This booklet & your instrument

In this booklet you will ﬁnd instructions for inserting and operating your new hearing instrument. You will

ﬁnd explanations for using your instrument and for daily handling. We will also give a few practical steps

towards better hearing.

Warning to hearing care professional

A hearing care professional should advise a prospective user to consult promptly with a licensed physi-

cian (preferably an ear specialist) before setting the instrument if the hearing care professional determines

through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information concerning the prospective

user that the prospective user has any of the following conditions:

(i) visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear;

(ii) history of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days;

(iii) history of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days;

(iv) acute or chronic dizziness;

(v) unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days;

(vi) audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15dB at 500 Hz (hertz), 1000 Hz, and

2000 Hz;

(vii) visible evidence of signiﬁcant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal;

(viii) pain or discomfort in the ear.

Important notice to prospective users

Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss has a medical evaluation by a licensed

physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before using a hearing aid such

as the Beltone Origin. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as

otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a medical evaluation is to assure

that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identiﬁed and treated before the hearing

instrument is used.

Switching on and off

Your instrument is equipped with an on/off switch integrated into the

battery compartment.

When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is turned

on.

To turn the instrument off, grasp the battery compartment door with

your ﬁngernail and gently pull downwards. The power will switch off at

the point where you can feel a small click.

• Switch your instrument off if you are not using it. This will increase the

battery life.

• At night, switch off your instrument and open the battery door com-

pletely. It allows moisture in your instrument to evaporate and will increase the instrument’s life span.

After switching on the device, the volume will be as set by your hearing care practitioner.

Your instrument has a push button to switch programs. If you close the battery door your instrument will

always start in program number 1. Read more on this subject in the Program Button section.

Delayed Activation

Your hearing care professional may have activated the Delayed Activation function in your hearing instru-

ment. The Delayed Activation function delays the turn-on time by 10 seconds after closing the battery door.

This is indicated by beeps in the receiver at one second intervals when the battery door is closed, meaning

that 10 beeps will be heard before the hearing instrument is activated.

If you wish, this function can be deactivated by your hearing care professional.

Battery door lock

Your hearing care professional can install a Left/Right side indicator (Blue=Left, Red=Right), which can be

used to lock the battery door. Once locked, the instrument can only be turned off once the instrument is

unlocked.

To lock the battery door:

1. Close the battery door

2. Using the battery door locking tool, slide the color marker to the right.

To unlock the battery door:

Slide the color marker to the left.

Low Battery Indication and changing batteries

Low battery indication

Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give

an acoustical indication when the battery is reaching its end of life. The

hearing instrument will reduce ampliﬁcation and emit a melody if battery

power gets too low. This signal will recur every 5 minutes for OR65/75/85

models, and every 15 minutes for BO95 model, until the hearing instru-

ment automatically switches off. It is recommended that you keep spare

batteries on hand.

Changing batteries

Open the battery compartment completely by using your ﬁngernail. Use

the magnetic end of the cleaning brush for easy battery removal and in-

sertion.

When replacing the battery, always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a

minimum remaining shelf-life of 1 year.

The 65 model uses a size 312 battery.

The 75 and 85 models use a size 13 battery.

The 95 model uses a size 675 battery.

Warnings i

Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be disposed of carefully in the interest of your safety

and for the environment.

• Keep batteries away from children and mentally challenged persons.

• Do not place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been swallowed,

as they can be harmful to your health.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not speciﬁcally designated rechargeable, as

they may leak or explode.

• Do not burn the batteries, as they could explode.

• Replace spent batteries and do not leave them in the instrument for a prolonged period, to prevent

leakage.

• Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local regulations or

return them to your hearing care practitioner.

• Remove the batteries to prevent leakage when the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended

period of time.

• Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid unnecessary bat-

tery consumption.

Inserting and removing the instrument

(standard earmould)

Inserting the instrument

• With the battery door opened in the off position, take the earmould bet-

ween thumb and index ﬁnger and position its ‘point’ in your ear canal.

Now, slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting

movement.

Insertion can be easier if you gently pull your auricle backwards with

your other hand.

• Turn the top-part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so

that it ﬁts behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.

• Place the hearing instrument behind your ear. Move the earmould up

and down and press gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in the ear.

Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion. You will feel when

the earmould is positioned correctly.

• When correctly positioned, switch on your instrument by closing the bat-

tery door.

• You can also insert the hearing instrument while in the on position. Howe-

ver, doing this might result in some feedback (whistling).

14 15

Removing your instrument

• Switch off the instrument by shifting the battery door to the ‘off’ position.

• Lift the hearing instrument from behind the ear. For a moment, let it hang beside your ear.

• Using your thumb and index ﬁnger, gently pull the earmould not the instrument or the tubing) loose from

the ear.

• Remove the earmould completely by gently twisting it.

Inserting and removing the instrument

(ThinTube)

Inserting the instrument

• Hang the instrument over the top of the ear.

• Grasp the sound tube where it bends. The dome should be placed far

enough into the ear that the sound tube lies ﬂush with your head. When

the dome is placed appropriately, you should not see the sound tube

sticking out when you look directly into a mirror.

• If the device whistles, the most likely reason is that the dome is not pla-

ced correctly in the ear canal. Other reasons can be buildup of earwax

in the ear canal, or that the sound tube connection to the instrument

has become loose, in which case the sound tube must be changed. It

is also possible that the instrument settings are not optimal. If you have

ruled out other reasons for the instrument squealing, it is recommen-

ded to contact your hearing care professional.

iNever attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, ear-

moulds, or tubing yourself.

Recognising left and right instrument

If you have two hearing instruments, they may be tuned differently. One for your left ear, the other for your

right. Do not swap them. Please pay attention to this when cleaning, storing and inserting the instruments.

• You might want to ask your hearing care practitioner to mark your

instruments with a coloured Left and Right indication: Left is blue

and Right is red.

Setting the volume

75 (BTE), 85 (Power BTE), and 95 (Super Power BTE)

Your instrument has a manual volume control. The volume control wheel provides you with the ability to

adjust the ampliﬁcation to your liking.

Use your index ﬁnger to adjust the volume, rolling the wheel up or down to increase or decrease the volume.

• If you prefer not to use the volume wheel, your hearing care practitioner can switch the volume control

off.

Program button

Your hearing instrument has a program button allowing you to use up to

four different listening programs, each of them suitable for certain situ-

ations.

After pressing the program button, the instrument will switch programs.

If it was in program 1 it will switch to program 2, if it was in program 2 it

will switch to program 3 etc. If program 2, 3 or 4 are not activated, noth-

ing will happen. Your instrument will give an audible signal after pressing

the program button:

• one single beep if set in program 1

• two beeps if set in program 2

• three beeps if set in program 3

• four beeps if set in program 4

When you close the battery door and switch the instrument on it will start

in program 1, conﬁrmed by one single beep.

Press the program button if you want to move to a different listening

program.

Let your hearing care professional ﬁll out the following table:

Telephone use

Your hearing instrument allows you to use the telephone as you ordinarily do. Hold

the phone up to your ear as you normally would. It is possible you will hear clearer

if you hold the phone towards the top of your ear (closer to where the microphones

are located).

If you experience discomfort from the dome pressing in your ear canal, you may

need a different size sound tube or dome. In this case contact your hearing care

professional.

Your hearing care professional can design a telephone program that you can switch to when using the

phone. This program is designed to ease listening on a phone. If you have a hearing instrument with a pro-

gram button, you can switch to this program manually. Your hearing care professional can also enable the

Autophone function to switch to the telephone program automatically. Additionally, your hearing instrument

may contain a Telecoil program for telephone use.
