Warnings

The intended use of hearing aids is to

amplify and transmit sound to the ears and

hereby compensate for impaired hearing.

The hearing aids (specially programmed for

each hearing loss) must only be used by the

intended person. They should not be used

by any other person as they could damage

hearing.

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.

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.

6 7

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.

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.

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.

Putting your hearing aids on your ears

Your hearing aids may be color-coded with an

indicator that is visible when the battery door is

open: red = right ear; blue = le ear.

Hearing aids with domes

1. Hold the wire where it

attaches to the dome and

gently push the dome into

your ear canal. The wire

should lie flush against your

head and not stick out.

2. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear.

3. Place the retention piece

in your ear so it rests at the

bottom of the opening of

your ear canal.

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.

10 11

Hearing aids with custom shells

1. Hold the custom shell

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

custom shell into your

ear. The shell should t

into your ear snugly and

comfortably.

3. Place the hearing aid over

the top of your ear.

Turning your hearing aids on and off

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 ﬁve seconds

before the hearing aid turns

on. Your hearing healthcare

professional can increase the

start up delay if required.

2. O f f : 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 off while it is on the

ear, grasp the top and bottom of

the hearing aid with your index

ﬁnger and thumb. Use the index

ﬁnger of your opposite hand to

open and close the battery door.

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.

Replacing the battery

1. Gently swing out the battery

door with your ngernail.

2. Push the battery with your

thumb and index nger

towards the open side, 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 edge of

the battery door. This will

ensure that the battery door

closes properly.

Note: If the battery is inserted

incorrectly, the hearing aid will

not turn on.

4. Close the battery door.

14 15

Caring for batteries

Always discard batteries in a safe and

environmentally friendly way.

To prolong battery life, remember to turn your

hearing aids o when not in use, especially

when asleep.

Remove the batteries and keep the battery door

open while hearing aids are not being worn,

especially when asleep. This will allow internal

moisture to evaporate.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for the

ﬁrst time

• Start in a quiet room at home rst to get

used to the new sound quality. Sounds like

the ticking of a clock, the humming of the

computer, the beep of the microwave or the

rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud

to you at rst, because you have not been

hearing them properly for a long time.

• Read aloud to yourself and learn to adjust

the volume of your own voice when you are

wearing the hearing aids.

• Talk to dierent people and learn how

to distinguish between dierent sound

patterns again.

• It will take some time before you are

completely used to your hearing aids and

can fully enjoy the benets.

• Wear your hearing aids for as many hours a

day as you can, and for a little longer each

day.
