Features of your Ziel™ Hearing

Instrument

Ziel digital hearing instruments come equipped with

the following features:

• Feedback manager

• Noise reduction

• Manual digital volume control

It may take some time for you to fully adjust to your

new hearing instruments. In the beginning, do not feel

as though you need to wear them for longer than is

comfortable. Depending on your previous experience

with hearing instruments, increase wearing time

gradually until you have fully adjusted to them.

Eventually, you should wear your Ziel hearing

instruments all day every day.

Please consult your hearing healthcare professional

regarding any adjustments you may require to ensure

that you are happy with your hearing instrument.

Putting your Hearing Instruments on

your Ears

Your BTE hearing instrument may be color-coded red

for your right ear and blue for your left ear. This color

indicator is located on the bottom of the battery door

with a small colored dot.

1. Hold the ear mold between your thumb and index

finger. The opening should be pointing in towards

your ear canal with the BTE resting upwards over

the top of your ear. Carefully insert the earmold in

your ear. You may need to twist it slightly

clockwise. The earmold should fit into your ear

snugly and comfortably.

2. Place the hearing instrument over the top of your

ear.

Turning your Hearing Instruments On

an Off

Your hearing instruments have a three-position

battery door that acts as an off/on switch and that

allows access to the battery compartment.

ON:

To turn the hearing instrument on, close the battery

door fully. Note: Your hearing instrument has a

start up delay of approximately 9 seconds.

OFF:

To turn the hearing instrument off, partially open the

battery door. This position allows excess moisture to

vent away from the battery compartment.

on off open

Battery Information

To replace the hearing instrument battery, fully open the

battery door for access to the battery compartment.

Low Battery Warning

When you hear two long beeps, your hearing

instruments are warning you that their batteries are

low. After the first warning, you may experience some

reduction in sound quality. This is normal and can be

remedied by inserting fresh batteries in the hearing

instruments.

Replacing the Battery

1. Gently swing out the battery door with your

fingernail.

2. Grasp the battery with your thumb and index finger

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

Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4

edge of the battery door. This will ensure that the

battery door closes properly.

Note: If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the

door will not close.

4. Close the battery door.

Tamperproof Battery Compartment

Your hearing instrument may have a tamperproof

battery compartment.

1. Unlock the tamperproof

battery compartment by

pulling the white lever with

your fingernail and lift the

lever up to release the

battery. Remove the battery.

2. 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. Lower the lever onto the battery and

push it until it is locked and securely holds the

battery tight.

3. 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 devices off when not in use.

• Remove the batteries and keep the battery door

open while hearing devices are not in use. This will

allow internal moisture to evaporate.

Operating Instructions

Your Ziel hearing instruments may come equipped

with a function button allowing you to switch between

the available Microphone, Telecoil and DAI programs.

Program Beeps

Ziel+ hearing instruments will beep to indicate

that you have changed listening programs. You

will hear a beep each time you change programs using

the program button.

Volume Control

Your Ziel digital hearing instruments have a

volume control. The volume control lever is

located on the outer spine. The volume control will

beep once each time the volume is raised or lowered.

Press the volume control lever inwards to increase the

volume or pull it downwards to decrease the volume.
