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.

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.

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.

3. Place the hearing aid over the top of your ear.

Hearing aids with slim tubes

1. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear. The

slim tube should lie flush

against your head and not

stick out.

2. Hold the slim tube where it

attaches to the dome and

gently push the dome into

your ear canal.

3. Place the retention piece

in your ear so it rests at the

bottom of the opening of

your ear canal.

Putting your hearing aids on your ears

Your hearing aids may be color-coded with a

small dot on the battery door: red = right ear;

blue = le ear.

Hearing aids with earmolds

1. Hold the earmold between

your thumb and index

nger. The opening should

be pointing in towards

your ear canal with

the hearing aid resting

upwards above your ear.

2. Carefully insert the

earmold in your ear.

You may need to twist

it slightly to the back.

The earmold should t

into your ear snugly and

comfortably. Gently pull

down and back on your

earlobe to help you insert

the earmold into your ear

canal more easily.

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.

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.
