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.
NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is provid-
ed describing the various ear-set solutions available for your hearing
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 (80 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.

Right/left identification
If you wear hearing aids on both ears, the
hearing aids can be provided with coloured
marks (red mark = right and blue mark = left).
The arrow shows the position of the identifi-
cation mark.

Acoustic indicators
The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indicate the
use of certain functions. The signal may be tones (SmartTone) or

tivated.
