Welcome to the World of Better Hearing

We understand that hearing loss affects one’s quality of life.

That is why we are dedicated to building the highest quality

hearing instruments. Your new hearing instruments will soon

be indispensable to you and will bring new pleasure and

enjoyment to your life.

A period of adjustment may be needed to become

accustomed to your new hearing instruments and the

renewed world of sounds you will experience. The

adjustment time varies for each individual and may be as

little as a couple of weeks to as long as several months.

Allow yourself time to become familiar with those sounds

you have not heard for a long time. Before operating your

hearing instruments, please read this manual thoroughly.

Each hearing instrument has its own unique number located

on the exterior of the hearing aid. The ﬁrst two digits of the

serial number represent the year in which the instrument

was manufactured.

Battery Information

To turn your hearing instrument “on”, you simply need

to close the battery door after inserting a battery. To

turn your hearing instrument “off”, open the battery door

completely this will disengage the battery and turn off the

hearing instrument. When the hearing aid is not in use, it is

recommended that you open the battery door. This helps

to prevent excessive battery drain and allows for proper

ventilation of the hearing aid.

The low battery detection system continuously monitors

battery life. When the battery becomes low, the low battery

warning sequence consisting of 3 double beeps is initiated.

After the warning beeps are complete, normal operation

resumes. The low battery warning sequence will repeat

again 10 minutes after the initial warning; it’s now time to

insert a new battery. Hearing aid batteries are most easily

purchased from your hearing healthcare provider.

Battery Type and Proper Storage:

Your hearing instrument will use a size 312 battery

(brown tab). A zinc air battery is recommended for

optimal performance. Batteries should NOT be stored in a

refrigerator or dehumidifying device. Such storage could

cause leakage and damage the batteries and

hearing instrument.

Important: Always properly discard used batteries. Small batteries can

be harmful if swallowed. Keep batteries out of the reach of pets and small

children. In case of ingestion, contact your physician or call the National

Button Battery Hotline at 202.625.3333.

To replace your hearing instrument battery,

follow these steps:

Step 1: Lift the notch at the edge of the compartment and

carefully swing open the door. (Illustration 1)

Step 2: Remove the colored

tab on the battery. Holding

the instruments as shown in

Illustration 2, insert the battery

with the “+” side up, matching

to the “+” on the battery

compartment door.

Step 3: Gently swing the door into the closed position. The

compartment should close easily. Do not force it.

It is important that the battery is inserted correctly. If the

battery compartment door does not easily close, the battery

is not seated correctly. Do NOT try to force the door shut,

close gently.

The life of your hearing instruments’ batteries will vary

depending on length of daily use, listening environments,

and how your hearing instruments are programmed. When

the hearing instrument batteries go dead, remove them

immediately and replace them with new batteries. Batteries

may be purchased through your hearing healthcare

professional.

Line up the + sign on the battery

door to the + sign on the battery

Depending on the model, your hearing instrument features

up to four programmable memory settings. Consult your

hearing care professional as to the number of memories

available on these hearing instruments. Each memory

setting is designed for the best comfort and optimal

performance in a particular listening environment. Such

environments may range from noisy to quiet… as when

you’re on the telephone, outdoors, in a crowded restaurant,

or listening to TV, music, or a movie.

To change the program setting, simply press the memory

program button located on your instrument. An audible

signal indicates the speciﬁc settings for your listening

environment. When you turn on your hearing instrument it

will automatically start in program 1. Your hearing healthcare

professional will program the instrument for you as the

speciﬁc setting you wish to use.

Adaptive Directionality®

If your hearing aid is equipped with Adaptive Directionality,

it automatically switches between omni and directional

microphones depending on the environment. When

activated, this system uses both microphones to reduce

distracting noise arriving from behind the hearing aid

user. Ask your hearing healthcare provider if Adaptive

Directionality is a featured option on your hearing

instrument.

Memory Program Settings

Telephone Use

Your hearing instrument allows you to use the phone as you

normally do – holding the phone up to your ear. In some

cases, you may need your hearing instrument programmed

with a speciﬁc telephone setting. If this feature is important

to you, ask your hearing healthcare professional to adjust

one of the available memory programs to assist your

telephone requirements.

Cell Phone Compatibility

Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound

in their hearing aids when they are using cell phones,

indicating that the cell phone and hearing aid may not

be compatible. According to the ANSI C63.19 standard

(ANSI C63.19- 2006 American National Standard

Methods of Measurement of Compatibility Between

Wireless Communications Devices and Hearing Aids),

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. For

example, the sum of a hearing aid rating of 2 (M2/T2) and

a telephone rating of 3 (M3/T3) would result in a combined

rating of 5. Any combined rating that equals at least 5 would

provide “normal use;” a combined rating of 6 or greater

would indicate “excellent performance.”

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

equipment performance measurements, categories and

system classiﬁcations are based upon the best information

available but cannot guarantee that all users will be satisﬁed.

Care and Storage

Cleaning Your Hearing Instrument

The following instructions will assist in extending the life of

your hearing instruments. You should clean and inspect

your hearing instruments daily to control wax buildup.

To clean, very gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry

cloth or moist cleaning wipes made especially for hearing

instruments. Do not allow water or liquid to enter any

openings on the instruments.

Inserting Dome

Insert dome over the tube/receiver tip as shown in image.

Make sure dome is fully seated before inserting aid in ear.

Incorrect dome placement may result in injury.

Note: The performance of individual hearing aids may vary with individual

cell phones. Therefore, please try this hearing aid with your cell phone or,

if you are purchasing a new phone, be sure to try it with your hearing aid

prior to purchase. For additional guidance, please ask your cell phone

provider for the booklet entitled “Hearing Aid Compatibility with Digital

Wireless Cell Phones.”
