Expected operating time for rechargeable battery depends on use pattern, active feature set, hearing loss, sound environment, battery age and use of wireless accessories.

Technical data measured with expansion, corresponding to the test box measurement settings.

“2cc” refers to a coupler according to IEC 60318-5:20 06. “Ear simulator” refers to a coupler according to IEC 60318-4:2010.

Applied versions: IEC 60118-0 /A1:19 94, IEC 60118-1 /A1:1998, IEC 60118-7: 2005, ANSI S3.22: 2014, IEC 60118-0:2015.

Full-on gain is measured with the gain control of the hearing instruments set to its full-on position minus 20 dB and with an input SPL of 70 dB. This is to obtain a gain response equal to

the full -on gain response from e.g. IEC 60118-0+A1:1994 but without inﬂuence of feedback.

Warning: Special care should be taken when ﬁtting and using a hearing instrument with maximum sound pressure capability in excess of 132 dB SPL (IEC 60318-4) since there may be a

risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
