TINNI MASK

Tinnitus is a disease caused by a various rea-

sons, and often described as ringing and buzzing

in ears. This kind of noise may become very

irritating for people with hearing impairments,

exacerbating their problems with perception

and decoding the audio stream. Innovative design solution

nanocoating 3D PLazma signicantly improves moisture resis-

tance of the hearing instruments as water getting inside does

not wet the surface of the electronic components, and simply

evaporates over time.

3D PLAZMA

The unique technology of 3D Plazma is a reliable

protection against moisture and dirt ! Most hear-

ing aids are afraid of water. Drops of water or

sweat, falling on the body, penetrate into the de-

viceand lead to failure of its important elements

(chip, microphone, receiver). Thanks to this

FEEDBACK FIGHTER

Hearing generates feedback signals. This leads to

annoying whistling which can be heard not only

be hearing aid wearers, but also people around

them and it is very irritanting. The latest adap-

tive feedback suppression technology - Feedback

Fighter - guarantees user protection against

acoustic feedback.

lyzis of input acoustic signal. Advanced algorithm allows to

accurately determine the occurrence of feedback. Suppress-

ing signal is generated by method which allows to accurately

detect the feedback occurrence . A surprising signal is gener-

ated to reduce or eliminate thr feedback in the output without

the loss or gain

ADAP TUNE

Another problem many hearing aid users experi-

ence an unpleasant whistle which comes as a

consequence of feedback. To eliminate this eect,

NanoTrim is equipped with AdapTune - a highly

ecient system that allows to compensate the

NOISE OFF

The system of stratied noise reduction Noise O

minimizes ambient noises and makes the process

of speech perception easier and more comfortable

even with excessive background noise.

SOFT SILENCE

Clear sound without interference and irritating

noise is one of the major tasks that modern hear-

ing aid must handle.

The Soft Silence system in NanoTrim devices is

suppressed both the internal noise of the hearing

aid (noise of microphone amplier) and the external noise

(the rustling of paper, the hum of the fan, etc.), and in the

same time does not distort speech sounds, which greatly

reduces fatigue when using a hearing aid.

NanoTrim hearing aids are intended for sound amplication through

the air conduction, to compensate severe hearing loss.

Modern production technologies are used in NanoTrim, Nanocoating

which ensures protection of are device from moisture and dirt; parts

HA requires careful handling.

The proper handling ensures the safe operation of the HA.

Everyday care and regular maintenance of your HA significantly

prolongs its lifetime and ensures its effective operation.

Keep your hearing aid clean. Wipe it regularly with

a soft cloth (Pic.1).

Never wash your HA with water, cleaning solutions

or other liquids. Remove ear wax from your ears,

because it can aect the work of the HA or even

break the device.

If your HA was exposed to excessive moisture, dry

it with a special kit. Remove the battery before you

start drying.

To avoid damages, keep the HA in a special case.

Caring for Your Hearing Aid

Earmold care

Earmold is an important part of your HA, that’s why

it’s necessary to keep it clean.

Cleaning of earmolds

Carefully separate the tube from the main body.

Gently wash the mold with warm, soapy water or

place it in a special solution for 15-30 minutes

(Pic.2). After the treatment, the mold has to be

dried completely. If there is still moisture in the

tube or in the mold, use the are blowing device

(Pic.3). If the earmold’s tube has lost its elasticity,

become yellowish and cracked, it should be

replaced. Consult your hearing aid specialist about

this problem

Caring for Your Hearing Aid

Never use any spirit solution for cleaning the

earmold. Never treat the hearing aid with the

earmold cleaning solution.

In this case the warranty doesn’t cover the maintenance!

Gently swing out the battery door with your ngernail and then open

it completely (Pic.4a), take a new battery, take the tab o and wait

1minute so that the battery could become saturated with oxygen to

increase its energy.

Insert the new battery into the battery compartment with plus(+) sign

on the battery facing the same way as the (+) sign on the edge of the

battery door. This will ensure that the battery door closes properly.

Put the battery ONLY in the door of the battery

compartment.

Note: If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the door will

not close.

Never press too hard to close the door of the

battery compartment.

Lower amplication power and volume , or spontaneous

shutdown indicate a low battery.

Getting used to your HA

Buying a hearing aid, bear in mind that it will take some time to get

used to new sounds and sensations. How much time this process will

take depends on the individual peculiarities of an organism, level

of hearing loss, time spent using the HA, etc. If you feel discomfort

while using the HA , you need to lower the volume or turn it o and

take a break.

While watching TV, set the volume to a medium level. If you have

a hard time distinguishing sounds, turn the volume up using the

volume control. However, you should remember that turning the

volume up very high doesn’t always improve your perception of

speech, but can cause sudden fatigue and provoke the deterioration

of hearing.

In a noisy environment it’s pretty hard to distinguish certain words,

so don’t be embarrassed to ask again.

Using NanoTrim

The volume is adjusted with the volume

control – switching from position 1 (minimum

volume) up to position 4 (maximum volume)

(Pic. 5).

Besides, you can change the listening

conditions with the program selection button

(Pic. 6). Switching the programs, you can

choose the listening mode appropriate for

different situations: microphone mode,

telephone mode (telecoil), mic+telecoil and

tinnitus masker mode.

Switching ON/OFF

Your Hearing Aid has a three-position battery door that acts as an

o/on switch and allows access to the battery compartment. To turn

the Hearing Aid on, close the battery door fully (Pic.7a).

To turn OFF: open the battery door until it clicks, so the battery is

no longer touching the contacts.

Insertion and Removal

Also make sure that ON/OFF switch is set

to OFF.

To insert, hold the earmold on the outer

side near the tubing with your thumb and

forefinger (pic.8)

The upper part of the earmold must be

directed upwards. The tube must be

directed to the ear canal.

If expenencing difficultes, pull down the

earlobe or pull the auride back or up and

gently insert the earmold into the ear.

(Pic. 9)

To properly insert elastic part of the HA :

• With the fornger try to place it under the skin crease

• At the same time, with the other hand pull the ear up and back

• After you have inserted the earmold, carefully place the Hearing

Aid behind the ear.

• Try not to twist the tube.

To remove, take the instrument out from behind your ear and

gently pull the earmold outwards.

Pulling down on the ear lobe may help loosen the earmold when

it is being removed.

Insertion and Removal

Trimmer controls are under the lid of your Hearing Aid (Pic.11),

placed in the upper part of the frame. The lid must always be closed

to avoid the penetration of dust and moisture. In case the lid is lost,

consult a specialist.

The specialist determines the position of trimmer controls while

examining a patient, in accordance with individual characteristics

of their hearing loss (audiogram).
