Your ReSound Match MA3T90-VI Hearing Instruments Turning on and off

Turn your hearing instrument on by

closing the battery door.

Turn your hearing instrument

off by pushing in on the small knob

located on the battery door. This will

cause the battery door to open.

The hearing instrument will always be

in program 1 when it is ﬁrst turned on.

Additional information about the

programs can be found on page 10.

Turning your hearing instrument off,

when not in use, will increase the battery

life.

Therefore, it is recommended that you turn off your hearing in-

strument at night and open the battery door completely. It will

also allow moisture in your hearing instrument to evaporate

and will increase the instrument’s lifespan.

Low Battery Warning

The hearing instrument has a soft low-battery-warning signal

(beep-beep) that you will hear when the battery voltage/power

gets too low. The signal indicates you should replace the bat-

tery. We recommend that you always carry a spare battery with

you. The low-battery-warning signal will be repeated every 5-10

minutes until the battery runs out of power. The instrument will

then automatically switch off.

Warnings

• Keep batteries away from children and mentally challenged

persons.

• Batteries can be harmful if swallowed. If you do, seek medical

attention immediately.

• Do not attempt to recharge the batteries, as they could

explode.

• Do not burn the batteries, as they could explode.

gently backwards and forwards so

that it tucks behind the fold of skin

above your ear canal

• Place the hearing instrument behind

your ear

• Move the ear mould up and down and

press gently to ensure it is positioned

correctly in the ear

• When the ear mould and hearing in-

strument are correctly positioned,

and you have not already turned it

on, switch on your instrument by clo-

sing the battery door

Tip

Removing your instrument

• Switch off the instrument by pressing the battery door in the

‘off’ position.

• Lift the hearing instrument from behind the ear. For a

moment, let it hang beside your ear.

• Using your thumb and index ﬁnger, gently pull the earmould

(not the instrument or the tubing) loose from the ear.

• Remove the earmould completely by gently twisting it.

Recognising left and right instrument

If you have two hearing instruments, they may be set different-

ly for your right and left ears. Do not switch the hearing instru-

ments without consulting your hearing care professional.

If you detach the ear moulds from the hearing instruments

when cleaning and/or storing them, verify that you have con-

nected the ear moulds to the appropriate hearing instrument

before ﬁtting them to your ears.

left right

To properly identify your left

instrument from your right

you should see an indication

just above the Push button

(see page 10), that designates

which ear the instrument is for.

L is for Left and R is for Right.

Direct Audio Input (DAI) capability

This hearing instrument is equip-

ped with direct audio input (DAI)

capability. DAI allows an external

sound source to be connected di-

rectly to the hearing aid via a DAI

boot. You will receive an improved

signal, when using DAI, because the

sound is fed directly into the he-

aring aid, bypassing some of the normal sources of noise.

Some of the external devices that can be connected to the DAI

boot are a telephone, a CD player, a computer etc…

The DAI boot is an optional accessory that can be purchased

through your hearing care professional.

• The sound source connects to your hearing instrument with

a cable and an audio boot.

• To use direct audio input (DAI), set the hearing instrument to

the DAI program (available in program 4).

• In this program, you will typically not hear any sound from

the microphone. Therefore, most environmental sounds will

not be heard in the ear that is set to DAI.

The hearing instrument can be turned on and off when the DAI

boot is connected:

• Turn off by pushing the plug

downwards

• Turn on by pushing the battery

door shut

Setting the volume

Volume is adjusted by means of a conveniently located rotary

control marked from »1« (minimum level) to »4« (maximum

level).

Your instrument has a volume

control which allows you to set

and control the volume manually.

At the hearing instrument ﬁtting,

your hearing care practitioner will

choose an optimal volume setting

for you. Please note the setting of

that particular level.

Your volume control has numbers on it to indicate how loud the

hearing instrument is set.

12 13

Program button

Your hearing instrument has a push

button enabling you to use four dif-

ferent listening programs, each of

them suitable for different listening

environments.

• One single beep will be heard if

the instrument is in program 1

• Two beeps will be heard if the

instrument is in program 2

• Three beeps will be heard if

the instrument is in program 3

• Four beeps will be heard if the

instrument is in program 4

When you close the battery door,

the hearing instrument will auto-

matically turn on and the instru-

ment will be set for program 1.

Press the program button to select a different listening pro-

gram.

Telecoil-Program

Your hearing instrument has a built in function called the tele-

coil, which offers improved hearing when used with a telecoil

compatible telephone or assistive listening device. In this pro-

gram, you typically will not be able to hear any sound from

the microphone, but will be able to get direct sound input via

a telecoil compatible telephone and/or a loop system, e.g. in

churches, theatres, etc., or at home. In order to activate the

telecoil, the telecoil program available in program 3 must be

selected.

