Warnings
Hearing aids should only be used as
directed by your physician or hearing
healthcare professional.
Hearing aids will not restore normal
hearing and will not prevent or improve a
hearing impairment resulting from organic
conditions.
Do not use your hearing aids in explosion
hazard areas.
Allergic reactions to hearing aids are unlikely.
However, if you experience itching, redness,
soreness, inflammation or a burning
sensation in or around your ears, inform your
hearing healthcare professional and contact
your physician.
In the unlikely case that any parts remain in
the ear canal aer the removal of the hearing
aid, contact a physician immediately.
Remove your hearing aids for CT and
MRI scans or for other electromagnetic
procedures.
Special care should be exercised in wearing
hearing aids when maximum sound
pressure levels exceed 132 decibels. There
may be a risk of impairing your remaining
hearing. Speak with your hearing healthcare
professional to ensure the maximum output
of your hearing aids is suitable for your
particular hearing loss.
Magnet warnings
Be sure the magnet is securely axed to the
telephone.
Keep loose magnets out of reach of children
and pets.
If the magnet falls into your ear, contact your
hearing healthcare professional.
If the magnet is swallowed, contact your
physician immediately.
The magnet may aect some medical
devices or electronic systems. Always keep
the magnet (or the telephone equipped with
the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”) away from
pacemakers, credit cards, floppy disks or
other magnetically sensitive devices.

Your hearing aids use the most modern
components to provide the best possible
sound quality in every listening situation.
However, communication devices such as
digital cell phones can create interference
(a buzzing sound) in hearing aids. If you
experience interference from a cell phone
being used close by, you can minimize this
interference in a number of ways. Switch
your hearing aids to another program, turn
your head in a dierent direction or locate
the cell phone and move away from it.
Note to hearing healthcare professional
Domes should never be tted on patients
with perforated eardrums, exposed middle
ear cavities, or surgically altered ear
canals. In the case of such a condition, we
recommend to use a customized ear mold.
Labeling
The serial number and year of manufacture are
located inside the battery door.
Too high distortion during dialing or
phoning may mean that the phone handset
is stressed by the magnet. To avoid any
damage, please move the magnet to
another place on the telephone receiver.
Battery warnings
Never leave hearing aids or batteries where
small children and pets can reach them.
Never put hearing aids or batteries in
your mouth. If a hearing aid or battery is
swallowed, call a physician immediately.
Precautions
The use of hearing aids is only part of
hearing rehabilitation; auditory training and
lip reading instruction may be required as
well.
In most cases, infrequent use of hearing
aids does not provide full benet. Once you
have become accustomed to your hearing
aids, wear your hearing aids everyday all
day.

Putting your hearing aids on your ears
Your hearing aids may be color-coded with a
small dot that is visible when the battery door is
open: red = right ear; blue = le ear.
Hearing aids with domes
1. Hold the wire where it
attaches to the dome and
gently push the dome into
your ear canal. The wire
should lie flush against your
head and not stick out.
2. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.
3. Place the retention piece
in your ear so it rests at the
bottom of the opening of
your ear canal.

Hearing aids with custom shells
1. Hold the custom shell
between your thumb and
index nger. The opening
should be pointing in
towards your ear canal
with the hearing aid
resting above your ear.
2. Carefully insert the
custom shell into your
ear. The shell should t
into your ear snugly and
comfortably.
3. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.

Turning your hearing aids on and o
Your hearing aids have a three-position battery
door that acts as an on/o switch and that
allows access to the battery compartment.
1. On: Close the battery door
fully.
Note: It may take 5 seconds
before the hearing aid turns
on. Your hearing healthcare
provider can increase the
start up delay if required.
2. O: Partially open the
battery door.
3. Open: Fully open the
battery door to access and
change the battery.
Note: When turning your
hearing aid on and o while
it is on the ear, grasp the top
and bottom of the hearing
aid with your index nger and
thumb. Use the index nger
of your opposite hand to open
and close the battery door.

Battery information
To replace the battery, fully open the battery
door for access to the battery compartment.
Low battery warning
Two long beeps indicate the hearing aid battery
is low. Aer the low battery warning, sounds
may not be as clear. This is normal and can be
xed by changing the batteries in the hearing
aids.
If you are not able to hear the low battery
warning, your hearing healthcare professional
can change its pitch or loudness. If you prefer, it
can be turned o entirely.
Your hearing aids are designed to generate a
low battery warning every 30 minutes until you
change the batteries, but depending on the
condition of the batteries, they may die before
another low battery warning occurs. Therefore,
it is recommended that the batteries are
replaced as soon as possible once you hear the
low battery warning.

12 13
Replacing the battery
1. Gently swing out the battery
door with your ngernail.
2. Grasp the battery with your
thumb and index nger and
remove.
3. Insert the new battery into the
battery compartment with the
plus (+) sign on the battery
facing the same way as the
plus (+) sign on the edge of
the battery door. This will
ensure that the battery door
closes properly.
Note: If the battery is inserted
incorrectly, the hearing aid will
not turn on.
4. Close the battery door.

Caring for batteries
Always discard batteries in a safe and
environmentally friendly way.
To prolong battery life, remember to turn your
hearing aids o when not in use, especially
when asleep.
Remove the batteries and keep the battery door
open while hearing aids are not being worn,
especially when asleep. This will allow internal
moisture to evaporate.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for the
rst time
• Start in a quiet room at home rst to get
used to the new sound quality. Sounds like
the ticking of a clock, the humming of the
computer, the beep of the microwave or the
rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud
to you at rst, because you have not been
hearing them properly for a long time.
• Read aloud to yourself and learn to adjust
the volume of your own voice when you are
wearing the hearing aids.
• Talk to dierent people and learn how to
distinguish between dierent sound patterns
again.
• It will take some time before you are
completely used to your hearing aids and can
fully enjoy the benets.
• Wear your hearing aids for as many hours a
day as you can, and for a little longer each
day.
• Make notes at the back of this booklet,
write down dicult situations and describe
what any unpleasant noises were like. This
information will help your hearing healthcare
professional to ne-tune the hearing aids
better for your needs.
• Involve your family and friends in this
familiarization period. For example,
ask someone to set the television to a
comfortable volume.
• When you are beginning to get used to
wearing the hearing aids, wear them in more
dicult listening environments such as the
oce, at parties or in restaurants. This can
be dicult even for people who can hear
normally. Give yourself time to regain your
ability to hear in these dicult situations.
• Make your hearing aids part of your everyday
life and be patient with yourself while you are
learning to hear sounds correctly.
