Your new digital ReSound AzureTM hearing instruments will enable

you to hear sounds that you may not have heard in years because of

your hearing loss. Practice and a positive attitude are important in

learning to use hearing instruments. While some people adjust quickly

to wearing hearing instruments in their ears and hearing the new

sounds, other people may need more time.

The intent of this user guide is to provide information on the many

aspects of using hearing instruments. Your hearing instruments have

been adjusted to your hearing loss by your hearing care professional.

Familiarising yourself with the functions of your new hearing instru-

ments will help you get optimal benet.

A hearing loss is typically acquired gradually over many years. You may

have become accustomed to an everyday life with fewer sounds, which

also means hearing less noise than people with normal hearing hear.

With your new hearing instruments you will experience many sounds

that you may not have heard for years. It will take time to get used to all

these sounds again. Some examples of these sounds are:

• The clock ticking

• Turning pages of the newspaper

• Children’s voices

• Whispers and soft speech

• Car noise

• Birdsong

• The sound of your own footsteps

If you are inexperienced with hearing instruments it is advisable to:

1. Use your hearing instruments every day

2. Wear your hearing instruments for just a couple of hours a day

during the rst week

3. Gradually increase the time you wear your hearing instruments.

It can take several months for your brain to get used to all the “new”

sounds around you. Start using your hearing instruments in mainly

quiet surroundings, and start with a comfortable volume (the hearing

care professional will ensure this). Listen to and get familiar with all

sounds in your home, such as a ticking clock, water running in the

sink, or silverware used on a plate. In quiet surroundings, converse

with a person you know well. Listen to a TV or radio at home. After

you have used the hearing instruments for a while you will be ready

for more demanding listening situations, like conversation with a

group of two or three people.

Your ReSound AzureTM ITC and ITE is equipped with an on/off switch

integrated into the battery compartment.

1. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is

turned on

2. To turn the instrument off, open the battery compartment. Many

individuals use their ngernail to pull it open.

3. Whenever you are not using the instrument, remember to turn it off

to stop battery consumption

SmartStart allows you to insert the instrument in your ear without

the hearing instrument squealing. It delays the switch-on time by 10

seconds after closing the battery compartment. A beep each second is

presented during this time.

ger (as shown), either above and below or on the

sides (as illustrated)

2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal

3. Insert the instrument into your ear canal



It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward

with your opposite hand while inserting.

By experimenting, you may nd a method that is easier for you.

When properly inserted, the instrument should t comfortably and

tightly in your ear. It is important that the custom shell ts correctly

into your ear. If the hearing instrument irritates your ear in any way

please contact your hearing care professional to have the custom

shell modied. You should never attempt to modify the shape of the

custom shell yourself.



Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.

Your ReSound Azure hearing instruments have a volume control.

When using the instrument, you can increase the volume by turning

the volume control forward (towards your face when you are wearing the

instrument), and reduce volume by turning it backward.

For each volume step, you will hear a “beep” signal indicating the change.

The loudness of the “beeps” will increase as you turn the volume up and

decrease as you turn it down. If you reach the upper or lower limit of the

volume control range, there will be a different type of “beep” signal with a

lower pitch.

Your hearing care professional may have activated a function in the hear-

ing instrument enabling the instrument to learn how you adjust

the volume control in different listening environments. As it learns your

volume preferences, the instrument eventually changes the volume for

you automatically. This function can be turned off or reset by your hear-

ing care professional.

You can have up to four different programmes on your hearing instru-

ment. The selection of programmes can be changed by your hearing

care professional.

1. You can switch between programmes by pushing the programme

selector once

2. You will then hear one or more “beeps”. The number of beeps indi-

cates which programme you have selected

3. You can always return to programme 1 by turning your instrument

off and then on again, or by placing it in stand-by mode and then

returning to its operating mode

In stand-by mode, the hearing instrument will not process sound or

deliver an acoustic signal to the ear. When in this mode, a small

amount of power will be used. To put the instrument in stand-by

mode, hold down the programme selector for 5 seconds. You will hear

a series of beeps and the device will be in stand-by mode. To return to

standard mode, press the programme selector once. This can only be

done after at least 5 seconds in the stand-by mode.

You can use the telephone with your hearing instruments. Using the

telephone while using your hearing instruments may require some

practice.

By selecting the optional telecoil programme you can improve un-

derstanding of speech when using a hearing instrument compatible

telephone. Rather than picking up the sound from the telephone,

this programme only picks up the telephone’s magnetic signal and

converts it to sound. Your hearing care professional can activate the

telecoil if your device has the optional telecoil available..

When using the telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone

should be held as shown in the drawing. You may need to move the

handset around slightly to nd the best reception.

If you do not wish to have a telecoil programme or if your instrument

does not have a telecoil, you may still use the phone while using your

hearing instrument. Hold the phone close to the front microphone of

the hearing instrument, but not directly on it. If it whistles, it may take

a few seconds for the instrument to adapt. If the whistling continues,

move the telephone 2-3 cm away from your ear. Some hearing instru-

ments also have an acoustic telephone program. This program might

decrease problems with acoustic feedback when using the telephone

If you use a cellular phone you may experience a buzzing or clicking

noise. This is caused by the strong signal of the cellular phone.

Consult with your hearing care professional for options to improve

the sound quality

Your hearing care professional can activate a Low Battery Warning

function in your hearing instruments. When the battery voltage/power

decreases to a certain level, the instrument will emit ve soft beeping

signals. This sequence will continue every ve minutes until the instru-

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

spare battery on hand.

1. Open the battery compartment completely by

using your ngernail

2. After removing the old battery, insert the new

one

3. Always use Zinc-Air battery. Your hearing care

professional can tell you which size battery you

need

It is important to insert the battery with

the positive side in the correct position.

The battery door has a + marking to help determine correct insertion.



Removing the battery when you are not wearing the instrument for a

longer period will help prevent corrosion of the battery contacts.

For proper function of the microphone, it is important to clean the

sound inlet to remove dust or other sound-disturbing debris. The soft

brush, provided with your hearing instrument, can be used for this

purpose. Your hearing care professional can instruct you on how to

properly use this tool.

Your ReSound AzureTM hearing instrument may be equipped with a

sound outlet lter (consult your hearing care professional). This lter is

located at the end of the sound outlet and prevents debris from getting

into the hearing instrument. If the hearing instrument seems to have

lost power, and changing the battery does not help, the lter may be

blocked, and needs to be changed. Your hearing care professional can

instruct you on how to change the lter.

If your hearing instrument does not have a lter, ear wax and/or other de-

bris may accumulate in the sound channel. The cleaning loop, provided

with your hearing instrument, can be used to remove this material. Your

hearing care professional can instruct you on how to properly use this

tool. When using this tool, be careful not to damage or pull the tubing

placed at the opening of the sound outlet. If this is pulled out, the hear-

ing instrument may need to be returned for repair.

1. Do not leave your hearing instrument in the sun, near an open re or

in a hot, parked car

2. Do not wear your instrument while showering, swimming, in heavy

rain or in a moist atmosphere such as steam bath or sauna

3. Should your hearing instrument become wet or moist, use the

drying kit that your hearing care professional has recommended.

Do not place the hearing instrument in a very warm place to remove

moisture (for example, the oven or use a hair dryer).

Direct or indirect heat can damage the instrument.

4. Remove your hearing instrument when applying such things as

cosmetics, perfume, aftershave, hair spray, and suntan lotion.

These might get into the instrument and cause damage.
