Introduction

Thank you for choosing our hearing aids. We recommend that you use your hearing aids every day.

This way you will fully benefit from them.

NOTE: Read this booklet carefully before you start using your hearing aids.

Intended use

Generic air-conduction hearing aids are wearable sound-amplifying devices intended to compensate

for impaired hearing. The fundamental operating principle of hearing aids is to receive, amplify, and

transfer sound to the eardrum of a hearing impaired person.

For devices including a Tinnitus Sound Generator module

The Tinnitus Sound Generator module is a tool to generate sounds to be used in a Tinnitus

Management Program to temporarily relieve patients suffering from Tinnitus.

How to get your hearing aid ready for use

Replacing the battery

1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail. Remove

the used battery if present.

2. Prepare the new battery. Remove the protective foil to activate the

battery. Wait for 2 minutes before inserting the battery into the

hearing aid.

8How to get your hearing aid ready for use

3. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the correct position.

Always insert the battery in the door: never directly into the hearing

aid. Gently close the battery door.

NOTE: Always use new zinc-air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of one year.

When the hearing aid is not in use, open the battery door to turn it off. Open the battery door completely

to allow moisture to evaporate and prolong the hearing aids’ lifespan.

If the hearing aids are experiencing frequent loss of connection to wireless accessories, contact your

hearing care professional for a list of low impedance batteries.

Battery warnings

• Zinc-air batteries can be harmful to your health:

– Do not place batteries in your mouth.

How to get your hearing aid ready for use 9

– Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been swallowed, as they can be harmful to your

health.

– Keep batteries away from children, mentally disabled persons, and pets.

• Batteries may leak. Remove the battery if you leave the hearing aids unused for longer periods.

• Do not recharge zinc-air batteries – they may leak or explode.

• If the batteries are not inserted correctly, the device will not work and the batteries may build up

heat. If this happens, please remove the batteries.

• Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.

Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local

regulations or return them to your hearing care professional.

NOTE: Always use new zinc-air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of one year.

Low battery warning

When the batteries are low on power, your hearing aids reduce the volume, and play a melody every

15minutes, until they are empty and turn off.

NOTE: Keep spare batteries on hand.
