General

Your new hearing aid

Thank you for choosing a Widex hearing aid. This is a

hearing aid that allows you to be part of the process of

tailoring the sound to your individual hearing loss and

lifestyle requirements.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

All illustrations in this booklet

show a right-ear hearing aid.

Unless otherwise stated, the

same principles apply to the left

ear.

Ear-set solutions

Several ear-set solutions are available for your hearing

aid. Below, your hearing care professional can check off

the type of ear-set tip chosen for you.

Unless otherwise indicated, the information provided

in this booklet applies to all three types of ear-set solu-

tion. In addition to the general instructions, please be

sure to read the sections that apply to your specific ear-

set solution.

General

The hearing aid

The illustration below shows the hearing aid without

any of its other parts (for example tubing and tip).

1. Microphone openings, where the sound enters the

hearing aid.

2. Program button is available on some models. It

allows you to choose between different listening

programs. If you have a remote control for your

hearing aid, the hearing aid does not include a

program button.

3. On/off function, which is integrated into the

battery drawer (see page 14).

4. Nail grip on the battery drawer for easy opening.

The battery

The recommended battery type for your hearing aid is:

Zinc Air battery type 10

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note

of the expiration date and the recommendations re-

garding disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

To ensure proper battery function, do not use batteries

past the expiration date. 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.

General

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in your

hearing aid, remember to remove the

adhesive tab. Once the tab has been

removed, the battery will start func-

tioning after a few seconds. Do not

use batteries on which there is a sticky residue from the

tab or other unwanted substance.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the

battery drawer outwards. Do not

press the battery drawer beyond the

open position.

Place the battery in the drawer so that the small plus (+)

sign on the battery is facing in the direction indicated

by the small plus (+) sign printed on the round battery

holder. You can use the provided battery magnet to

steer the battery into place. If the battery drawer does

not close easily, the battery is incorrectly inserted.

Always place the battery in the actual battery

drawer as illustrated and not in the open space

inside the hearing aid.

General

Changing the battery

If you hear four beep-tones from your hearing aid, it is

an indication that the battery is nearly exhausted. Once

the battery is totally exhausted, 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

battery with you.

For adjustment of the beep-tone level or disabling of

the function, please consult your hearing care profes-

sional.

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 battery.

Your hearing aid may be provided

with a battery drawer without a nail

grip, which means that you need a

tool to open the battery drawer.

This type of drawer can be a good

choice if the hearing aid is worn by

a child. A special tool for opening

the drawer will be included with

this drawer (see the illustration).

Open the battery drawer as il-

lustrated.

General

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer of your hearing

aid also functions as the on/off switch.

The hearing aid is turned on when a

battery is inserted correctly and the

battery drawer is completely closed.

The hearing aid is turned off when

the battery drawer is open.

Please remember to switch the hear-

ing aid off when it is not in use. Re-

move the battery if the hearing aid

will not be used for several days.

Possible settings

Your hearing aid can be set to start up in two different

ways: In the standard start-up setting your hearing aid

may whistle slightly while you place it on the ear. An al-

ternative is a setting where the hearing aid actively

suppresses whistling while it is being placed on the ear.

Together with your hearing care professional you can

choose the start-up setting that suits your needs best.

General

Automatic adjustment of loudness

The hearing aid adjusts loudness automatically in ac-

cordance with your sound environment. 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 information, consult your

hearing care professional.

Listening programs

Your hearing aid may be provided with several listen-

ing programs optimized for different listening situa-

tions. Your hearing care professional can help you se-

lect the programs that are of use to you. If your needs

change over time, the combination of listening pro-

grams can be changed. In these user’s instructions, the

hearing care professional should list the listening pro-

grams that are available in your hearing aid (see next

page).

Switching between the available listening programs

If the hearing aid is provided with a program button,

you can switch between the programs by pressing this

button at the bottom of the hearing aid.

Each time you switch to another program, you will hear

beep-tones. The beeps tell you which program you

have chosen:

Program 1: One brief beep

Program 2: Two brief beeps

Program 3: Three brief beeps

(depending on hearing aid model)

Some hearing aid models may be pro-

vided with a remote control. If your

hearing aid has a remote control, please

refer to the user’s instructions for the re-

mote control.
