Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in

your hearing aid, remember to re-

move the adhesive tab. Do not use

batteries on which there is a sticky

residue from the tab or other un-

wanted substance.

The battery

Battery type

The recommended battery type for your AIKIA

hearing aid is:

Zinc Air battery type 13

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult

your hearing care professional. Please note the ex-

piration date and the recommendations regarding

disposal of used batteries on the battery pack. To

ensure proper battery function, do not use batter-

ies past the expiration date. Because they are Zinc

Air type batteries, they need air to work. There-

fore, do not remove the adhesive tab until just be-

fore inserting the battery in the hearing aid. Once

the tab has been removed, the battery will start

functioning after a few seconds. The battery life

will depend on a number of factors, such as the

setting of your hearing aid, how many hours you

use it daily and the listening environments in which

you use it.

Push the nail grip upwards to

swing open the battery drawer.

The nail grip is located on the op-

posite side of the on/off switch at

the bottom of the hearing aid.

The plus (+) sign of the battery must face upwards.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the bat-

tery is incorrectly inserted.

Changing the battery

If you hear four rapid beep-tones while wearing

your hearing aid, it is an indication that the battery

is nearly exhausted. Once the battery is totally ex-

hausted, the hearing aid will be completely silent.

Exactly how long the hearing aid will function after

the beep-tones varies from one case to another.

We recommend that you always have a spare bat-

tery with you.

For adjustment of the beep-tone level or disabling

of the function, please consult your hearing care

professional.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing

aid. Exhausted batteries may leak, which could

damage the hearing aid. When changing batteries,

it is a good idea to hold the hearing aid over a table

or a carpet, in case you drop the hearing aid or bat-

tery.

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer is placed

at the bottom of the hearing

aid. The battery drawer also

functions as the on/off

switch.

The hearing aid is turned on

when the switch is pushed

upwards, and off when the

switch is pushed down-

wards.

The word “OFF” is clearly vis-

ible on the switch when the

hearing aid is turned off.

Please remember to switch the hearing aid off

when it is not in use. Remove the battery if the

hearing aid will not be used for several days.

Left/right identification

If you wear hearing aids on

both ears, your hearing care

professional can put color

marks on your hearing aids so

you can easily see which is

for the left ear and which is

for the right ear (red mark =

right and blue mark = left).

Placing AIKIA AK-9

on/in the ear

Insert a battery in your hearing aid. First insert the

earmold in the ear canal while holding the lower

part of the tubing. It may also help to pull the outer

ear backwards and upwards with the opposite

hand.

Once the earmold has been inserted, you place the

hearing aid behind the ear, so that the hook rests

comfortably on the ear, close to your head.

Placing AIKIA AK-9é

on/in the ear

Insert a battery in your hearing aid. First place the

hearing aid behind the ear, so that the earhook and

tubing rest comfortably on the ear, close to your

head. Then insert the é-tip in the ear canal while

holding the lower part of the tubing. Lastly, make

sure that the anchor is positioned correctly. It

should rest at the opening of the ear canal and se-

cure the position of the é-tip as well as the entire

élan ear-set. Remember to check at regular inter-

vals that the hearing aid and the ear-set are posi-

tioned correctly.

Possible settings when turning

on your hearing aid

Your hearing aid can be set to start up in two dif-

ferent ways. In the standard start-up setting your

hearing aid may whistle slightly while you insert

the earmold in the ear. An alternative is a setting

where the hearing aid actively suppresses whis-

tling while the earmold is being inserted in the ear.

Together with your hearing care professional you

can choose the start-up setting that suits your

needs best.

Removing AIKIA AK-9 and AK-9é

Turn off your hearing aid before removing it. First

remove the hearing aid from its position behind

the ear. Carefully pull the earmold/é-tip out of the

ear canal, while holding the lower part of the tub-

ing. If it is difficult, it may help to try to move the

earmold/é-tip carefully from side to side while

pulling it out. It may also help to pull the outer ear

backwards and upwards with the opposite hand.

Automatic adjustment of

loudness

AIKIA adjusts loudness automatically in accord-

ance with your sound environment. Several thou-

sand times per second, AIKIA analyzes the sur-

roundings and tailors its sound accordingly. With

AIKIA you do not have to think about adjusting the

volume – it happens quite automatically.

Important: If the volume in your hearing aid is too

loud or too weak, or if the reproduced sounds are

distorted, or you would like any further informa-

tion, consult your hearing care professional.
