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.

8 9

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. Grasp the battery with your thumb and index
finger 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 side 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.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for the

first time

1. Start in a quiet room at home first to get
used to the new sound quality. Sounds like
the ticking of a clock, the humming of the
computer, the beep of the microwave or the
rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud
to you at first, because you have not been
hearing them properly for a long time.

2. Read aloud to yourself and learn to correct
the volume of your own voice when you are
wearing the hearing aids.

3. Talk to different people and learn how to
distinguish between different sound patterns
again.

4. It will take some time before you are
completely used to your hearing aids and can
fully enjoy the benefits.

5. Wear your hearing aids for as many hours a
day as you can, and for a little longer each
day.

6. Make notes at the back of this booklet,
write down difficult situations and describe
what any unpleasant noises were like. This
information will help your hearing healthcare
professional to fine-tune the devices better
for you.

7. Involve your family and friends in this
familiarization period. For example,
ask someone to set the television to a
comfortable volume.

8. When you are beginning to get used to
wearing the hearing aids, wear them in more
difficult listening environments such as the
office, at parties or in restaurants. This can
be difficult even for people who can hear
normally. Give yourself time to regain your
ability to hear in these difficult situations.

9. Make your hearing aids part of your everyday
life and be patient with yourself until you
have retrained yourself to interpret the
sounds correctly.

Operating instructions

Your ITE hearing aids may come with two
controls that allow you to further adjust your
hearing aids – a rotary dial or scroll wheel and a
push button.

Rotary dial/scroll wheel

The rotary dial or scroll wheel

on your hearing aids can be
set up as either a volume

control, or comfort-clarity control.

Volume control

If the rotary dial or scroll wheel has been
configured as a volume control, you can adjust
the volume of your hearing aids by rotating the
rotary dial slowly forward towards your nose
or the scroll wheel slowly upward towards the
ceiling to increase the volume. Rotating the
rotary dial slowly backward away from your
nose or the scroll wheel slowly downward
towards the floor to decrease the volume. The

optional remote control also allows you to
adjust your volume levels; please refer to the
remote control user guide for more information.

As you change the volume level, your hearing

aids will beep.

the ceiling to improve the clarity of sounds
in front of you, such as speech. For greater
overall listening comfort in noisy listening
situations, rotate the rotary dial control slowly
backward away from your nose or the scroll

14 15

wheel slowly downward towards the floor. Each
step will change the hearing aid performance.
Sometimes multiple steps are required to
achieve the desired listening results. After each
step wait for about 4-5 seconds to allow the
hearing aid to adjust to the new setting.

As you change the comfort-clarity control level,

your hearing aids will beep.

DuoLink

If DuoLink is enabled, then changing the volume,
program or comfort-clarity settings on one
hearing aid, will automatically make the change
to both hearing aids at the same time. DuoLink
works for the push button and the rotary dial or
scroll wheel.

For example, if your push button is configured
as a program control and DuoLink is enabled,
when you push the button on your right hearing
aid, the program will change in both hearing
aids.

Learning

Your hearing aids will learn your adjustments
in different environments, if this feature is
available and has been enabled by your hearing
healthcare professional. Over time, the hearing
aids will adjust the default volume and comfort­clarity settings to the levels that you typically
use.

Remote control

Your hearing aids may also come with an

optional remote control which allows you to
switch between different listening programs,
and change your volume or comfort-clarity
settings.

20 21

Using the telephone

As telephones do not all work the same, you
may experience different results from different
phones. You can use many phones by simply
holding the receiver to your ear, without the
need to change to a dedicated telephone
program on your hearing aids. Remember to
move the handset slightly up or back to find the
position that sounds best to you.

Depending on the phone type you use, your
hearing healthcare professional might have
selected a dedicated phone program on your
hearing aids. Your hearing aids may have an
automatic telephone program (easy-t feature),
which automatically switches to a dedicated
telephone program when a telephone receiver
is brought close to one of your hearing aids. You
will hear a short melody to indicate you are in
the telephone (easy-t) program.

