Intended use
A Hearing aid can be adjusted across all sound frequencies to
help anyone cope with hearing loss. Personal uncomfortable
sound levels are measured so that an individualise setting can be
programmed to enhance speech clarity in both quite and noisy
environment which will greatly reduce listening eort.
The hearing aids are typically designed to last for up to 6
years. Factors aecting the lifespan of the aid are listed in
the Safety Instructions for use guide.
All Hearing aids including a Tinnitus noiser function must be
individually fitted by a Hearing Care professional or an ENT
doctor.

 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new audifon hearing
aids. Your hearing care professional has set this for your
individual requirements. These instructions are therefore
intended to help you use your audifon hearing aids properly.
Please read through the following operating and care
instructions carefully to avoid malfunctions and damage.
If you follow the instructions, your hearing aids will prove
an invaluable help in day-to-day communication in your
surroundings and with other people.
The specific model of your hearing aids is shown on the sticker on
the packaging, on the warranty card or printed on the hearing
aids themselves.
A hearing aid cannot restore your hearing to normal or cure
your hearing loss and neither will it make your hearing worse.
However, a hearing aid will go a long way to restoring normal
hearing levels for many of those activities you may have been
missing out on. Hearing aids are the treatment of choice for
most types of hearing loss.
If you have any further questions, please contact your hearing
care professional.

Make sure you only use zinc air battery. Please follow the
instructions on the battery packaging. For the exact size of
battery to use in your hearing aids please see the overview table.
Always switch your hearing aids OFF after use. To avoid damage,
remove the battery if you do not intend to use the hearing aids

.. Low battery warning.. Information on battery
A zinc air battery is used to supply power for your hearing aids.
This type of battery is only activated when oxygen comes
through the air holes into the button cell and a chemical
reaction is initiated. During production, the air holes are sealed
with a protective strip. This means that the battery remains
fresh until use, and it lasts longer when it is sealed. Removing
the protective strip allows oxygen to enter and the chemical
reaction is initiated.
Refitting the strip when the battery is not in use will not
extend its service life.
Battery should be stored at room temperature.
Avoid keeping them in hot places or rooms with high
humidity (e.g. bathroom). Storage in a cooled location is not
necessary.
Used batteries are considered hazardous materials and
contain toxic materials, should never be disposed of in the
trash. Ask about recycling programs in your area where
you live or return them to your hearing care professional to
dispose them appropriately.
Further safety instructions can be found on the battery
packaging.
audifon hearing aids are equipped with a low battery signal
which can be heard as a series of beeps approximately
30 minutes before the end of the battery life. The wireless
function will be switched o, when the battery becomes empty.

 CARE INSTRUCTIONS
. General
audifon hearing aids will improve your hearing ability as well
as your quality of life. To ensure your hearing aids function
perfectly and so make hearing a pleasant experience for years
to come, audifon oers special care products designed to enable
optimum cleaning of your devices.
Protect your hearing aids against moisture (e.g. showers, sweat,
rain), and take your hearing aids out before using hairspray or
similar cosmetic products.
No matter what type of hearing aid you use, we also recommend
carrying out daily care on them as these devices are exposed to
moisture and dust through intended use, even when handled
with care: Each one is in direct contact with the skin. Resulting
perspiration may damage your hearing aid in the long term
unless dried on a daily basis. audifon’s behind-the-ear hearing
aids are coated with a water-repellent finish to prevent any
damage from moisture.
Wearing a hearing aid or insertion of the ear adapter piece in the
ear canal will always involve soiling with earwax. For this reason
we recommend regular cleaning. Do not use a damp cloth to
clean your hearing aids. Always use a soft, dry cloth.
Should your hearing aid still not function correctly despite
regular care, call on your hearing care professional.
Do not try under any circumstances to repair your hearing aid
yourself.
The hearing aids belonging to the lewi and risa families are
compatible with standard smartphones equipped with
Bluetooth version 4.0 or higher. The MULTISTREAMER PRO
accessory may be required for audio transmission
(e.g. for smartphones with an Android operating system).
For a list of smartphones, tablets etc. that are compatible with
the hearing aids in the lewi and risa ranges and the audifon App,
please visit:
www.audifon.com
. Intended use of the receiver module and dome
Intended use of the receiver module
audifon receiver modules are an accessory available for all
audifon-RITE hearing aids. Their purpose is to convert the
electrical signal from the hearing aid amplifier into an acoustic
signal which is emitted within the ear canal.
The size and shape of the receiver module ensure secure and
correct positioning of the hearing aid within the ear.
Intended use of the dome
audifon domes are an accessory available for audifon hearing
aids and noisers. They are part of the replaceable sound
transmission system (receiver module and ThinTube) and keep
the sound tube and receiver module in position within ear canal,
thereby contributing to securing the hearing aid or noiser within
the ear.

