Turning on and off

Your ReSound Match custom aid

is equipped with an on/off switch

integrated into the battery compartment.

Turn your hearing instrument on by closing

the battery door. Turn your instrument off

by opening up the battery door.

• Turning your instrument off when you are not using it will in-

crease the battery life.

• At night, turn off your instrument and open the battery door

completely. It will allow moisture in your instrument to

evaporate and will increase the instrument’s life span.

Low Battery Warning

The hearing instrument has a soft low-battery-warning signal

(beep-beep) that you will hear when the battery voltage/power

gets too low. The signal indicates you should replace the bat-

tery. We recommend that you always carry a spare battery with

you. The battery-warning signal will be repeated every 5-10 mi-

nutes until the battery runs out of power. The instrument will

then automatically turn off.

Changing the Battery

Open the battery compartment

completely, using your ﬁnger-

nail to pull back on the small

ridge located at the top of the

door. After removing the old

battery, insert the new one with

the“+” (ﬂat) side facing the “+”

on the battery door. Make sure

the battery has been placed

correctly into the slot.

Instrument type Battery type

- MA50-P, MA3T50-P, MA2T50-P 13 zinc-air

- MA30, MA30-P, MA2T30-P, MA1T30-P 312 zinc-air

- MA10-P, MA1T10-P, MA2T10-P 10A zinc-air

Please note that if the battery is weak, the hearing instrument

performance will be reduced. Removing the battery when you

are not wearing the instrument will help prevent corrosion of

the battery contacts and prolong battery life.

Battery Warning Information

Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be dis-

posed of carefully in the interest of your safety and for the

environment.

• Do NOT attempt to recharge batteries which are not speciﬁ-

cally designated rechargeable as they may leak or explode.

• Do NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.

• Keep batteries away from small children and pets.

Inserting your instrument

To insert the hearing instrument

into your ear:

1. Grip the instrument with your

thumb and foreﬁnger, either

above, below or on the sides

of the hearing instrument

(as shown).

The hearing instrument will have

a blue (left ear) or red (right ear)

coloured dot to indi cate which

ear it ﬁts. Please make sure that

this dot points upwards on the

CIC when insert ed into the ear

(see more on this on page 10).

2. Place the sound outlet portion

into your ear canal.

3. Insert the hearing instrument carefully with a slight “cork-

screw” motion.

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

When properly inserted, the instrument should ﬁt comfortably

and snugly in your ear. It is important that the custom shell ﬁts

correctly into your ear. If your hearing instrument irritates your

ear in any way and prevents you from wearing your hearing

instrument, please contact your hearing care professional to

have the custom shell modiﬁed. You should never attempt to

modify the shape of the custom shell yourself.

Removing your instrument

To remove the hearing instrument:

1. Gently massage behind your

earlobe with an upward and

downward motion to dislodge

the instrument.

2. By experimenting, you may ﬁnd

a method that is easier for you. Consult your hearing care

professional if you have difﬁculty removing the hearing in-

strument.

3. The CIC hearing instrument will have a removal cord

attached to it as it is smaller.

10 11

Recognising left and right instrument

Your hearing instrument is custom-made to ﬁt your ear. There-

fore, right and left instruments differ in shape.

Your hearing instrument is marked with either a left or right in-

dication:

• A left instrument has a blue wax guard or blue dot;

• A right instrument has a red wax guard or red dot.

This is easy to remember: Red = Right.

The colour dot must point upwards on the CIC instruments

when inserted into the ear.

Do not switch your hearing instruments. Please ensure you are

inserting the correct instrument into your ear.

Volume Control

There is a control on each hearing

instrument that enables you to in-

crease or decrease the volume. The

control style will vary depending

on the hearing instrument model.

CIC

The volume control is located in the

red trimmer on your CIC instrument.

To increase the volume in your CIC instrument, use a small screw

driver, or similar device, to turn the trimmer counter-clockwise.

To decrease the volume, turn the trimmer clockwise.

ITC & ITE

A circular volume control is located on the ITC and ITE hearing

instruments Use your index ﬁnger to press on the control.

To increase the volume with the instrument ﬁt to your ear, turn

the volume control wheel clockwise (towards the front of your

head). To reduce the volume, turn the volume control wheel

counter-clockwise (towards the back of your head.).

Please note that your instrument has been ﬁt by your hearing

care professional and that your hearing loss requires a certain

amount of ampliﬁcation. This will also effect how much you are

able to increase the volume on your instrument.

12 13

Pre-set Control (Trimmers)

Pre-set controls (Trimmers) are placed on top of your CIC, ITC or

ITE instrument (see illustrations on page 4 & 5) and will help your

hearing care professional adjust the setting of your hearing in-

strument according to the individual characteristics of your

particular hearing loss.

The pre-set controls will have been adjusted by your hearing

care professional during your ﬁtting session.

The control settings should therefore NOT BE ALTERED or read-

justed except by your hearing care professional.

Trimmer description

The 3 optional trimmers are color-coded. Each of these trim-

mers has adjustments on it that can be used to customize the

hearing instrument for your particular hearing loss.

care professional will select the appropriate trimmers based on

your hearing loss.

Telephone use

Using the telephone, while wearing

your hearing instrument, may re-

quire some practice. Many hearing

instruments will whistle when the

phone is held up against them.

Place the telephone receiver as

shown in the drawing. If you hear a “whistle” sound, try moving

the telephone receiver so it is not touching the hearing aid.

16 17

Daily Maintenance

Keep your hearing instrument clean

and dry. Wipe the case with a soft

cloth/brush or tissue after use to

remove oil or moisture. If the instru-

ment has been exposed to high hu-

midity or perspiration, enclose it in a sealed container together

with a drying agent (desiccant) overnight. Consult with your

hearing care professional regarding which drying agent to use.

To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:

• Never immerse the instrument in

water or other liquids since this

may cause permanent damage

to the circuitry.

• Protect your hearing instrument

from rough handling, and avoid

dropping it on hard surfaces or

ﬂoors.

• Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight

since excessive heat can damage the instrument or deform

the casing.

Cleaning the Microphone Sound Inlet

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

the sound inlet to remove dust, ear wax or other debris. The soft

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

this purpose. Consult your hearing care professional regarding

proper use of the tool.

Changing the Sound Outlet Filter/Cleaning the Sound Outlet

Your ReSound Match hearing instrument may be equipped with

a sound outlet ﬁlter (consult your hearing care professional).

This ﬁlter 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 ﬁlter may be blocked, and need to be chan-

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

change the ﬁlter. If your hearing instrument does not have a ﬁl-

ter, ear wax and/or other debris may collect in the sound chan-

nel. The cleaning loop, provided with your hearing instrument,

can easily 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 tu-

bing placed at the opening of the sound outlet. If this is pulled

out, the hearing instrument may need to be returned for repair.

Repairs

If your GN ReSound hearing instrument malfunctions, it must

be repaired by a qualiﬁed technician. Do not attempt to open

the case of the hearing instrument since this would invalidate

the warranty. If your GN ReSound hearing instrument requires

service, please contact your hearing care professional for assi-

stance.
