How your INFINITI Pro In-the-Ear

hearing instruments look like

Each hearing instrument can be identified by the serial

number, which is located on the outside of the instrument:

If the number is written in red, the hearing instrument is

for the right ear, and if the number is written in blue, this

hearing instrument is for the left ear.

Your hearing instruments are custom-made according to the

shape of your ears or ear canals.

Compare your hearing instruments with the following

diagrams.You will certainly recognize your hearing instrument

type, although the outer contours can vary.

How to insert your

In-the-Ear instruments

Hold your hearing instrument

between thumb and index

finger and carefully push the

instrument in the ear canal.

Now bring it into the correct

position by turning it slightly.

You may find it helpful to pull your

external ear slightly upwards or

to the rear.You may want to push

the instrument very gently with

your index finger. Once inserted,

you should feel that the hearing

instrument is correctly placed.

Now insert the other instrument

in the same way.

Tip:

Practice inserting your hearing instrument correctly.

One easy way to practice is to sit down at a table,

place a mirror in front of you and prop your

elbows on the table, so that you can move your

hands steadily and safely.This will help you to

stay comfortable and relaxed while you practice.

How to remove the instruments

from your ear

There are 2 ways to switch your instrument ON/OFF.

First way.

The battery compartment serves as an ON / OFF switch.

If you want to switch the instrument on, insert the battery

and simply close the battery compartment - the instrument

is now ready for use.

If you want to switch the instrument off, open the battery

compartment all the way.To make sure that the battery is

not being used unnecessarily, remove the battery from the

instrument.

Second way is by using the program button.

If the hearing instrument has already been operated it can

be switched off by pressing the program button for at least

2 sec.To switch it on again press the programm button for

at least 2 sec.The instrument diverts to programm “1”.

Every operation is acknowledged by beeps tones.

See chapter “Hearing instruments with program button”.

Switching the instrument on/off

Pull on your ear lobe to loosen

the instrument in your auditory

canal.You can now remove the

instrument, using the thumb and

index finger of your other hand.

You can use the tip of your finger

to push a small instrument out

from the auditory canal. If you

can open the battery compart-

ment with your fingernail while

the hearing instrument is still in your ear, use the battery

compartment to pull the instrument out from the ear.

Even smaller hearing instruments (CICs) can be removed by

pulling the small removal cord while slightly pressing to the

side on the ear canal.

Battery changing

When inserting the battery please pay attention to the

plus side on the battery.

The plus (+) side of the battery is always the smooth

side.You can recognise the minus (–) side by the

coloured ring.

You should always keep spare batteries

at hand.

If you feel you cannot change the battery yourself, ask

someone to help you: a family member, friend or your

hearing instrument specialist.

Zinc-air batteries are used

today almost exclusively in

hearing instruments to

minimise environmental

damage.These batteries

require oxygen for operation,

which they absorb from the

air.The battery is activated as

soon as the protective foil is pulled off and is used up even

if you do not use your hearing instrument.

You should always pull off the protective foil only when you

actually use the battery. Also, do not leave the batteries in

your INFINITI Pro hearing instruments if you do not use them

over a longer period of time.The batteries can leak and dam-

age the instruments.The batteries can last for a few days

up to several weeks according to the way they are used.

You can recognise when a change of batteries becomes

necessary, because your hearing instruments become

noticeably quieter towards the end of the battery’s life.Then

it is time for new batteries.Two warning tones sound once

per minute indicating that you must insert a new battery.

1 min.

Your hearing instrument specialist can switch off the warning

tones if required.

Zinc-air batteries which are almost completely used up show

the following behaviour: After switched on the instruments

function normally, but then rapidly become quieter.The more

the battery is used up, the faster the gain falls off.You must

then replace such batteries by new ones.

Handling batteries

Hearing instruments with a

program button

If you have chosen INFINITI Pro

hearing instruments with a selection

of programs, then you can adapt

your hearing instruments to a

changed hearing situation by lightly

pressing the program button. For

example, this can help you to better

understand the person you are

talking to, even when there are

interfering background noises.

Use this push button to choose one of the programs. When

you change the program, signal tones confirm the change:

One signal tone, when you switch over to program 1.

Two signal tones, when you switch over to program 2 (option).

Three signal tones, when you switch over to program 3 (option).

Your hearing instrument specialist can turn off these acoustic

tones if you do not wish to hear them.

The program button also gives you the possibility to switch

your instrument ON/OFF. See chapter “Switching the instrument

ON/OFF.

Program overview

Your hearing instrument specialist can show you how to use

your hearing instruments systematically.
