as a part of a tinnitus treatment program.
Multiflex Tinnitus Technology plays a white
noise through the hearing aid. The tinnitus
stimulus is programmed according to

professional can adjust the settings of the
tinnitus stimulus to meet your needs.

Preparation Preparation
Batteries
Your hearing system uses a battery as its power
source. This battery size can be identified by
the yellow (10) code on the packaging.
To insert or replace the battery:
1. Use the nail grip on the battery door.
2. Open the battery door gently and
remove the old battery.
3. Remove the tab from the new battery.
4. Line up the battery’s plus “+” sign (flat
side of the battery) with the “+” on the
battery door.
5. Close the battery door.
Battery Indicators
An indicator will sound when the battery
voltage is low. You have approximately five
minutes* to replace the battery. An indicator
will sound just before the battery stops
working.
* Actual time between low battery indicator and shut down will vary
depending on environmental noise levels and brand of battery used.

My hearing instrument has a tamper resistant
battery compartment. See below.
Preparation Preparation
Tamper Resistant Battery Compartment
To lock the
battery door:
Use an appropriate tool
to slide the recessed
switch to the left until it
“clicks” and the colored
mark is visible.
To unlock the
battery door:
Slide the recessed
switch to the right
until it “clicks” and the
colored mark disappears.
Locking the door is not required for
operation.
WARNINGS Batteries are dangerous if swallowed.
To help prevent the accidental ingestion of batteries:
Keep out of reach of children and pets
Check your medications before taking them –
batteries have been mistaken for pills
Never put batteries in your mouth, as they can easily
be swallowed

Helpful Hints
• NEVER FORCE THE BATTERY DOOR
SHUT; this could result in serious
damage; if the door will not close
securely, check that the battery is
inserted correctly.
• Do not open the battery door too far
or damage is likely to occur.
• Dispose of used batteries immediately in
the proper waste or recycling container.
• Batteries vary in size and performance.
Your hearing care professional is your
best source for lifespan estimates and
verification that you are using the proper
size and type.

professional.
• Severe swelling, discharge from the
ear, excessive wax or other unusual
conditions warrant immediate
consultation with a physician.

Operation Operation
Telecoil and Manual Switching
Hearing instruments with a
manual telecoil allow you to
switch the devices to telephone
mode when needed.
Manually switched telecoils
are activated by choosing
the telecoil setting using the
Multifunction switch.
General Telephone Use
Some hearing instruments
work best by holding the
phone close to, but not fully
covering your ear. In some
instances, if you encounter
whistling (feedback), tilt the
receiver at an angle until the
whistling stops. Your hearing
professional can provide
instructions and techniques
for your specific needs.
Automatic Telephone and
Automatic Telecoil
These options activate the telephone
response automatically when used with a
hearing aid compatible telephone. To use,
place the telephone receiver on your ear
as you normally would and the hearing
instrument will select the telephone setting.
It might be necessary to move the telephone
receiver slightly to find the best reception.
Once the telephone is removed from the
ear, the hearing instrument will switch back
to the normal listening mode.
NOTE Consult with your hearing professional
if your device does not seem to switch to the
telephone setting automatically.
