Warnings
You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire
contents of this booklet before using your hearing instrument.
Usage of he aring instrument s
• Hearing instruments should be used only as directed and adjusted by your Hearing
Care Professional. Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing instrument as incorrect/wrongful usage could
cause permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking Hazards
• Hearing instruments, their parts, and batteries are not toys and should be kept out
of reach of children and anyone who might swallow these items or otherwise cause
injury to themselves.
• Never change the battery or adjust the controls of the hearing instruments in front
of infants, small children or people with learning difficulties.
• Discard batteries carefully in a place where infants, small children or people with
learning difficulties cannot reach them.
Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills.
Page 8
10 11
• Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they
are slippery and could be swallowed by accident.
• Most hearing instruments can be supplied with a tamper-resistant battery compartment upon request. This is strongly recommended for infants, small children, and
people with learning difficulties.
Battery use
• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional. Batteries of low
quality may leak and cause bodily harm.
• Never attempt to recharge your batteries. They may explode and cause serious injury.
• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that they will explode and
cause serious injury.
Dysfunc tion in hearing ins truments
• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or
if the tubing is blocked by moisture or earwax. You should be aware of this possibility,
in particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent on warning sounds.
Active Implants
• The included case for instrument storage has a built-in magnet. If you have an
implantable device, such as pacemakers or defibrillators, the instrument case should
not be carried in a chest pocket or near to the chest.
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing instrument has insufficient energy to cause fire in
normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning explosive atmospheres. It is recommended
not to use your hearing instruments in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning an d electrothera py
• Remove your hearing instrument for example during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning
electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing instruments may be damaged when exposed
to strong fields.
Power Instruments
• Special care should be exercised in selecting, fitting and using a hearing instrument
where maximum sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711) as there may
be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
Page 9

Possible si de effects
• Hearing instruments or ear moulds may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax.
• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may in rare cases
cause a skin irritation or any other unusual condition.
Please, seek consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.
Interference
• Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to
the most stringent international standards. However, interference with your hearing
instrument and other devices may occur, for example for some mobile telephones,
citizens band devices and shop alarm systems. If this occur increase the distance
between the hearing instrument and the device.
Activating the hearing instrument for the first time
A hearing instrument is a miniature electronic devices that run on special batteries.
To activate the hearing instrument, you must insert a fresh battery in the battery
compartment.
The hearing instrument will start up when the battery door is closed. It will take a few
seconds until sound is produced. A jingle is played while the start up process is running.

Left/Right ear marking
Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have
two instruments then your left hearing instrument is programmed differently from your
right. That is why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing instrument and
the right.
In order to easily identify whether it is the left ear or right ear instrument, the Hearing
Care Professional may apply colour markings inside the battery door.
Blue marks the LEFT instrument.
Red marks the RIGHT instrument.

Caring for your hearing instrument
Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which may clog up the sound outlet or the
ventilation opening of your ear mould. To prevent wax accumulation from causing a
change in performance, the guidelines in this section should be followed.
When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a soft surface to avoid damage if you
drop it.
Before re tiring at night:
• Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the ear mould openings since it may
reduce the hearing instrument’s efficiency.
• Open the battery door to allow air to circulate.
Page 20

Washing the ear moulds
The ear moulds should be washed regularly:
• Disconnect the ear mould and the tubing from the sound
hook of the hearing instrument.
• Wash the ear mould in lukewarm water using a mild soap.
Do not use strong detergents.
• Rinse with water.
• Dry the ear mould.
• Any water drops inside the ear mould or tubing should be
blown out. A special device for this purpose (an ear mould
blower) is available from your Hearing Care Professional.
The hearing instrument itself must never be washed
or immersed in water or other liquids!
• Make sure the ear mould and tubing are completely dry before they are reconnected to
the hearing instrument. Be careful that the left ear mould and tubing are connected to
the hearing instrument with the left ear marking and vice versa for the right ear
instrument.
Replacing the tubing
The tubing in the ear mould should be replaced when it becomes yellow or stiff.
Consult your Hearing Care Professional in relation to this.
IM PORTA NT N OTICE
The hearing instrument itself must never be washed or immersed in water
or other liquids!
Page 22
38 39
Avoiding heat, humidity and chemicals
Your hearing instrument must never be exposed to extreme heat e.g. left inside a parked
car in the sun. They must never be exposed to a lot of moisture e.g. steam baths, showers
or heavy rain. Nor must they be dried in microwave ovens or other ovens.
Wipe the batteries carefully if moisture is present as it may affect their performance.
Using an anti-humidity kit can help to avoid these problems and may even extend the
life of your hearing instrument. Consult your Hearing Care Professional for further advice.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, aftershave lotion, suntan lotion and
insect repellant can damage your hearing instrument. You should always remove your
hearing instrument before applying such products and allow time for the product to
dry before refitting your hearing instrument. If you use lotion, be sure to wipe your
hands dry before putting on your hearing instrument.

