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 aer the removal of the hearing
aid, contact a physician immediately.
Remove your hearing aids for CT and
MRI scans or for other electromagnetic
procedures.
4 5
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.
Magnet warnings
Be sure the magnet is securely axed 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 aect 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.
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 benet. 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
6 7
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 dierent direction or locate
the cell phone and move away from it.
Note to hearing healthcare professional
Domes should never be tted 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.
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 = le ear.
Hearing aids 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.

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. Aer the low battery warning, sounds
may not be as clear. This is normal and can be
xed by changing the batteries in the hearing
aids.
If you are not able to hear the low battery
warning, your hearing healthcare professional
can change its pitch or loudness. If you prefer, it
can be turned o 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.

battery compartment with the
plus (+) sign on the battery
facing the same way as the

the battery door. This will
ensure that the battery door
