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.

Unless 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 openings, where the sound enters the

hearing aid.

2. Volume control for fine tuning of volume is avail-

able on some models.

3. Program button

4. On/off function, which is integrated into the bat-

tery compartment cover.

5. Nail grip for easy opening of the battery compart-

ment cover

6. Sound outlet, through which the amplified sound

from the hearing aid reaches your ear.

7. Widex wax guard

8. Vent for ventilation of the ear canal. (Not in all mod-

els).

Important

Please read this booklet carefully before you start using

your hearing aid.

6 7

Function signals

Your hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indi-

cate the use of certain functions. The signal can be a

spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing care

professional in consultation with you. The signal can

also be deactivated.

Right/left identification

If you are wearing hearing aids in

both ears, it is easy to tell them apart

as the right-ear hearing aid has a red

Widex logo and the left-ear hearing

aid a blue.

The arrow shows the position of the

logo.

The battery

We recommend Zinc Air batteries. Use a size 312 bat-

tery for your hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note of

the expiration date and the recommendations regard-

ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack. 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.

8 9

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in

the hearing aid, remember to re-

move the adhesive tab on the bat-

tery. Once the tab has been re-

moved, 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.

1. Use the nail grip to push the battery compartment

cover downwards and open the cover. Do not press

the battery compartment cover beyond the open

position.

2. Place the battery so that the plus (+) sign of the bat-

tery faces upwards.

3. You can use the provided battery magnet to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery compartment cover does not close easily,

the battery is incorrectly inserted.

Low battery indication

In the standard setting, the hearing aid will produce a

spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted

(see page 6). If a setting with tone indication has been

chosen, four beep-tones will be produced. 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 indication varies from

one case to another. We recommend that you always

have a spare battery with you.

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.

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery compartment cover of your hearing aid

also functions as the on/off switch.

1. Close the battery compartment cover and push it

upwards to turn the hearing aid on. If you have just

turned off the hearing aid, wait at least three sec-

onds before turning it on again.

2. Push the battery compartment cover downwards to

turn the hearing aid off.

In the standard setting a spoken message will indicate

that the hearing aid has been switched on (see page

6).

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.

Placing the hearing aid

Close the battery compartment cover completely.

1. Hold your hearing aid with your thumb and forefin-

ger. Slowly guide the hearing aid into your ear canal

until you feel resistance.

2. Let go of the hearing aid and use the tip of your

forefinger to gently push it into your ear until it

rests comfortably in your ear canal.

3. To help position the hearing aid properly you could

pull the outer ear backwards and upwards with the

opposite hand.

12 13

Removing the hearing aid

Hold the hearing aid with your

thumb and forefinger and pull

gently.

If it is difficult, you can try to move

the hearing aid carefully from side

to side. It may also help to pull the

outer 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 mini-

mizes 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.

14 15

Automatic volume adjustment

The hearing aid adjusts volume automatically in accor-

dance 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.

Fine tuning volume

Your hearing aid may be provided with a volume con-

trol, shaped like a small lever. (The lever on your hear-

ing aid may be positioned differently than the lever in

the drawing).

Push the lever upwards to gradu-

ally raise the automatically set

volume.

Push the lever downwards to gra-

dually lower the volume.

16 17

Each time you operate the volume control, you will

hear a beep-tone – unless you have chosen to have the

tone indication deactivated (see page 6). When you

raise the volume, you will hear a higher beep-tone for

each step the volume is raised. When you lower the vol-

ume, you will hear a deeper beep-tone for each step

the volume is lowered. When the maximum or mini-

mum adjustment level is reached, a steady tone will

sound.

To turn off the sound completely:

• Keep pressing the volume control lever downwards

after the steady tone has sounded.

To turn the sound on again:

• Press the lever upwards or

• Change listening program or

• Turn the hearing aid off, wait 3 seconds and turn it on

again

Any adjustment of the volume setting will be cancelled

when your hearing aid is turned off.

If you wish to have the volume control disabled, please

consult your hearing care professional.

Listening programs

Your hearing aid may be provided with up to four lis-

tening programs intended for specific listening situa-

tions.

At the back of this booklet your hearing care profes-

sional can list which of the following listening pro-

grams are available in your hearing aid. If your needs

change over time, the combination of those listening

programs can be changed.

Master: Standard program

Acclimatization: Has the same features as the Master

program, but provides slightly less amplification.

Music: For listening to music.

TV: For listening to the TV.

Comfort: Attenuates background noise

Audibility Extender: Makes high-frequency sounds

audible.

T: In this program you listen via the telecoil (T) and not

via the hearing aid microphone (M). The telecoil is used

where a specially adapted telephone or loop system is

installed. If you activate the telecoil program, you listen

to a specific sound source and shut out surrounding

sounds.

18 19

M + T: In this program you listen via the hearing aid

microphone (M) and the telecoil (T).

* Zen: Makes fractal tones. The generated sounds are

adjusted according to your hearing loss.

The Zen program may be used with amplification so

both the surrounding sounds and the fractal tones are

heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without

amplification) in quiet when you are not required to

hear surrounding sounds.

If your hearing aid is provided with this program op-

tion, up to two listening programs with one Zen style

each can be programmed. Furthermore, a special Zen

program can be made available. This is called Zen+ and

can contain up to three Zen styles.

* NOTE: The Zen listening program is only available

in mind440, mind330Z and mind220Z series models.

Zen+ is only available in the mind440 series.

Zen program

Your hearing aid may be provided with a unique op-

tional listening program called Zen. It makes musical

tones (and sometimes a rushing noise) in the back-

ground using the latest in Fractal technology. These

sounds are shaped according to your hearing loss so

you can listen to them at any time and at any place with

a simple push of the program button. The Zen program

may be used alone (without amplification) in quiet

when you are not required to hear surrounding sounds.

Or, it may be used with the Master program so both the

surrounding sounds and the generated sounds (fractal

tones and noise) are heard together.

Benefits

The Zen program provides a relaxing listening back-

ground for some people. When the Zen program is

used in a tinnitus management program, its wearer

may experience some relief from tinnitus.

Important

Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with

hearing surrounding sounds including speech. The pro-

grams should not be used when hearing such sounds is

important. Switch the hearing aid to a non-Zen pro-

gram in those situations.