IM PORTA NT N OTICE
The dome is made of a soft material. If the dome comes off in the ear canal, it will not
cause any harm. If you can, carefully take it out. If necessary, let another person help
you. Do not push the dome into the ear canal.
Do not push the tube into the ear again before the dome is removed from the ear.
If you have any doubts about how to proceed if the dome comes off, contact your
Hearing Care Professional.
CARING FOR YOUR HEARING INSTRUMENT
IM PORTA NT N OTICE
• Only use parts designed for your hearing instruments.
• The cleaning tools should only be used for cleaning the tubing when it is detached
from the hearing instrument and not on the ear.
• The dome must be properly attached to the sound tube before inserting it in your
ear. Failure to follow the instructions could result in injury.
• The tube should never be used without a dome attached.
• Do not use hearing instruments in ears with excessive ear wax accumulation or
infection.
• Proper preventive care and maintenance will go a long way toward ensuring
reliability and safe performance.
• Clean your sound tube on a regular basis.
• Do not share your hearing aids or any of the parts with other people.
• Ensure your hands are clean when handling the hearing instrument and its parts.

Seven easy steps to better hearing
Over the first days and weeks of using your hearing instruments, you will experience
sounds that will be new to you, especially if you have not worn hearing instruments
previously. Now is the time to experiment with listening to these new or long-forgotten
sounds.
1. In the quiet of your home
Try to acclimate yourself to all the new sounds. Listen to the many background sounds
and try to identify each sound. Bear in mind that some sounds will seem different from
what you are used to. You may have to learn to identify them again. Note that in time you
will get accustomed to the sounds in your environment – if not please contact your
Hearing Care Professional.
If using the hearing instruments makes you tired, take them off for a little while and have
a rest. Gradually, you will begin to be able to listen for longer periods of time. Soon, you
will be able to wear your hearing instruments comfortably all day long.
45
2. Conversation with another person
Sit with someone else in a quiet room. Face each other so you can read facial expressions
easily. You may notice new speech sounds, which can seem a little different in the
beginning. However, after the brain has adapted to the new speech sounds, you should
hear speech clearer.
3. Lis ten to radio or TV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since
they usually speak clearly, then try other programs.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, ask your Hearing Care Professional for more
information regarding available accessories.
4. In group conversations
Group situations are usually accompanied by a greater degree of background noise, and
are, therefore, naturally more difficult to cope with. In such situations, therefore, focus your
attention on the person you want to hear. If you miss a word, ask the speaker to repeat.
Page 26
46 47
5. Telecoil use i n church, theatre or c inema
An increasing number of churches, theatres and public buildings may have loop systems
installed. These systems send out wireless sound to be received by the telecoil in your
hearing instrument. Typically, a sign will let you know whether the place has a loop
system. Ask your Hearing Care Professional for details.
6. Using the telephone
When using the telephone tilt the receiver edge lightly on your
cheek-bone and position the phone slightly over the ear close
to the hearing instrument’s microphone. The sound then flows
directly into the hearing instrument’s microphone opening.
This way, the hearing instruments will not whistle, and you
ensure the best conditions to understand the conversation.
When you have th e receiver in this position, remember to
speak directly into the mouthpiece on the telephone in
order to ensure good understanding on the other “end of
the line”.
If you find it difficult to use the telephone, ask your Hearing Care Professional for more
information regarding available accessories.
If your hearing instrument has a telecoil (and your telephone has a built in tele-loop*)
you can switch into telecoil program in order to improve the sound reception further.
Remember that the telecoil in your hearing instruments may pick up unwanted signals
from electronic devices, such as fax machines, computers, televisions or similar. Make
sure that the hearing instrument has a distance of 6-10 feet from such devices when
using the telecoil program.
7. Wireles s and mobiles
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of
International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However not all mobiles are hearing
instrument compatible. The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of
your particular mobile.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cell telephone, ask your
Hearing Care Professional for more information regarding available accessories.
* Tele-loop is a common standard for assisted listening and transmits the audio to the
telecoil in the hearing instrument.
Page 27
48 49
Use your hear ing instruments a ll day long
The best way to ensure better hearing is to practice listening until you can wear your
hearing instruments comfortably all day. In most cases, you will not get the full benefit
of the hearing instruments if you use them infrequently.
Your hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing. Nor will they prevent or
improve a hearing impairment resulting from a physiological condition. What they will
give you, however, is help towards making better use of the hearing ability that you have.
If you have two hearing instruments, always wear both.
