Welcome

Congratulations on your new hearing aid.
Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it.

Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid.

NOTE

Your hearing aid and its accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in this
booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes we consider necessary.

Important safety information

Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.

Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used
improperly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or
even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact your local emergency
number or hospital immediately.

Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to
ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.

Contact your doctor or hearing care professional immediately if you
suspect you may have an ear infection or an allergic reaction.

Contact your hearing care professional if the hearing aid doesn't feel
comfortable, or if it doesn't fit properly, causing irritation, redness or the
like.

Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair
dryer.

Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion
or cream.

Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.

Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use
yours, as this could damage your hearing.

Never use your hearing aids in environments where there may be
explosive gases, such as in mines, etc.

9

Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from
children and mentally disabled people.

Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself. Contact your hearing
care professional if you need to have your hearing aid repaired.

Your hearing aids contain radio communication technology. Always
observe the environment in which you are using them. If any restrictions
apply, you must take precautions to comply with these.

Please note that streaming sound to your hearing aids at a high volume
can prevent you from hearing other important sounds such as alarms
and traffic noise. In such situations make sure to keep the volume of the
streamed sound at a suitable level.

Your hearing aid is very powerful and it can play sounds that exceed a
level of 132 dB. There may therefore be a risk of damaging your
remaining hearing.

Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high
humidity, and dry them quickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.

Your hearing aids should be stored and transported within the temperature
and humidity ranges of -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and 10%-95% rH.

Your hearing aids are designed to operate within the temperature, humidity
and atmospheric pressure ranges of 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F), 10%-95% rH
and 750 to 1060 mBar.

You can find technical data sheets and additional information on your
hearing aids on https://global.widex.com.

THE HEARING AID

Indications for use

The hearing aids are indicated for individuals older than 36 months with a
range of hearing loss from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe-to-profound (100
dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.

They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals
(audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in
hearing (re)habilitation.

Hearing aids with rechargeable batteries

Hearing aids with rechargeable batteries should NOT be used by children
younger than 4 years of age or mentally disabled people.

Intended use

The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification devices to be
used in everyday listening environments. The hearing aids may be equipped
with the Zen program, intended to provide a relaxing sound background
(i.e. music/noise source) for adults who desire to listen to such a
background in the quiet.

The zinc-air battery

Use a type 312 zinc-air battery for your hearing aid.
Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recommended by

your hearing care professional.

11

NOTE

Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before
inserting it in the hearing aid. Otherwise your hearing aid may not function as
expected.

Never attempt to recharge a zinc-air hearing aid battery, as it could
explode.

Never leave a flat battery in the hearing aids while storing them. It could
leak and ruin your hearing aid.

Dispose of used batteries as indicated on the packaging and take note of
the expiry date.

Low battery indication

When the battery is flat, a sound signal will play. If the battery drains
suddenly there may however be no warning. We recommend carrying a
spare battery with you wherever you go.

Changing the battery

To change the battery, do as follows:

Take the adhesive tab off the new battery and make
sure there is no sticky substance left on it. Let it
"breathe" for 60 seconds.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery door
open and remove the old battery.

12

Now place the new battery in the drawer as shown.
Close the drawer. If it doesn't close easily, the
battery is not placed correctly.
If you are not using the hearing aid for a few days,
remove the battery.

NOTE

Avoid dropping your hearing aid - hold the hearing aid above a soft surface
while changing the battery.

WARNING - KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

● For some types of button batteries, swallowing may lead to serious
injury in as little as two hours or death, due to chemical burns and the
potential perforation of the oesophagus.

● If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, call
the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre immediately on 13 11 26 for fast,
expert advice.

● Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly
secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened.
Do not use if compartment is not secure.

● Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Used/
discharged batteries can still be dangerous.

● Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to
keep their children safe.

13

Tamper-resistant battery drawer

If the hearing aid is going to be used by a child or a mentally disabled
person, you can ask your hearing care professional to provide it with a
tamper-resistant battery drawer.

To open battery drawer, use the special tool you've
received, and do as illustrated.

NOTE

This option is not available if your hearing aids use silver-zinc rechargeable
batteries.

The silver-zinc battery

Use a type 312 silver-zinc battery for your hearing aid.
Always use a new battery supplied by your hearing care professional.

Dispose of used batteries as indicated on the packaging and take note of
the expiry date.

NOTE

Recharge the batteries before using your hearing aids.

14

NOTE

If you are not going to use your hearing aid for several days, remove the
batteries.

