Your new Senso Diva
Widex has been developing and manufacturing high
quality hearing aids since 1956. In
Senso Diva we
have utilized the latest advancements in digital
technology and created a hearing aid with innovative and sophisticated solutions that make the most
of your hearing ability and help ensure optimum
communication.
A.
Senso Diva without a volume control
B.
Senso Diva with a volume control
Senso Diva gives you the clearest and most comfor-
table sound possible and automatically adjusts loudness according to your listening environment.
Through a continuous analysis of the incoming
sounds, Senso Diva is able to reduce noise and enhance speech.
Senso Diva also allows enhancement
of the sounds of a specific person or sound source by
attenuating noise coming from behind you - you
just have to turn your head in the direction of that
person or sound source.
Senso Diva is able to effectively reduce any feedback whistling – an otherwise
common complaint of hearing aid users. In addition
to the traditional listening programs, Senso Diva
may be equipped with a music program specially
optimized for listening to music.
To get full satisfaction from the quality and the performance we have built into your Senso Diva hear-
ing aid, please read and follow the instructions carefully. We hope you will be pleased with your new
Senso Diva hearing aid. Happy listening!

The battery
Battery type
The recommended battery type for your Senso Diva
is:
Zinc Air battery type 13
Please note the expiration date on the battery pack.
To ensure proper battery function, do not use batteries past the expiration date. Because they are Zinc
Air type batteries, they need air to work. Therefore,
do not remove the adhesive tab until just before inserting the battery in the hearing aid. Once the tab
has been removed, the battery will start functioning
after a few seconds. The lifetime of the battery de
pends on a number of factors, such as the setting of
your hearing aid, how many hours you use it daily
and the listening environments in which you use it.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery in
your hearing aid, remember to remove the adhesive tab. Do not use
batteries on which there is a sticky
residue from the tab or other unwanted substance as
this can block the battery airholes.

Push the nail grip downwards to
swing open the battery drawer.
The nail grip is located on the
opposite side of the on/off switch
at the bottom of the hearing aid.
The plus (+) sign of the battery must face upwards.
If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery is incorrectly inserted.
Changing the battery
If you hear four rapid beep-tones while wearing
your hearing aid, it is an indication that the battery
is nearly exhausted. Once the battery is totally exhausted, the hearing aid will be completely silent.
Exactly how long the hearing aid will function after
the beep-tones varies from one case to another. We
recommend that you always have a spare battery
with you.
The rate at which a battery loses power is dependent upon the circumstances under which the battery is used. In some circumstances, the battery can
drain so suddenly that the beep-tones for low battery warning will only be partially produced or not
be produced at all.
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.
Exhausted batteries may leak, which could damage
the hearing aid. When changing batteries, it is a
good idea to hold the hearing aid over a table or a
carpet, in case you drop the hearing aid or battery.

The hearing aid can be provided
with a battery drawer lock, if required. This is a particularly good
idea if the hearing aid is worn by
a child. A special tool for opening
the lock will be included when
ordering the lock (see the drawing).
You open the lock by pushing it to the right and then
downward with the tool in
one movement as illustrated.
Turning the hearing aid on and off
The battery drawer is placed
at the bottom of the hearing
aid. The battery drawer also
functions as the on/off switch.
The hearing aid is turned on
when the switch is pushed upwards, and off when the switch
is pushed downwards as illustrated.
The word “OFF” is clearly
visible on the switch when the
hearing aid is turned off.
Please remember to switch the hearing aid off when
it is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid
will not be used again soon.

Left/right identification
If you wear hearing aids on
both ears, your hearing
healthcare professional can
put color indicators on your
hearing aids so you can easily
see which is for the left ear
and which is for the right ear
(red mark = right and blue
mark = left).
Placing Senso Diva on/in the ear
Insert a battery in your hearing aid. We recommend
that you turn off the hearing aid before placing it on
the ear. First insert the earmold in the ear canal
while holding the lower part of the tubing. It may
also be helpful to gently pull the outer ear backwards and upwards with the opposite hand.
