A hearing loss is typically acquired gradually over many years. You may

have become accustomed to an everyday life with fewer sounds, which

also means hearing less noise than people with normal hearing.

With your new hearing instruments you will experience many sounds that

you may not have heard for years. It will take time to get used to all these

sounds again. Some examples of these sounds are:

• Theclockticking

• Turningpagesofthenewspaper

• Children’svoices

• Whispersandsoftspeech

• Carnoise

• Birdsong

• Thesoundofyourownfootsteps

How to adjust

If you are inexperienced with hearing instruments it is advisable to:

1. Use your hearing instruments every day.

2. Wear your hearing instruments for just a couple of hours a day

during the ﬁrst week.

3. Gradually increase the time you wear your hearing

instruments.

It can take several months for your brain to get used to all the “new”

sounds around you. Start using your hearing instruments in mainly

quiet surroundings and start with a comfortable volume (the hearing

care professional will ensure this). Listen to and get familiar with all

sounds in your home, such as a ticking clock, water running in the sink,

or silverware used on a plate. In quiet surroundings, converse with a

person you know well. Listen to a TV or radio at home. After you have

used the hearing instruments for a while you will be ready for more

demanding listening situations, like conversation with a group of two or

three people.

How to Use the Hearing Instrument

On/Off Function

1. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is turned

on and programme 1 will be activated.

2. To turn the instrument off, open the battery compartment.

Many individuals use their ﬁnger tips to pull it open.

3. The instrument is then switched off.

4. Whenever you are not using the instrument, remember to open

the battery door to turn the hearing instrument off to stop battery

consumption.

You can turn on your hearing instrument once you have placed it behind

your ear and inserted the tube in your ear. If you prefer not to have the

device ”on” while placing it behind your ear, your hearing care profes-

sional can activate a function (SmartStart) which will delay the instrument

turning on. This function will prevent the hearing instrument from squeal-

ing while the tube or mould is being inserted in the ear. It delays the

switch-on time by 10 seconds after closing the battery compartment.

A beep each second is presented during this time.

Inserting the Instrument (with earmould)

1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and

index ﬁnger and position its sound outlet in

your ear canal.

2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear

with a gentle, twisting movement (insertion

can be easier if you gently pull your ear up

and back with your other hand).

3. Turn the top-part of the earmould gently

backwards and forwards so that it tucks

behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.

4. Place the hearing instrument behind your ear.

5. Move the earmould up and down and press

gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in

the ear.

6. When the earmould and hearing instrument are

correctly positioned, and you have

not already turned it on, switch on your

instrument by closing the battery door.

Tip

Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.

10 11

Inserting the Instrument (with dome)

1. Place the hearing instrument behind the ear.

2. Hold the tube where it bends and gently push

the dome into your ear canal (the dome should

be placed far enough into the ear that the tube

lies ﬂush with your head).

3. It is important that the tube and the dome ﬁt

correctly into your ear.

4. When the dome is placed correctly, you should

not be able to see the tube sticking out when

you face a mirror.

Note

You should never attempt to bend or modify the

shape of the tube.

Removing the Hearing Instrument

To remove the hearing instrument, simply pull

the tube outward with your thumb and foreﬁnger.

Consult your hearing care professional if you have

difﬁculties removing the hearing instrument.

Volume Control

When using the instrument you can increase the volume by pushing the

volume control up, and reduce volume by turning it down.

For each volume step, you will hear a

“beep” signal indicating the change.

The loudness of the “beeps” will

increase as you turn the volume up

and decrease as you turn it down.

If you reach the upper or lower limit

of the volume control range, there will

be a more prominent “beep”

signal indicated by a lower pitch.

12 13

Programme Selector

You can have up to four different programmes on your hearing instru-

ment. The selection of programmes can be changed by your hearing

care professional.

1. You can switch between programmes by pushing the programme

selector once.

2. You will then hear one or more “beeps”. The number of beeps

indicates which programme you have selected.

3. You can always return to programme 1 by turning your instrument off

and then on again, or by placing it in stand-by mode

and then returning to its operating mode.

