Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new hearing instruments. ReSound’s innovative sound
technology and design, combined with the customised set-up selected by your hearing care
professional, will make hearing a more enjoyable experience. Hearing instruments will enable you
to hear sounds that you may not have heard in years because of your hearing loss. Practice and
a positive attitude are important in learning to use hearing instruments. Your ReSound instru-
ments have been adjusted according to your individual hearing loss and needs. Some people
adjust quickly to wearing hearing instruments in their ears and hearing new sounds; other
people may need more time.
Please read this manual carefully in order to wholly benefit from the use of your hearing instru-
ments. With proper care, maintenance, and usage, your hearing instruments will aid you in
better communication for many years. Ask your hearing care professional if you have any ques-
tions.

Intended use
Generic air-conduction hearing instruments are wearable sound-amplifying devices intended to
compensate for impaired hearing. The fundamental operating principle of hearing instruments
is to receive, amplify, and transfer sound to the ear drum of a hearing impaired person.

on by ten seconds after the battery compartment is closed. This reduces the risk that the hearing
instruments will whistle while you put them on.. With SmartStart, a beep will be heard for each
second of the delay period.
Inserting/Replacing the battery
1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail.
2. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery with the
positive side in the correct position. The battery door has a ‘+’ indicator
to help determine the correct insertion.
3. Always use Zinc-batteries.
4. Gently close the battery door.
Tip: When the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended period of time,
removing the batteries may help prevent corrosion of the battery compartment, and ensure that
battery life is not shortened.
Getting started
On/Off function
1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument
turns on, and the default program will be activated.
2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door.
Many individuals can use their fingernail to pull it open.
Tip: Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember
to turn them off to avoid unnecessary battery consumption.
SmartStart
Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on your ears. If you prefer to
turn them on just prior to placing them on your ear, your hearing care professional can activate a
function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments turn
On
Off

3. Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it
tucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
4. Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned
correctly in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
5. Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion,
hearing instruments should fit snugly but comfortably. If hearing instruments
cause irritation of the ears, contact your hearing care professional. Never
attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, earmoulds, or tubing
yourself.
Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand
during insertion.
Low battery indicator
Your hearing care professional can activate a low battery indicator in your hearing instruments.
The hearing instrument will reduce amplification and emit a beep signal if battery power gets too
low. This signal will recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches
off. The low battery indicator can vary slightly, depending on the type of battery used. It is rec-
ommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.
Inserting/Removing hearing instruments
Insertion (custom earmoulds)
1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and index finger and position its sound outlet in
your ear canal.
2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.

14 15
Removal (custom earmolds)
1. Hold a portion of your earmould towards the back of the ear.
2. Pull the earmould outward and simultaneously rotate the earmould forward.
3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing the hearing instru-
ment.
Removal (domes/custom earmoulds)
1. Hold the thin tube with your thumb and forefinger and pull the tube
outward.
2. For thin tube custom earmoulds, grasp the removal string and pull the
earmould outward.
3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing
the hearing instrument.
Insertion (domes/custom earmoulds)
1. Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently push the dome into the ear canal. Push the
dome far enough into the ear canal so that the thin tube lies flush with the head.
2. It is important that the tube and the dome fit correctly into your ear.
3. When the dome is place correctly, you should not be able to see the thin tube sticking out
when facing a mirror.
Note: You should never
attempt to bend or modify
the shape of the thin tube.

Programme button (optional)
Depending on your experience level with hearing instruments, in-
dividual hearing needs, and the type of listening environments you
experience, your hearing care professional may activate additional
programmes. If additional programmes have been activated, the
following list explains how they work.
1. You can switch between programmes by pushing the programme button
once.
2. You will then hear one or more beeps. The number of beeps indicates which programme
you have selected (one beep = programme one, two beeps = programme two, etc.).
3. When the hearing instruments are turned off and then back on, the hearing instrument
always returns to the default setting (programme one).
Operation of the hearing instrument
Volume control (optional)
The volume control will allow the volume of hearing instruments
to be increased or decreased.
1. To increase the volume, push the volume control up.
2. To decrease the volume, push the volume control down.
When volume is increased or decreased, a beep signal will be
heard for each incremental change. When the upper or lower
limits of the volume range are reached, a beep signal with a longer duration will be heard.
If available on your model, your hearing care professional may have activated a function that
enables the hearing instruments to learn how you adjust the volume control settings. With this
function, the hearing instruments will learn your volume preferences over time, and will adjust
the volume automatically. This can be deactivated or reset by your hearing care professional.

18 19
Stand-by function
Some individuals may find that they would like the hearing instruments muted in certain
situations while wearing them. Your hearing care professional can activate a stand-by function
in your hearing instruments, which causes them to not process or amplify sound. The stand-by
function can be accessed by pressing and holding the programme button for five seconds. A
series of beeps will be presented prior to activation of the stand-by function. To return to the
default programme and de-activate the stand-by function, press the programme button once
(this is possible after at least five seconds in the stand-by mode).
