FDA warnings and cautions
WARNING:If you are younger than 18, do not use this
You should go to a doctor, preferably an ear-nose-throat doctor (an ENT), because your condition needs
specialized care. Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids are only for users who are age 18 or older.
This OTC hearing aid is for users who are 18 and older. People who are younger than 18 with hearing loss
should see a doctor, preferably an ENT, because they may need medical testing and management. Hearing
loss can affect speech and learning, so professional fitting and continuing care are also important.
WARNING:
When to See a Doctor
If you have any of the problems listed below, please see a doctor, preferably an ear-nose-throat doctor
(an ENT).
•Your ear has a birth defect or an unusual shape. Your ear was injured or deformed in an accident.
•You saw blood, pus, or fluid coming out of your ear in the past 6 months
•Your ear feels painful or uncomfortable
•You have a lot of ear wax, or you think something could be in your ear
•You get really dizzy or have a feeling of spinning or swaying (called vertigo)
•Your hearing changed suddenly in the past 6 months
•Your hearing changes: it gets worse then gets better again
2

•You have worse hearing in one ear
•You hear ringing or buzzing in only one ear.
This hearing aid should not cause pain when inserting it
Remove this device from your ear if it causes pain or discomfort when you insert or place it. To try again,
make sure to follow the instructions. If you feel pain or discomfort again, contact the manufacturer. If
your pain or discomfort doesn't go away, contact your hearing healthcare professional. You can also
report this to FDA as an adverse event according to the instructions that appear later.
CAUTION:
This is not hearing protection
You should remove this device if you experience overly loud sounds, whether short or long-lasting. If
you're in a loud place, you should use the right kind of hearing protection instead of wearing this device.
In general, if you would use ear plugs in a loud place, you should remove this device and use ear plugs.
The sound output should not be uncomfortable or painful
You should turn down the volume or remove the device if the sound output is uncomfortably loud or
painful. If you consistently need to turn the volume down, you may need to further adjust your device.
You might need medical help if a piece gets stuck in your ear
If any part of your hearing aid, like the eartip (dome), gets stuck in your ear, and you can’t easily remove
it with your fingers, get medical help as soon as you can. You should not try to use tweezers or cotton
swabs because they can push the part further into your ear, injuring your eardrum or ear canal, possibly
seriously.

NOTE:
If you remain concerned, consult a professional
•If you try this device and continue to struggle with or remain concerned about your hearing, you
should consult with a hearing healthcare professional.
What you might expect when you start using your hearing aid
•A hearing aid can benefit many people with hearing loss. However, you should know it will not
restore normal hearing, and you may still have some difficulty hearing over noise. Further, a hearing
aid will not prevent or improve a medical condition that causes hearing loss.
•People who start using hearing aids sometimes need a few weeks to get used to them. Similarly,
many people find that training or counseling can help them get more out of their devices.
•If you have hearing loss in both ears, you might get more out of using hearing aids in both, especially
in situations that make you tired from listening – for example, noisy environments.
Tell FDA about injuries, malfunctions, or other adverse events
•To report a problem involving your hearing aid, you should submit information to FDA as soon as
possible after the problem. FDA calls them “adverse events”, and they might include: skin irritation in
your ear, injury from the device (like cuts or scratches, or burns from an overheated battery), pieces
of the device getting stuck in your ear, suddenly worsening hearing loss from using the device, etc.
Instructions for reporting are available at https://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch, or call 1-800-FDA-
1088. You can also download a form to mail to FDA.

Preparing your hearing aids for use
Battery warnings
WARNING:
•Rechargeable hearing aids are supported by a non-removable rechargeable lithium-ion battery cell.
Exposure or ingestion can be seriously harmful.
•Never put your rechargeable hearing aid in your mouth.
•Keep your rechargeable hearing aid away from pets, children, and people with cognitive, intellectual,
or mental health challenges.
•Never swallow lithium-ion batteries nor place them inside any part of the body, as this may lead to
fatal injuries in two hours or less. If a lithium-ion battery is swallowed or placed inside any part of the
body, or if a rechargeable hearing aid is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
•If the outer casing of your rechargeable hearing aid is broken, the rechargeable batteries inside may
leak. In this case, do not attempt to use the hearing aid - contact Jabra Enhance. See the back page
for contact information.
•Battery leakage can cause chemical burns. If you get exposed to battery leakage material, rinse
immediately with warm water. If you get chemical burns, redness, or skin irritation from battery
leakage, seek medical attention.
•Batteries are harmful for the environment. Therefore, never try to burn them. Dispose of your used
rechargeable hearing aids according to your country’s regulations.
13

•For safety reasons, use only the charger provided with your hearing aid.
•When traveling, consult your airline about any rules for transportation of your hearing aid and
charger.
Charging your hearing aids
We recommend that you fully charge your hearing aids before using them. This is just a precaution to make
sure that you don't run out of power unexpectedly. To learn how to charge your hearing aids, please consult the
user guide for your hearing aid charger.
Low battery alert
When the batteries are low on power, the volume in your hearing aids will momentarily reduce and a melody
will play every 15minutes until there is no more power - then your hearing aids will turn off.
Low battery alert when paired with wireless accessories
NOTE:
Your batteries will run out faster when you use wireless functions like streaming from your mobile device
or from your TV with our TV streamer. As the battery power declines, the wireless functions stop
working. A short melody will play every five minutes to let you know that the battery power is low. The
table below shows the functionality with different battery charge levels.

Inserting the receiver dome into your ear
1. Hang the hearing aid over the
top of your ear.
2. Hold the receiver wire where it
bends and gently place/push
the receiver dome into your ear
canal.
3. Push the dome far enough into
your ear canal so that the wire
rests against your head. You
can check in a mirror.
NOTE:
•To avoid whistling, ensure that the wire and dome fit correctly into your ear. If you continue to
experience whistling, check the troubleshooting guide for other possible reasons and solutions.
•If the receiver wire of the hearing aid does not rest against the side of your head, try using a smaller
dome size. (See page 32 for dome replacement). If the hearing aid wire is not resting against the side
of your head, a new receiver length may also be needed (See "Replacing the receivers", page 39).
17

•If you are still unable to receive an appropriate fit, contact Jabra Enhance. See the back page for
contact information.
Sport lock
If you have ordered sport locks with your hearing aids
and mounted them as instructed on page 42, insert
them as follows:
To insert a hearing aid with a sport lock:
1. Insert the hearing aid as usual
2. Tuck the sport lock into the bottom of the concha
(the part of your ear just outside the ear canal).
NOTE: Sport locks may become stiff, brittle, or discolored over time and need replacement. Contact
Jabra Enhance for further information and ordering. See the back page for contact information.

Removing your hearing aids from your ears
1. Lift the hearing aid off your ear. 2. Hold the receiver wire with your thumb and
forefinger where it bends and pull the dome out of
your ear canal.