. Cleaning and care of behindtheear hearing aids with
an external receiver
Hearing aids with an external receiver have special requirements
in terms of cleaning and care. Please proceed as follows:
To clean your hearing aids on the outside, either use an audifon
Pro Care Cleaning-Tissue or a soft, dry, lint-free cloth which you
have moistened with audifon Pro Care Cleaning-Spray. Rub your
hearing aid carefully with a tissue or cloth. This will remove
soiling and residues of earwax quickly and easily. When handling
the external receiver, please take special care. Make sure that
moisture does not get into the microphone inlets of the hearing
aid.
. Changing the dome
It is easy to change the dome if required.
Use your finger nail to hold the lower end of the dome, and pull
the dome o. Then fit the new dome to the receiver. Make sure
you slide it far enough on to the receiver. Dispose of the old
dome.
The dome is made of soft silicone, approved for medical use.
It must be changed regularly, depending on the frequency of
use.
We recommend it is changed at least once a month.
3332

. Daily care
Regular cleaning and care of your hearing aids will significantly
prolong their life and increase the time between repairs.
You can obtain a “pro care” cleaning and care program from your
audiologist; this program will be specially designed for your type
of hearing aid.
We recommend the use of “pro care” cleaning cloths for daily
cleaning of your hearing aid. Be sure to remove any ear wax
adhering to the hearing aid. If you need a clean new dome,
simply replace the old dome with a new one. You can obtain a
suitable dome from your audiologist. For this, see Section 7.3
Changing the dome.
Use an audifon drying system for daily drying of your hearing
aids. This makes an eective contribution to avoiding damage to
your hearing aids.
3534
. Changing the earwax protection filter
Hearing aids with an external receiver feature protection filters
to prevent earwax being deposited inside the receiver. It is
necessary to regularly change the filter to ensure your hearing
aids function perfectly. To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
First remove the dome from the
receiver module and clean it.
Remove the replacement tool from the
filter dispenser and slide it into the filter.
Pull out the filter with a gentle turning
motion.
Turn the changing tool. At the other end
of the changing tool is a new filter.
Press the new filter with the changing tool
into the filter opening of the hearing aid
until it clicks into place. Then simply pull
out the replacement tool and dispose of it.

 TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience any malfunctions when using your hearing
aids, this does not necessarily mean that they are faulty.
Therefore first check your hearing aid to make sure that:
•the hearing aid is switched ON (see
"Switching ON and OFF" Section 3.4),
•the batteries are not weak or dead,
•the volume control is not at the lowest setting
(increase the volume slightly if necessary),
•the right program has been set (change
program if necessary),
•the receiver unit / earwax protection system is not blocked.
If this does not eliminate the fault, consult your hearing care
professional, who will be pleased to help you.
Note: Malfunctions!
Your devices may be subject to interference from other
electrical equipment despite their EMC-compatible design.
In this case move away from the source of interference.

 SAFETY INFORMATION
. Important warnings
Warning: Risk of suocation!
Batteries, hearing aids and other small parts can be
swallowed. For this reason, these hearing aids are not
intended for use by children under 36 months of age.
Never leave children unattended with your hearing aids!
Should a battery, hearing aid or other small parts be
accidentally swallowed, please consult a doctor immediately.
Warning: Risk of injury!
In some very rare cases the dome may remain in the
ear canal on removal. Should this happen, please
contact your doctor or hearing care professional at
once. Please do not try to remove the dome yourself.
Warning: Damage to hearing!
The maximum volume of the noiser modul is in a
range that may lead to hearing loss according to OSHA
regulations. For users without hearing loss, the noiser
modul should not exceed sound pressure levels above
70 dB SPL (as measured at a 2cc coupler). For users
with hearing loss, the hearing loss needs to be taken
into consideration when adjusting the noise levels.
Under no circumstances should the noiser module be
used at a volume that is uncomfortable to the user.
For sound pressure levels up to 80 db SPL (as measured
at the 2cc coupler) the noiser module can be used for
up to 8 hours daily. For higher sound pressure levels,
the uncritical duration of applications is reduced.
The noiser modul should not be used for more than
2 hours daily at higher sound pressure levels.

Warning: Risk of injury!
Always wear your reciever unit with the appropriate Dome
or customized earmold and check that they are securely
positioned on reciever unit.

specified by the manufacturer. Do not dry your hearing aid
in the microwave under any circumstances.
Note: Damage to hearing aid!
No modifications should be made to the hearing aids unless
performed directly by the manufacturer.
Higher sound levels and/or longer times of application
might harm the hearing ability over time.
Warning: Risk of explosion!
Do not use hearing aids in environments where
there is a risk of explosion (e.g. in mines or
industrial plants subject to such risk).
Warning: Risk of injury!
Hearing aids are adjusted to the individual hearing loss
of each wearer and should therefore only be used by this
person.
If the hearing aid is worn by other persons, this may harm
their hearing.
Warning: Risk of injury!
Please only use genuine consumables specified by the
manufacturer (dome, tubing, etc.) and accessories.
Unauthorised changes or modifications that have not been

injur y.
Warning: Interference with active and inactive
implants!
If you have an active or inactive implant (e.g. defibrillator,
pacemaker), follow the implant manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of mobile devices. In the event of
malfunctions, stop using your hearing aid and contact your
doctor or the implant manufacturer.
If you have an active brain implant, ask your doctor or the
implant manufacturer for a risk analysis.
