NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is pro-
vided describing the various ear-set solutions available for your hear-
ing aid: “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing aids”.
WARNING
This booklet and the manual “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing 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 exactly as illus-
trated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes
considered necessary.

Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification
devices to be used in everyday listening environments. The hear-
ing aids may be provided with the Zen program intended to pro-
vide a relaxing sound background (i.e. music/noise source) for
adults who desire to listen to such a background in quiet.
Indications for use
The devices are indicated for individuals with a range of hearing
loss severity from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe-to-profound (100
dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care profession-
als (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who
are trained in hearing (re)habilitation as well as tinnitus manage-
ment.

Description of device
Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists of a tube
and earmold. The hearing aid uses a proprietary wireless technol-
ogy, WidexLink, to enable communication between the left and
the right hearing aids, as well as between the hearing aids and
the DEX accessories.
Your hearing aid may be provided with a listening program called
Zen. It makes musical tones (and sometimes a rushing noise)
in the background. These sounds are shaped according to your
hearing loss.
WARNING
This hearing aid is capable of producing a sound pressure level ex-
ceeding 132 dB SPL. There may be a risk of damaging your residual
hearing.

Acoustic indicators
The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indicate the
use of certain functions. The signal may be a spoken message or
tones. The signal can also be deactivated.
