The battery

Battery type

The recommended battery type for your Inteo

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 set-

ting of your hearing aid, how many hours you use it

daily and the listening environments in which you

use it.

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.

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 func-

tions as the on/off switch.

The hearing aid is turned on

when the switch is pushed up-

wards, and off when the

switch is pushed downwards.

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 Inteo 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.

Possible settings when turning on

your hearing aid

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

rent 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 whistling

while the earmold is being inserted in the ear. To-

gether with your hearing care professional you can

choose the start-up setting that suits your needs

best.

Removing Inteo

Turn off your hearing aid before removing it. Re-

move the hearing aid from its position behind the

ear. Carefully pull the earmold out of the ear canal,

while holding the lower part of the tubing. If it is

difficult, it may help to try to move the earmold

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

Inteo adjusts loudness automatically in accordance

with your sound environment. Several thousand

times per second, Inteo analyzes the surroundings

and tailors its sound accordingly. With Inteo 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.

Fine tuning loudness

Your hearing aid may be pro-

vided with a volume control,

shaped like a small lever. Push

the lever upwards to raise the

automatically set volume.

Push the lever downwards to

lower the volume. Use short

touches for minor corrections

of the volume. Faster adjustments are obtained by

keeping the lever pressed for some seconds.

Each time you operate the volume control, you will

hear a beep-tone. For modification of the beep-

tones or disabling of the beep-tone function or vol-

ume control, please consult your hearing care pro-

fessional.

Any adjustment of the volume setting will be can-

celled when your hearing aid is turned off.

Listening programs

Your Inteo hearing aid may be provided with up to

five listening programs optimized for different lis-

tening situations. Your hearing care professional

will select the programs that are of use to you and

make them available on the hearing aid program

button. If your needs change over time, the combi-

nation of listening programs can be changed. In

these user’s instructions, the hearing care profes-

sional can list the listening programs that are avail-

able in your hearing aid (see page 22). The choice

will be made from the following programs:
