Thank you...

...for choosing a Widex hearing aid.

Your hearing aid is a sophisticated instrument that can

be adjusted to your requirements in consultation with

your hearing care professional.

All illustrations in this booklet

show a right-ear hearing aid. Un-

less otherwise stated, the same

principles apply to the left ear.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

The hearing aid

1. Microphone opening, where the sound enters the

hearing aid

2. Battery drawer

3. Nail grip on the battery drawer for easy opening

4. On/off function, which is built into the battery

drawer

5. Sound outlet, through which the amplified sound

from the hearing aid reaches your ear

6. Widex wax guard

7. Extraction cord, which makes it easy to remove the

hearing aid from the ear canal

8. Relief vent (short) for ventilation of the ear canal

9. Relief vent (full length) for ventilation of the ear

canal

Important

Please read this booklet carefully before you start

using your hearing aid.

At the back of this booklet your hearing care profes-

sional can indicate the type of vent used in your hear-

ing aid, if any.

Right/left identification

If you are wearing hearing aids

in both ears, it is easy to tell

them apart. Most models will be

marked with a red Widex logo for

the right ear and a blue logo for

the left ear. The arrow shows the

position of the logo. An alterna-

tive model has a red or a blue

shell, respectively.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in the

hearing aid, remember to remove the

adhesive tab on the battery. Once

the tab has been removed, the bat-

tery will start functioning after a few

seconds. Do not use batteries on which there is a sticky

residue from the tab or other unwanted substance.

The battery

We recommend Zinc Air batteries. Use a type 10 bat-

tery for your hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note of

the expiry date and the recommendations regarding dis-

posal of used batteries on the battery pack. 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.

10 11

1. Use the nail grip to open the battery drawer. Do not

press the battery drawer beyond the open position.

2. Place the battery in the drawer so that the small

plus (+) sign on the battery is visible when you hold

the hearing aid as shown.

3. 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.

Low battery indication

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 exhausted, the

hearing aid will be completely silent. Exactly how long

the hearing aid will function after the low battery indi-

cation varies from one case to another. We recommend

that you always have a spare battery with you.

If you wish to have the beep-tone function disabled,

please consult your hearing care professional.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.

Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing

aid. When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold

the hearing aid over a table.

Important

Be sure to place the battery in the curved battery

drawer as illustrated and not in the open space in-

side the hearing aid.

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer also functions as the on/off switch.

1. Close the battery drawer to turn on the hearing aid.

If you have just turned off the hearing aid, wait at

least three seconds before turning it on again.

2. Open the battery drawer to turn off the hearing aid.

The hearing aid can be set to produce a beep-tone

when turned on.

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.

1. 2.

Placing the hearing aid

1. Close the battery drawer completely.

2. Hold your hearing aid by the extraction cord

with your thumb and forefinger. Slowly guide

the hearing aid into your ear canal until you feel

resistance.

3. Let go of the extraction cord and use the tip of your

forefinger to gently push the hearing aid into your

ear until it rests comfortably in your canal.

4. To help position the hearing aid properly you could

pull the outer ear backwards and upwards with the

opposite hand.

14 15

Removing the hearing aid

Gently pull the extraction cord with

your thumb and forefinger.

If it is difficult, you can try to move

the hearing aid carefully from side

to side while pulling the extraction

cord. It may also help to pull the out-

er ear backwards and upwards with

the opposite hand.

Possible start-up settings

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

ways:

• In the standard start-up setting, the hearing aid

minimises whistling while it is being placed in the

ear.

• The alternative is a setting where the hearing aid

whistles slightly while you place it in the ear.

Together with your hearing care professional you can

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

Automatic volume adjustment

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in ac-

cordance with your sound environment.

Important

If the volume in your hearing aid is generally too

loud or too weak, or if the reproduced sounds are

distorted, or you would like any further information,

consult your hearing care professional.

16 17

Listening program

Your hearing aid is provided with a standard listening

program called Master.

Cleaning

The following accessories are available for cleaning the

hearing aid. Ask your hearing care professional which

accessories you need for your hearing aid.

1. Small brush

2. Soft cloth

3. Wax removing tool with a short and a long end

4. Long wax removing tool

Contact your hearing care professional if you need ad-

ditional supplies of cleaning accessories.

The hearing aid

The hearing aid is a completely-in-canal hearing aid.

It is very important for the hearing aid’s performance

that it is kept free from earwax and dirt.

1. Clean your hearing aid daily with the soft cloth to

keep it dry and clean of earwax and dirt. Never clean

the hearing aid with water or cleaning solutions.

2. When the hearing aid is not in use, the battery

drawer should be left open, so as to ventilate the

hearing aid and allow it to dry.

We recommend that every time you take the hearing

aid out of your ear, you inspect the sound outlet, the

microphone opening in the battery drawer and the

relief vent opening to ensure that no wax or dirt has

gathered there.

Below is an example of how the sound outlet, relief

vent and microphone opening can be positioned in a

hearing aid provided with a short vent and a full length

vent, respectively. The positions can be slightly differ-

ent on your hearing aid.

1. Sound outlet

2. Relief vent (short)

3. Microphone opening

1. Sound outlet

2. Relief vent outlet (full length)

3. Relief vent inlet (full length)

4. Microphone opening
