Warnings
Hearing aids should only be used as directed
by your physician or hearing healthcare
professional.
Hearing aids will not restore normal hearing
and will not prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from organic conditions.
Do not use your hearing aids in explosion
hazard areas.
Allergic reactions to hearing aids are unlikely.
However, if you experience itching, redness,
soreness, inflammation or a burning
sensation in or around your ears, inform your
hearing healthcare professional and contact
your physician.
In the unlikely case that any parts remain in
the ear canal after the removal of the hearing
aid, contact a physician immediately.
Remove your hearing aids for CT and
MRI scans or for other electromagnetic
procedures.
Special care should be exercised in wearing
hearing aids when maximum sound
pressure levels exceed 132 decibels. There
may be a risk of impairing your remaining
hearing. Speak with your hearing healthcare
professional to ensure the maximum output
of your hearing aids is suitable for your
particular hearing loss.
Easy-t magnet warnings
Be sure the magnet is securely affixed to the
telephone.
Keep loose magnets out of reach of children
and pets.
If the magnet falls into your ear, contact your
hearing healthcare professional.
If the magnet is swallowed, contact your
physician immediately.
The magnet may affect some medical devices
or electronic systems. Always keep the
magnet (or the telephone equipped with
the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”) away from
6 7
pacemakers, credit cards, floppy disks or
other magnetically sensitive devices.
Too high distortion during dialing or
phoning may mean that the phone handset
is stressed by the magnet. To avoid any
damage, please move the magnet to another
place on the telephone receiver.
Battery warnings
Never leave hearing aids or batteries where
small children and pets can reach them.
Never put hearing aids or batteries in
your mouth. If a hearing aid or battery is
swallowed, call a physician immediately.
Precautions
The use of hearing aids is only part of hearing
rehabilitation; auditory training and lip
reading instruction may be required as well.
In most cases, infrequent use of hearing aids
does not provide full benefit. Once you have
become accustomed to your hearing aids,
wear your hearing aids everyday all day.
Your hearing aids use the most modern
components to provide the best possible
sound quality in every listening situation.
However, communication devices such as
digital cell phones can create interference
(a buzzing sound) in hearing aids. If you
experience interference from a cell phone
being used close by, you can minimize this
interference in a number of ways. Switch your
hearing aids to another program, turn your
head in a different direction or locate the cell
phone and move away from it.
Note to hearing healthcare professional
Domes should never be fitted on patients
with perforated eardrums, exposed middle
ear cavities, or surgically altered ear
canals. In the case of such a condition, we
recommend to use a customized ear mold.
Labeling
The serial number and year of manufacture are
located inside the battery door.

Moxi Kiss with custom shells
1. Hold the custom shell
between your thumb and
index finger. The opening
should be pointing in
towards your ear canal
with the hearing aid resting
upwards over the top of
your ear.
2. Carefully insert the custom
shell into your ear. The
shell should fit into your
ear snugly and comfortably.
3. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.
Putting your hearing aids on your ears
Your hearing aids may be color-coded with a small
dot that is visible when the battery door is open:
red = right ear; blue = left ear.
Moxi Kiss with domes
1. Hold the wire where it
attaches to the dome and
gently push the dome into
your ear canal. The wire
should lie flush against your
head and not stick out.
2. Place the hearing aid over the
top of your ear.
3. Place the retention piece
in your ear so it rests at the
bottom of the opening of
your ear canal.

Turning your hearing aids on and off
Your hearing aids have a three-position battery
door that acts as an on/off switch and that
allows access to the battery compartment.
1. On: Close the battery door
fully.
Note: It may take 5 seconds
before the hearing aids turn on.
Your hearing healthcare provider
can additionally increase the
start up delay if required.
2. Off: Partially open the battery
door.
3. Open: Fully open the battery
door to access and change the
battery.
Note: When turning your hearing
aid on and off while it is on the
ear, grasp the top and bottom of
the hearing aid with your index
finger and thumb. Use the index finger of your
opposite hand to open and close the battery door.
Battery information
To replace the battery, fully open the battery door
for access to the battery compartment.
Low battery warning
Two long beeps indicate the hearing aid battery
is low. After the low battery warning, you may
experience some reduction in sound quality. This
is normal and can be remedied by inserting fresh
batteries into the hearing aids.
If you are not able to hear the low battery
warning, your hearing healthcare professional
can change the pitch or loudness of the low
battery warning. If you prefer, it can be turned off
entirely.
Your hearing aids are designed to generate a
low battery warning every 30 minutes until you
change the batteries, but depending on the
condition of the batteries, they may die before
another low battery warning occurs. Therefore, it
is recommended that the batteries are replaced
as soon as possible once you hear the low
battery warning.

Replacing the battery
1. Gently swing out the battery
door with your fingernail.
2. Push the battery with your
thumb and index finger
towards the open side, and
remove.
3. Insert the new battery into the
battery compartment with the
plus (+) sign on the battery
facing the same way as the
plus (+) sign on the edge of
the battery door. This will
ensure that the battery door
closes properly.
Note: If the battery is inserted
incorrectly, the hearing aid will
not turn on.
4. Close the battery door.

Caring for batteries
Always discard batteries in a safe and
environmentally friendly way.
To prolong battery life, remember to turn your
hearing aids off when not in use.
Remove the batteries and keep the battery door
open while hearing aids are not in use. This will
allow internal moisture to evaporate.