Telephone use

Using the telephone, while wearing your hearing

instrument, may require some practice. Many

hearing instruments will whistle, when the

phone is held up against them. To avoid this

problem, your hearing instrument has an

induction coil. By switching the program button to the telecoil

program (typically program 3), the hearing instrument will only

pick up sounds coming from the telephone. You may need to ad-

just the volume on the hearing instrument to improve hearing

understanding on the telephone. The receiver of the telephone

should be placed as shown in the drawing.

Cellular Phone and Hearing Instrument Compatibility

Hearing instrument performance with cellular phones may vary

based on the individual hearing system or the cell phone being

used. If your hearing system and cell phone are not compatible

you may experience a buzzing or clicking noise while using the

two in conjunction. If this is the case with your current hearing

system and cell phone, consult with your hearing healthcare

professional to see if there are options to improve the sound

quality.

Measures you can take to prevent this situation:

• When purchasing a hearing system, be sure to test it with

your existing phone to determine compatibility.

• When shopping for a new cell phone, be sure to test it with

your hearing system before purchasing.

For additional guidance, please consult your cell phone provider.

Using Assistive Listening (Tele-Loop) Systems

Many gathering places are equipped with assistive listening

(tele-loop) systems, for example, in schools, theaters and

houses of worship. To take advantage of a tele-loop system,

select the telecoil program (program 3). When the telecoil pro-

gram has been selected, you will be able to hear a clean sound

signal via the tele-loop system. If the instrument goes dead in

the telecoil program, this may be because the loop system is not

operating.

If a school, theater or house of worship does not have a tele-

loop system, try and sit as close as possible to the front and use

one of the microphone programs.

Maintenance and cleaning

Earwax (cerumen) can accumulate in and on the earmould

during use. Therefore, clean your earmould regularly. Failure to

do so can lead to an accumulation of earwax, impairing sound

quality.

Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with

a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove grease or moisture.

You should avoid exposing your instrument directly to moisture

such as rain or water from the shower. If your instrument does

get wet or if it has been exposed to high humidity or perspira-

tion, it should be left to dry out overnight with the battery out

and the battery compartment open. It is also a good idea to put

them in a sealed container together with a drying agent (des-

sicator) overnight. Consult your hearing care professional as to

which drying agent to use.

16 17

Storing your instrument

When you are not using your in-

strument, keep or transport it in

the box supplied. Leave the battery

door open. Keep your instrument

in a dry place, not in a bathroom

or other humid place. Alternatively,

you could store the instrument in

a dessicator available from your

hearing care practitioner.

Cleaning the earmould

• First, remove the tubing and earmould from the hearing in-

strument. Keep left and right instrument separated.

• Remove earwax with the cleaning brush and a soft cloth. If

needed, use a mild solution of soft soap and water or a spe-

cial cleaning solution. Ask your hearing care practitioner for

detailed instructions.

• Rinse the earmould with water.

Note: Do not use water or other liquid on the hearing instru-

ment itself.

• Dry the earmould with a cloth.

• Blow possible water drops from tubing and earmould. A

special device is available for this from your hearing care

practitioner.

• Ensure that the earmould and tubing are completely dry

before attaching them to the hearing instrument. Take care

with left and right instruments, check the ﬁgures on page 7.

Replacing the tube

Ask your hearing care practitioner to replace the tubing from

the instrument to the earmould if it turns stiff or changes co-

lour.

General warnings

• Do not leave your hearing instrument in the sun, near an

open ﬁre or in a hot, parked car.

• Do not wear your instrument while showering, swimming, in

heavy rain or in a moist atmosphere such as steam bath or

sauna.

• Should your instrument become moist, put it in a dessicator.

Your hearing care practitioner will be happy to counsel on

this.

• Remove your instrument when applying cosmetics, e.g. per-

fume, aftershave, hair spray, suntan lotion.

• Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by

your hearing care practitioner. Incorrect use may result in

sudden and permanent hearing loss.

• Do not allow others to use your hearing instrument. It may

cause permanent damage.

• Hearing instrument usage by children or mentally challen-

ged persons should be supervised at any time.

• Do not take your instrument into rooms where you receive

treatment with X-rays or MRI.

• Wearing a hearing instrument might cause an increased pro-

duction of earwax. In rare cases, the anti-allergenic materi-

als may cause skin irritation. If so, or if in doubt, consult your

physician or ENT consultant.
