Congratulations !
As the owner of a new hearing system, you may once again enjoy the sounds of your environment, and conversation with your family and friends.
These instructions as well as guidance from your hearing instrument specialist will help you understand how your new hearing system works. In this guide, you’ll find instructions about insertion, removal and use of your ARTIS TM hearing system. There are also tips and information on proper handling, cleaning, care and changing of the batteries. In addition, a troubleshooting section is offered for your reference.
Your hearing improvement with a hearing system depends on the fit of the hearing instruments, the type and degree of hearing loss, and proper diagnostic testing. Of course, a hearing system cannot restore normal hearing, and not everyone will benefit equally.
More than 80 percent of individuals with a hearing loss have a hearing loss in both ears. Studies show that even when a hearing loss is worse in one ear, most people with a hearing loss in both ears will benefit from wearing two instruments.
Remember, a hearing system consists of finely-tuned devices that have been specially designed and expertly adjusted for your individual needs. Proper care and handling will ensure the best possible performance of your ARTIS hearing system.

Battery insertion and removal
Handling the battery
The protective tab on your battery should only be removed when you are ready to use the battery.
Three useful tips:
•The positive (+) side of the battery is always the smooth side. You can recognize the negative (-) side by the colored ring.
•Always keep spare batteries with you
•If you feel you cannot change the battery by yourself, ask someone to help you: a family member, friend or your hearing instrument specialist.
Inserting the battery
Open the battery compartment with your fingernail as shown in the illustration.
Swivel open the battery compartment door, if not already open. Place the proper size battery (Type 312) so that the "+” symbol on the battery matches the "+” marked on the battery compartment.
