Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for choosing our hearing aids. We recommend that you use your hearing aids every day -
this way you will fully benefit from them.
NOTE: Read this booklet carefully before you start using your hearing aids.
Intended use
Generic air-conduction hearing aids are wearable sound-amplifying devices intended to
compensate for impaired hearing. The fundamental operating principle of hearing aids is to
receive, amplify, and transfer sound to the eardrum of a hearing impaired person.
Your hearing aid is a custom-made product.
This hearing device is intended for use by users over 12 years of age.
For devices including a Tinnitus Sound Generator module:
The Tinnitus Sound Generator module is a tool to generate sounds to be used in a Tinnitus
Management Program to temporarily relieve patients suffering from Tinnitus. The target
population is primarily the adult population over 18 years of age. This product may also be used
with children 12 years of age or older.

How to get your hearing aid ready for use
Replacing the battery
1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail. Remove
the used battery if present.
2. Prepare the new battery. Remove the protective foil to activate the
battery. Wait for 2 minutes before inserting the battery into the
hearing aid.
3. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the correct position.
Always insert the battery in the door: never directly into the hearing
aid. Gently close the battery door.
NOTE: To save battery power, turn off your hearing aids when they are not in use.
NOTE: At night, switch off the hearing aid and open the battery door completely to allow
9

moisture to evaporate and prolong the hearing aid’s lifespan.
NOTE: If the hearing aid is experiencing frequent loss of connection to wireless accessories,
contact your hearing care professional for a list of low impedance batteries.
NOTE: Keep spare batteries on hand.

the interest of your safety and for the environment. Please note:
1. Keep batteries away from pets, children and mentally challenged persons.
2. DO NOT place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery
has been swallowed, as they can be harmful to your health.
3. Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc-Air) which are not specifically designated
as rechargeable because they may leak or explode.
4. DO NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.
5. Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to
local regulations or return them to your hearing care professional.
