HEARING AID
3-20-41 Higashimotomachi, Kokubunji, Tokyo 185-8533, Japan
HB-G1E
HOW TO USE YOUR FIRST HEARING AID
z 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.
z If this is your first 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.
3. Open the battery holder with the tip of your
finger.
4. Insert the battery into the battery
holder. You do not have to worry
about the polarity.
5. Close the battery holder.
Battery life (PR48 or 13, for continuous use)
ANSI: Approx. 280 hours
IEC: Approx. 260 hours
- Battery life will change depending on the operating
condition.
Putting on Hearing Aid
1. Place the hearing aid on the ear.

FOR KEEPING YOUR HEARING AID LONGER
z Always keep the hearing aid clean. Clean the hearing aid with
dry cloth periodically and also remove earwax plugged in the
earpiece or earmold using eyebrush or toothbrush.
z Do not expose the hearing aid to the heat from stoves, etc. Also,
avoid leaving it in places with high humidity.
z Operate the controls with care. Do not press hard.
z If the hearing aid is dropped in water, wipe with dry cloth and ask
the dispenser for check.
z Do not pick the microphone with nail, pin, etc., because this may
damage the microphone.
z Do not disassemble or attempt any repairs by yourself. Ask the
dispenser for repair.

2. Turn the power on.
3. Adjust the volume control to a suitable level.
z Volume control
Higher numbers mean louder sound.
z Tube and earpiece shown above are not included as standard
accessories in some countries.
z * The communication connector serves for adjustment of the
hearing aid by the hearing aid professional.
* Adjust the volume according to the situation (volume of
other voices, ambient noise, etc.).

z Memory selection (using selector switch)
If sounds are hard to hear
depending on the environment,
such as in a noisy or quiet
environment, change the setting of
the memory selector to find the
position that yields best results.
* The memory selector switch (M2/
M) is programmed to match your
hearing pattern. Operate the switch
to find the position that yields best
results in a given situation.
z Switch operation sound

M2ÆM: one beep M Æ M2: two beeps
in the "M" or "M2" position, acoustic feedback (howling) may
occur.
2. Be sure to set the switch to "O" and take out the battery,
when not using the hearing aid.
Turn-on precaution
If you switch the hearing aid off and then immediately on again,
there may be no sound, but this is not a defect. In such a case,
return the switch to "O" (Off), wait for at least 10 seconds, and
then set the switch to "M" or "M2" again.
Adjusting the Controls
This hearing aid is a digital type. To adjust it, a computer (with
NOAH and the Rionet Selector installed) and a HI-PRO unit are
required. Have the adjustment done at the dealer.
Removing Hearing Aid
1. Set the switch to "O" (power off) before
removing the hearing aid. If the switch is left
