NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual
is provided describing the various ear-set solutions available
for your hearing aid: “Ear-sets for Coselgi™ BTE hearing aids”
WARNING
This booklet and the manual “Ear-sets for Coselgi™ BTE hear-
ing aids” contain important information and instructions. Read
these booklets carefully before you start using the hearing aid.
NOTE
Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look ex-
actly as illustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to
make any changes considered necessary.

7
Intended use
The Melodia hearing aids are intended as air conduc-
tion amplification devices to be used in everyday listen-
ing environments.
Indications for use
The devices are indicated for individuals with a range of
hearing loss severity from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe
(90 dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care
professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, oto-
laryngologists) who are trained in hearing (re)habilita-
tion.
Description of device
Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists
of a tube and an ear-tip, dome or earmold. The hear-
ing aid uses a proprietary wireless technology to ena-
ble communication between the left and the right hear-
ing aids, as well as between the hearing aids and its
accessories.

The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 bat-
tery for the hearing aid.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note
of the expiration date and the recommendations on the
battery pack regarding disposal of used batteries.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery into the hear-
ing aid, remember to remove the adhesive
tab. Once the tab has been removed, wait
60 seconds before placing the battery into
the hearing aid.
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or
other unwanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid
to malfunction.
Use the nail grip to gently swing the bat-
tery drawer open.

10
Place the battery in the drawer, so that the plus (+) sign
on the battery faces upward. You can use the battery
magnet provided to steer the battery into place.
If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery is
incorrectly inserted.
When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the
hearing aid over a table.
The hearing aid may be provided with a special battery
drawer, helping to secure the battery in the drawer. This
type of drawer can be a good choice if the hearing aid
is worn by a child.

11
Low battery indication
An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-
bled (see page 8). We recommend that you always
have a spare battery with you.
WARNING
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhaust-
ed batteries may leak, damaging the hearing aid.
WARNING
Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the
battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in
particular when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent
on warning signals.

12
Turning the hearing aid on and off
The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions as
the on/off switch.
Push the switch upwards to turn on the
hearing aid. An acoustic indicator will
indicate that the hearing aid has been
switched on unless this function has been
disabled.
Push the switch downwards to turn off the
hearing aid.
The word “OFF” is clearly visible on the
switch when the hearing aid is turned off.
Please remember to turn off the hearing aid when it is
not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will not
be used for several days.
OFF

13
Positioning the hearing aid
Insert the earpiece in the ear canal while holding the
lower part of the tube. It may help to pull the outer ear
backwards and upwards with the opposite hand.
Place the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the hear-
ing aid and tube rest comfortably on the ear, close to
your head.
The illustrations show an open dome. For further infor-
mation on ear-tip/dome/earmold types, anchors and
procedures, see the separate ear-set user manual pro-
vided.

14
Removing the hearing aid
Remove the hearing aid from its position behind the
ear.
Carefully pull the earpiece out of the ear canal, while
holding the lower part of the tube. If the earpiece is
provided with an extraction cord, take hold of this and
carefully pull the earpiece out of the ear canal.

15
Volume adjustment
The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in ac-
cordance with your sound environment.
Your hearing aid may furthermore
be provided with a volume control,
shaped like a small lever.
Push the lever upward to gradually
raise the volume.
Push the lever downwards to gradually lower the vol-
ume.
In the default setting, any volume adjustment will affect
both hearing aids.
Each time you operate the volume control, you will
hear a beep-tone unless this function has been disa-
bled. When the maximum or minimum adjustment lev-
el is reached, a steady tone will sound.

16
CAUTION
If the volume in the hearing aid is generally too loud or too
weak, or the reproduced sounds are distorted, or if you would
like any further information, consult your hearing care profes-
sional.
To turn off the sound completely
• Keep pressing the volume control lever downwards
until the steady tone has sounded
To turn the sound on again
• Press the lever upwards or
• Change listening program
Any adjustment of the volume setting will be canceled
when your hearing aid is turned off, or when you
change program.
If you wish to have the volume control disabled, please
consult your hearing care professional.

17
Listening programs
Your hearing aid may be provided with several of the
following programs. The number of programs avail-
able depends on your specific hearing aid.
Main Standard
Music For listening to music
TV For listening to the TV
Relax Attenuates background noise
Rearview Focus on sounds from behind
Phone For listening to the telephone
TIn this program you listen via the telecoil (T)
and not via the hearing aid microphones (M).
The telecoil is used where a loop system is in-
stalled. If you activate the telecoil program,
you listen to a specific sound source and shut
out surrounding sounds.
M+T In this program you listen via the hearing aid
microphones (M) and the telecoil (T).
If your needs change over time, the combination of lis-
tening programs can be altered.

18
Switching between the listening
programs
Each time you switch to another pro-
gram, an acoustic indicator will sound
unless this function has been disabled.
Program 1: One short beep
Program 2: Two short beeps
Program 3: Three short beeps
Program 4: One long and one short beep
Program 5: One long and two short beeps
In the default setting, both your hearing aids will be af-
fected when you change programs.

19
Using a telephone
When using a telephone, we rec-
ommend that you hold the tel-
ephone against your head at
an angle above your ear, rath-
er than directly against the ear.
If the sound is not optimal, try
moving the telephone earpiece
to a slightly different position.
