Specific function
audifon hearing aids are wearable air conduction hearing aids,
used to compensate for hearing loss of the wearer by recording,
processing and emitting an amplified sound signal. The hear-
ing aids are available with dierent amplifications and output
sound levels, to compensate for light to severe hearing loss.
These hearing aids are not suitable for children under 36 months
of age.
It is additionally possible to activate the tinnitus module inte-
grated in the hearing aid to treat chronic, persistent tinnitus
(a ringing sound in the ears).
The hearing aids are designed for a lifespan of 6 years.
Hearing aids need to be fitted individually by a hearing care
professional or ENT doctor. Diagnostics and the prescription
of hearing aids are the task of 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 faults. If
you follow the instructions, your hearing aids will prove an
invaluable help in day-to-day communication with your
surroundings and 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.
Please take note of the following:
Your hearing aid will not make your hearing normal again, nor
will it prevent or improve any physical hearing loss. If you fail to
wear your hearing aid regularly, you will not benefit fully from it.
Use of a hearing aid only accounts for part of your hearing ability
and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and
instruction in lip reading.
If you have any further questions, please contact your hearing
care professional.

. Batteries
To start your hearing aids first insert a battery in the battery
compartment.
Make sure you only use zinc air batteries. Please follow the
instructions on the battery packaging. For the exact type of
battery in your hearing aids please see the overview table.
Always switch your hearing aids o after use. Remove the
battery if your instruments are out of use for long periods, to
avoid damage.
 YOUR HEARING AID
. Type
Your hearing aids are behind-the-ear hearing aids.

.. Note on the battery
A zinc air battery is used to supply the power for your hearing
aids. This type of battery is only activated when oxygen comes
through the air holes into the button cell and the chemical
reaction is started. 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 activated.
.. Low battery warning
An audible signal indicates the end of the battery life (approx.
30 minutes before the end of the battery’s life).
Important notes:
Refitting the strip when the battery is not
in use will not extend its service life.
Your batteries 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 neces-
sar y.
Never carry batteries loose in a trouser pocket or a purse.
Metal objects like coins or keys could cause batteries to
short-circuit.
Old batteries may contain hazardous substances or heavy
metals that pollute the environment and harm health. Bat-
teries are recycled as they contain valuable raw materials
such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel. Old batteries should
not be placed in household waste. Consumers are bound
to dispose of batteries at a collection point provided by the
local authority or sales outlet. After use you can also return
the batteries in the appropriate containers at the premises
of your hearing care professional for free.

 CARE INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 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.
We also recommend that you carry out daily care on your
hearing aids, as the devices are exposed to moisture and dust
through intended use, even if they are handled with care.
Whatever type of hearing aid you use: Every one is in direct
contact with the skin. This produces perspiration, which 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, known as the nanoShield, 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.

dry go
The audifon dry go is the perfect solution for drying your devices
when on trips or out and about. Once connected, for example to
the USB port on your laptop, the drying program can be conve-
niently started at the touch of a single button. A flow of warm
air inside the audifon dry go will then dry your devices reliably.
The drying station switches o
automatically at the end
of the drying program.
dry star UV 
The audifon dry star UV 2 will dry your tinnitus instruments
gently yet thoroughly thanks to the constant circulation of uni-
formly warm air inside the casing. At the same time, the UVC
radiation used here will kill 99.9% of all common bacteria.
The audifon dry star UV 2 is not only automatic but al-
so consumes very little power, switching itself o at
the end of the drying program. The drying station is
simple to operate using a single sensor button.
. Drying hearing aids
Your hearing aids should be dried after use at the end of the day
and above all after cleaning. If you take care of your hearing aids
by drying them carefully, this will significantly increase their
service life. There are two ways of doing this. If you have an
audifon drying station of the type dry star UV 2 or dry go, use
this for drying. Take note of the individual product instructions
for further details. Alternatively, you can dry your hearing aids
in the audifon pro care Drying-Tub with an audifon Drying-
Capsule.

 DEALING WITH PROBLEMS
If you experience any malfunctions when using your hear-
ing 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 o”
Section 3.4),
•the battery is not weak or flat,
•the volume 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!
Despite their EMC-compatible design, your devices may
be subject to interference from other electrical equipment.
In this case move away from the source of interference.
Warning: Risk of suocation!
Batteries, hearing aids and other small parts can be swal-
lowed. Keep such parts out of the reach of children under
36 month years of age, the mentally disabled and pets.
Should a battery, hearing aid or other small parts be acci-
dentally swallowed, please consult a doctor immediately.
Warning: Risk of injury!
In 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 tinnitus combi instrument lies in
a range that can lead to hearing loss according to OSHA regu-
lations. The tinnitus combi instrument should not be used for
longer than eight (8) hours, at a sound pressure level (SPL) of
less than 90 dB SPL. At a higher sound pressure, the device
should not be used for more than two (2) hours daily. Under no
circumstances should the tinnitus combi instrument be used
with a volume that is not appropriate for the user.
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).
 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
. Important warnings
3534

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 man-
ufacturer (dome, tubing, etc.) and accessories. Unauthor-
ised changes or modifications that have not been explicitly
approved may in the worst-case scenario result in injury.
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 use of mobile devices. In case 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.
