Cautions: Special care must be taken in case the sound pres-
sure level exceeds 132 dB as this may further impair
the user's residual hearing.
Selecting Earpiece
Remove the tube from the earhook.
Insert the earpiece into your ear. If this
earpiece does not t your ear, replace
it with other one.
Earmold
The earmold is made just for your own ear, so that
it can completely t your ear.
If the earpiece does not t your ear and whistling
occurs, use of the earmold is recommended.
Consult the dealer.
HOW TO USE YOUR FIRST HEARING AID
Any hearing aid cannot return level of your hearing to normal or
halt further hearing deterioration, but proper use of your hearing
aid can help you hear what is going on around you and let you
get more enjoyment of life.
If this is your rst hearing aid, you - like most new users - will
probably be surprised at the loudness of the sounds, and after
using it for a short while, you may even feel that it is too noisy. The
following three tips are important in overcoming your concerns.
1) Read this manual and become familiar with the hearing aid's
various mechanisms and how to use them correctly.
2) First, use your hearing aid in a quiet place and listen to quiet
sounds and give yourself sufficient time to get accustomed to
the sound of your hearing aid.
3) If any physical problems develop, consult your doctor.

OT M
O: Power Off
Set to "O" when the hearing aid is not in use.
T: Induction coil (telephone coil)
Set to "T" when the hearing aid is used for telephone or loop system.
When the switch of the hearing aid is set to T, noise may be heard
in the vicinity of electromagnetic elds, such as generated for
example by electronically secured gates or similar.
M: Microphone
Set to "M" for normal use.
When taking off the hearing aid, set the switch to "O". If not, acoustic
feedback may occur.
Volume Control

the volume control. The best position of the control will
depend upon the distance and voice of the person to
whom you are talking; readjustment may be necessary.
When using the hearing aid for the rst time, set
the control for a minimum sound level to hear, then
increase the volume gradually.
When you remove the hearing aid from your ear
Set the switch to "O" to power off
and remove the hearing aid from

When removing the hearing aid with
the switch setting "M" or "T", acoustic feedback (high-pitched sounds)
might be heard.
