommend that you always have a spare

battery with you.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing

aid. Exhausted batteries may leak, which could

damage your hearing aid.

Recommended energy source:

Zinc Air battery type 675

This hearing aid uses an environmentally friend-

ly, type 675 Zinc Air battery, which provides a

long lifetime when treated correctly.

Please note the expiry date code on the battery

pack stating how long the batteries will be good.

Do not remove the adhesive tab until just before

inserting the battery in the hearing aid. Once in-

serted, the battery will start functioning after a

few seconds. Operate your hearing aid with the

same battery until it is exhausted.

The 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

environments in which you use it.

On occasion, a new battery may be exhausted be-

cause it was not sealed properly. If your hearing

aid does not work after you have replaced the bat-

tery, try inserting a different new battery.

Left/right identiﬁcation

If you are wearing hearing aids on both ears, and

you want to make sure you are placing them cor-

rectly, you can arrange with your hearing health-

care professional to have a small identification

mark (red nameplate) on the right-ear hearing

aid.

Placing Senso on/in the ear

Insert a battery in your hearing aid. We recom-

mend that you turn off the hearing aid before

placing it on the ear. First insert the earmould in

the ear canal while holding the lower part of the

tubing. It may also be helpful to gently pull the

outer ear backwards and upwards with the oppo-

site hand.

Once the earmould has been

inserted, you place the hear-

ing aid behind the ear, so

that the hook rests comforta-

bly on the ear, close to your

head. When the hearing aid

is in its correct position, turn

on the hearing aid.

Removing Senso

First remove the hearing aid from its position be-

hind the ear. Carefully pull the earmould out of

the ear canal, while holding the lower part of the

tubing. If it is difficult, it may help to try to move

the earmould carefully from side to side while

pulling it out. It may also help to pull the outer

ear upwards and backwards with the opposite

hand.

In case of malfunction

Should your hearing aid be completely or periodi-

cally dead, try the following before consulting

your hearing healthcare professional:

• Make sure the hearing aid is switched on.

• Disconnect the tubing with earmould from

the hook of the hearing aid and check if

there is moisture in the tubing.

• Check that the earmould is not blocked by

earwax. Disconnect the tubing with ear-

mould from the hook of the hearing aid and

try to blow air through the earmould with a

small blower.

• Change the battery and make sure the new

battery is correctly inserted.

See the Troubleshooting guide p. 30-31.

Important

Please be sure to keep your hearing aid and its

accessories out of the reach of children, who might

place them in their mouths.

Also keep batteries out of children’s reach and

discard used batteries carefully.

Do not change batteries in front of children or let

them see where you keep your supply.

Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason

and never let a child obtain a battery or place it in

his or her mouth.

In case of ingestion, contact your physician imme-

diately.

The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergen-

ic materials. Still, in rare cases skin irritation can

occur. If you notice skin irritation in or around

your ear or ear canal, contact your hearing health-

care professional.

The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accu-

mulation of earwax, which can temporarily re-

duce your hearing ability. Contact your ENT doc-

tor if you suspect that a plug of earwax has accu-

mulated in your ear.

Please be aware that the use of any type of ear-

mould may involve a slightly increased risk of in-

fection in the ear canal. An infection can arise as

a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear or

scratches in the ear canal caused by the ear-

mould. Therefore, we recommend that you take

off your earmould at night to allow the ear canal

to be ventilated. Make sure that you clean and in-

spect your earmould as required. If an infection

occurs it is a good idea to clean your earmould

with a disinfecting tissue or the like. Do not un-

der any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine or

similar substances to clean your earmould.

When not in use

When your hearing aid is not in use, it should be

placed in the small case, which you can easily car-

ry in a pocket or purse.

Never expose the hearing aid to excessive heat,

such as leaving it on a window sill, near a radia-

tor or near a car window.