When the receiver is moved away from the
hearing aid it will automatically return to
the previous listening program. If DuoLink is
enabled on your hearing aids for the automatic
telephone program, both hearing aids are
synchronized and the listening program for
the opposite ear will also change when the
automatic telephone program is activated.

If the hearing aid does not switch to the
telephone program automatically when the
telephone receiver is placed in proximity, the
magnet for easy-t hearing aids should be
attached to the telephone receiver. The magnet
is designed to strengthen the magnetic field
at the ear piece of hearing aid compatible
telephones.

22 23

To affix the optional easy-t magnet:

1. Clean the telephone receiver.
Hold the magnet near
the “listening end” of your
telephone receiver and release
it. The magnet will flip to the
appropriate side and seek
the optimal position on the
telephone receiver.

2. Place the double-sided tape
in this optimal position on the
telephone receiver.

3. Attach the magnet to the tape.

Your hearing healthcare professional may also

have set up a phone program that you can access
through the push button on your hearing aids, or
through your optional remote control.

If your hearing aids are configured to work with the
wireless uDirect

™

2 neck worn accessory, you might

benefit from a Bluetooth

®

hands free option. Refer

to the uDirect 2 user guide for more information.

Caring for your hearing aids

Open the battery door when not in use.

Always remove your hearing aids when using

hair care products. The hearing aids can become
clogged and cease to function properly.

Do not wear your hearing aids in the bath or
shower or immerse them in water.

If your hearing aids do become wet, do not
attempt to dry them in an oven or microwave.
Do not adjust any controls. Open the battery
doors immediately, and allow your hearing aids
to dry naturally for 24 hours.

Protect your hearing aids from excessive heat

(hair dryer, vehicle glove box or dashboard).

Regular use of a dehumidifier, such as a Dri-Aid
kit, can help prevent corrosion and prolong the
life of your hearing aids.

Do not drop your hearing aids or knock them
against hard surfaces.

Cleaning your hearing aids

Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your
hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance
routine.

Using the brush that was provided with your
hearing aids, clean ear wax from your hearing
aids everyday.

Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids.

Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
can seriously damage them.

Talk to your hearing healthcare professional

about regular appointments to have the wax
removed from your hearing aids.

Signature features of your hearing aids

Comfort-clarity control

Your hearing aids automatically adjust to focus

on hearing speech more clearly or providing
comfort in noisy situations. Some Quantum
hearing aid models provide a control to adjust
your comfort-clarity settings.

Adjusting the comfort-clarity control up causes

your hearing aids to focus more on speech
clarity.

Adjusting the comfort-clarity control down

causes your hearing aids to soften background
noise, providing more comfort.

Comfort-clarity control adjustments can be
made using the controls on your hearing aids
or a remote control. Please talk with your
hearing healthcare professional to find out
which controls have been programmed for the
comfort-clarity control.

26 27

As you adjust the comfort-clarity control, your
Quantum hearing aids will gradually learn your
preferred comfort-clarity settings.

DuoLink

With DuoLink, your hearing aids wirelessly
communicate with each other. As you make
a program, comfort-clarity or volume change
on one hearing aid, the other hearing aid
automatically changes as well.

Binaural Phone

The Binaural Phone feature enables you to hold

a landline or mobile phone to one ear and hear
the sound clearly in both ears. No accessories
are required.

uDirect 2 and uTV 2

The uDirect™ 2 and uTV™ 2 are optional

accessories for Quantum wireless hearing aids.

uDirect 2 provides easy, hands-free access to
Bluetooth enabled devices, such as mobile
phones. It also has a wired audio jack to plug
in devices like MP3 players. uDirect 2 also
provides remote control functions to adjust your
hearing aids for increased listening comfort.

uTV 2 is used with the uDirect 2 to transmit
sound from your TV directly to your hearing aids.