NOTE

Your rechargeable batteries should last for approximately one year. Ask your
hearing care professional to change them for you when needed.

Inserting a rechargeable battery

To insert a new rechargeable battery do as follows:

NOTE

You can also use a zinc-air battery with your hearing aid.

NOTE

Avoid dropping your hearing aid - hold the hearing aid above a soft surface
while changing the battery.

Open the battery compartment.

Now place the battery in the battery compartment
with the golden side facing upwards and close the
battery compartment.

15

NOTE

You can also ask your hearing care professional for help if you need to change
the rechargeable battery.

16

Recharging your hearing aids

Connect the USB cable into the charger and plug it
into the wall socket.

Hold your hearing aid by the earwire and gently
place it on the charging slot.
The green light will start blinking as soon as your
hearing aids start charging.
Once the hearing aids are completely charged, the
green light will stop blinking and it will be solid
green.

NOTE

Always charge the silver-zinc batteries at temperatures between 10°C (50°F)
and 40°C (104°F).

NOTE

Don't leave the hearing aids on the charger once the batteries have been
recharged, unless you keep the charger connected to the power supply ­otherwise the batteries will be drained.

17

Sound signals

Your hearing aid plays sounds to inform you that certain features have been
activated or that you have changed program. These sounds can be spoken
messages or tones.

Ask your hearing care professional to turn these sounds off if you don't need
them.

Lost partner

(Only available in selected models)
Your hearing care professional can turn on a feature in your hearing aid that

warns you whenever it loses contact with the hearing aid in the opposite
ear. You will hear a spoken message in your ear.

How to tell right from left

The hearing aid for your right ear has a red mark. The hearing aid for your left ear has a blue mark.

Turning the hearing aid on and off

To turn the hearing aid on, close the battery door. The
hearing aid will play a sound signal to indicate that it is
on, unless your hearing care professional has
deactivated this function.

18

To turn off the hearing aid, pull the battery door

Zen+ This program is similar to Zen but allows you

to listen to different types of tones or noise

NOTE

The names in the list of programs are the default names. Your hearing care
professional can also select an alternative program name from a preselected list.
Then it is even easier for you to select the right program in each listening
situation.

Depending on your hearing loss, your hearing care professional can activate
the Audibility Extender feature. Ask your hearing care professional if you
could benefit from this.

If your needs and preferences change over time, your hearing care
professional can easily change your program selection

The Zen program

Your hearing aid may be provided with a unique optional listening program
called Zen. It makes musical tones (and sometimes a rushing noise) in the
background.

If you perceive a decrease in loudness or tolerance of sounds, speech not
to be as clear, or worsening tinnitus, contact your hearing care
professional.

Use of the Zen program may interfere with hearing everyday sounds,
including speech. It should not be used when it is important to be able to
hear such sounds. Switch the hearing aid to a non-Zen program in these
situations.

22

Sound and program adjustment

If you have two hearing aids, the push button can be programmed in several
ways:

As a dedicated program button:

To change programs, just press the button. To access and exit SmartToggle
programs, press and hold the push button down for more than one second
(this setting is optional). Once you have accessed the SmartToggle
program, you can change among the different Zen styles selected for you
by short presses on the button.

As a dedicated sound adjustment button:

Press the button on your right hearing aid if you’d like more audibility and
more volume. If you need to decrease the volume or you’d like more
comfort, press the button on your left hearing aid.

A long push (more than one second) on either of your hearing aids will mute
the sound. To unmute the sound, press the push button on your right
hearing aid briefly (this setting is optional).

As a combined program and sound adjustment button:

If you have this option, press the button on your right hearing aid if you’d
like more audibility and more volume. If you need to decrease the volume or
if you’d like more comfort, just press the button on your left hearing aid. A
long press on either of your hearing aids will change programs.

If you only have one hearing aid, a short press will change programs and a
long press will allow you to access the SmartToggle programs.

23

NOTE

You can also use your app for changing programs and adjusting the sound in
your hearing aids.

Using a phone with your hearing aids

When you use a phone, hold it against your head at an angle above your ear, rather than directly against the ear.

24

PAIRING YOUR HEARING AID AND SMARTPHONE

To pair your hearing aids and smartphone you need to restart your hearing
aid. Do as follows:

1. Restart your hearing aids by opening and closing the battery
compartment.

2. Keep the hearing aids close to your phone and follow the instructions on
your phone.

3. The hearing aids and smartphone are now ready to use.

NOTE
