Warnings

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 warnings

Be sure the magnet is securely axed to the

telephone.

Keep loose magnets out of reach of children

and pets.

If the magnet falls into your ear, contact your

hearing healthcare professional.

If the magnet is swallowed, contact your

physician immediately.

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, floppy disks or

other magnetically sensitive devices.

6 7

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.

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 ear mold.

Labeling

The serial number and year of manufacture are

located inside the battery door.

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.

Battery warnings

Never leave hearing aids or batteries 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.

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.

8 9

Putting your hearing aids on your ears

Your hearing aids may be color-coded with a

small dot that is visible when the battery door is

open: red = right ear; blue = le ear.

Hearing aids with domes

1. Hold the wire where it

attaches to the dome and

gently push the dome into

your ear canal. The wire

should lie flush against your

head and not stick out.

2. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear.

3. Place the retention piece

in your ear so it rests at the

bottom of the opening of

your ear canal.

Hearing aids with custom shells

1. Hold the custom shell

between your thumb and

index nger. The opening

should be pointing in

towards your ear canal

with the hearing aid

resting above your ear.

2. Carefully insert the

custom shell into your

ear. The shell should t

into your ear snugly and

comfortably.

3. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear.

10 11

Turning your hearing aids on and o

Your hearing aids have a three-position battery

door that acts as an on/o switch and that

allows access to the battery compartment.

1. On: Close the battery door

fully.

Note: It may take 5 seconds

before the hearing aid turns

on. Your hearing healthcare

provider can increase the

start up delay if required.

2. O: Partially open the

battery door.

3. Open: Fully open the

battery door to access and

change the battery.

Note: When turning your

hearing aid on and o while

it is on the ear, grasp the top

and bottom of the hearing

aid with your index nger and

thumb. Use the index nger

of your opposite hand to open

and close the battery door.

Battery information

To replace the battery, fully open the battery

door for access to the battery compartment.

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 in the hearing

aids.

If you are not able to 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.

12 13

Replacing the battery

1. Gently swing out the battery

door with your ngernail.

2. Grasp the battery with your

thumb and index nger and

remove.

3. Insert the new battery into the

battery compartment with the

plus (+) sign on the battery

facing the same way as the

plus (+) sign on the edge of

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.

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.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for the

rst time

• Start in a quiet room at home rst to get

used to the new sound quality. Sounds like

the ticking of a clock, the humming of the

computer, the beep of the microwave or the

rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud

to you at rst, because you have not been

hearing them properly for a long time.

• Read aloud to yourself and learn to adjust

the volume of your own voice when you are

wearing the hearing aids.

• Talk to dierent people and learn how to

distinguish between dierent sound patterns

again.

• It will take some time before you are

completely used to your hearing aids and can

fully enjoy the benets.

• Wear your hearing aids for as many hours a

day as you can, and for a little longer each

day.

• Make notes at the back of this booklet,

write down dicult situations and describe

what any unpleasant noises were like. This

information will help your hearing healthcare

professional to ne-tune the hearing aids

better for your needs.

• Involve your family and friends in this

familiarization period. For example,

ask someone to set the television to a

comfortable volume.

• When you are beginning to get used to

wearing the hearing aids, wear them in more

dicult listening environments such as the

oce, at parties or in restaurants. This can

be dicult even for people who can hear

normally. Give yourself time to regain your

ability to hear in these dicult situations.

• Make your hearing aids part of your everyday

life and be patient with yourself while you are

learning to hear sounds correctly.