The uTV 2 can also transmit sound from stereo

systems, computers and other audio sources.

For more information on using the uDirect 2
or uTV 2, please see the user guide for that
accessory. For information on how to get a
uDirect 2 or uTV 2 accessory, please contact
your hearing healthcare professional.

28 29

Assistive listening devices

Listening in public places

Telecoils pick up electromagnetic energy and

convert it into sound. Your hearing aid’s telecoil
option can help you listen in public places
equipped with telecoil compatible assistive
listening devices such as a loop system. When
you see this symbol, it means that
there is a loop system installed;
this loop system is compatible with
your hearing aid. Please contact
your hearing healthcare professional for more
information on loop systems.

Connecting to external audio sources

You can connect to external audio sources by

using the uDirect 2 optional wireless accessory.
Ask your hearing healthcare professional for
information about uDirect.

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.

34 35

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
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.

36 37

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.

Labeling

The serial number and year of manufacture are

located inside the battery door.

38 39

Warning to hearing aid dispensers
(to comply with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) regulations)

A hearing aid dispenser should advise a prospective hearing aid
user to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably
an ear specialist) before dispensing a hearing aid if the hearing
aid dispenser determines through inquiry, actual observation,
or review of any other available information concerning the
prospective user, that the prospective user has any of the

following conditions: (i) Visible congenital or traumatic deformity
of the ear. (ii) History of active drainage from the ear within the
previous 90 days. (iii) History of sudden or rapidly progressive

hearing loss within the previous 90 days. (iv) Acute or chronic
dizziness. (v) Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset

within the previous 90 days. (vi) Audiometric air-bone gap equal to
or greater than 15 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and 2,000

Hz. (vii) Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or
a foreign body in the ear canal. (viii) Pain or discomfort in the ear.
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing
aid whose maximum sound pressure level exceeds 132 decibels

because there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing
of the hearing aid user. [This provision is required only for those

hearing aids with a maximum sound pressure capability greater

than 132 decibels (dB).]

Important notice for prospective hearing aid users

Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss

have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably

a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before
purchasing a hearing aid.

Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear
are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or
otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is
to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect
hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is
purchased. Following the medical evaluation, the physician will
give you a written statement that states that your hearing loss
has been medically evaluated and that you may be considered
a candidate for a hearing aid. The physician will refer you to
an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a
hearing aid evaluation. The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser
will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability to
hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation
will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a hearing
aid to your individual needs. If you have reservations about your
ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the
availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option program. Many
hearing aid dispensers now offer programs that permit you to
wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after
which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to those individuals
who have obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed
physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a
waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for religious or
personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The
exercise of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its
use is strongly discouraged.

40 41

Children with hearing loss

In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a

child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist

for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause
problems in language development and the educational and social

growth of a child. An audiologist who is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child

with hearing loss is recommended.

Cell phone

Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound in their
hearing aids when they are using cell phones. According to the ANSI
C63.19 standard, the compatibility of a particular hearing aid and

cell phone can be predicted by adding the rating for the hearing aid

immunity to the rating for the cell phone emissions. The sum of the
hearing aid rating (e.g. M2/T2 = 2) and the telephone rating (e.g. M3/

T3 = 3) is 5, and any combination that equals 5 will provide ‘normal

use’. A sum of 6 or greater indicates ‘excellent performance’. The

equipment performance, measurements, categories and system
classifications are based upon the best information available but
cannot guarantee that all users will be satisfied.

The rating of this hearing aid is at least M2/T2. Your hearing

healthcare professional can provide the actual rating for this
hearing aid.

Note: the performance of the individual hearing aids may vary with
individual cell phones. Therefore, please try the hearing aid with your

cell phone or, if you are purchasing a new phone, please be sure to

try it with your hearing aid prior to purchase. For additional guidance,

please ask your hearing healthcare professional for the booklet
entitled “Hearing aid compatibility with digital wireless cell phones”.