Your Programme Environments:

(to be completed together with your hearing care professional):

Programme Description of when to use

14 15

Stand-by Function

In stand-by mode, the hearing instrument will not process sound or

deliver an acoustic signal to the ear. When in this mode, a small amount

of power will be used. To put the instrument in stand-by mode, hold

down the programme selector for 5 seconds. You will hear a series of

beeps and the device will be in stand-by mode. To return to standard

mode, press the programme selector once. This can only be done after

at least 5 seconds in the stand-by mode.

Telephone Use

You can use the telephone with your

hearing instruments. Using the telephone

while using your hearing instruments may

require some practice.

By selecting the optional telecoil programme

you can improve understanding of speech

when using a telecoil compatible phone.

Rather than picking up the sound from the telephone, this programme

onlypicksupthetelephone’smagneticsignalandconverts

it to sound. Your hearing care professional can activate the telecoil.

When using the telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone

should be held as shown in the drawing. You may need to move the hand-

set around slightly to ﬁnd the best reception.

If you do not wish to have a telecoil programme, you may still use the

phone while using your hearing instrument. Hold the phone close to

the front microphone of the hearing instrument, but not directly on it.

If it whistles, it may take a few seconds for the instrument to adapt.

If the whistling continues, move the telephone 2-3 cm away from

your ear. Some hearing instruments also have an acoustic telephone pro-

gram. This program might decrease problems with acoustic

feedback when using the telephone.

Using tele-loop systems

Many gathering places such as schools, theatres and houses of worship,

are equipped with tele-loop systems. To take advantage of such

a system, select the telecoil program to pick up direct sound. If the hear-

ing instrument goes dead when the telecoil program is selected, the

tele-loop system may not be turned on or not operating correctly.

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

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

microphone programmes.

16 17

Low Battery Warning

Your hearing care professional can activate a Low Battery Warning

function in your hearing instruments. When the battery voltage/power

decreases to a certain level, the instrument will emit ﬁve soft beeping

signals. This sequence will continue every ﬁve minutes until the instrument

automatically switches off. The occurrence of the sequence can differ by

using rechargeable batteries and also between different battery brands.

It is recommended that you keep a spare battery on hand.

Changing the Battery

1. Gently push the battery compartment to open.

2. Use a magnet pin to remove the battery,

if at hand.

3. After removing the old battery, insert

the new one. It is important to insert

the battery with the positive side in the

correct position. The battery door has a

+ marking to help determine correct insertion.

4. Always use Zinc-Air or rechargeable batteries size 13.

Tip

Removing the battery when you are not wearing the instrument for a

longer period will help prevent corrosion of the battery contacts.

Direct Audio Input (DAI)

Using the Direct Audio Input socket enables direct, undisturbed

connection to facilities such as: Television - Radio - Remote microphone.

How to connect the Audio boot to the hearing instrument:

1. Make sure the tip of the audio boot is placed ﬁrstly in the HAI

(Hearing instrument Accessories Interface).

2. Click the audio boot on to the hearing instrument.

3. The Audio boot is now connected.

How to disconnect the Audio boot:

4. Push the release button on the front side of the Audio boot.

5. Gently remove the Audio boot.

The sound source is connected to your instrument with a cable or a

wireless FM system to the audio boot. The audio boot will connect with a

“click” to the hearing instrument and switch to Direct Audio Input auto-

matically.

Cleaning the Earmould

The earmould should be cleaned regularly:

1. Remove the earmould and the tubing from the hearing instrument

before you clean it.

2. To clean the earmould, rinse with

lukewarm water.

3. If ear wax is stuck in the sound

canal of the earmould, the

cleaning loop or a syringe with

lukewarm water can be used to

“push” the wax out.

4. Blow gently through the tubing to remove moisture trapped inside.

5. Be sure to thoroughly dry the earmould and its tubing before

reconnecting it to the hearing instrument.

The tubing connecting the earmould to the hearing instrument should

be changed if it becomes stiff or brittle. Contact your hearing care

professional to change the tubing when needed.

Maintenance

Daily Maintenance

It is important to keep your hearing

instrument clean and dry every day. To

clean the instrument, use a soft cloth.

If the instrument has been exposed to

high humidity or perspiration, use a

drying kit that is available from your

hearing care professional.

To avoid the need for repairs:

1. Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids since this may

cause permanent damage to the hearing instrument.

2. Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling, and avoid

dropping it on hard surfaces or ﬂoors.

3. Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight since

excessive heat can damage the instrument or deform the casing.
