In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is provid-
ed describing the various ear-set solutions available for your hearing

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.

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 SUPER™ hearing aids are intended as air conduction ampli-
fication devices to be used in everyday listening environments.
The SUPER hearing aids may be provided with the Zen program
intended to provide 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 moderate (40 dB HL) to severe-to-profound
(120 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 SUPER™ hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists
of an earwire and an ear-tip or earmold, in which the receiver is
placed. The hearing aid uses a proprietary wireless technology,
WidexLink, to enable communication between the left and the right
hearing aid, as well as between the hearing aids and the DEX acces-
sories. Your hearing aid is to be powered by a 675 type battery.
Your hearing aid may be provided with an optional listening pro-
gram called Zen. It makes musical tones (and sometimes a rush-
ing 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. Please follow the recommendations of your hearing care
professional.
