Settings overview for your hearing aid 68

You should familiarise yourself fully with the following general warnings before using your

hearing aid for your personal safety and to ensure correct use.

Please note that a hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve

a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. Furthermore, note that in most cases,

infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full benefit from it.

Consult your hearing care professional if you experience unexpected operations or events with

your hearing aid.

Usage of hearing aids

Hearing aids should be used only as directed and adjusted by your hearing care professional.

Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.

Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as incorrect usage could cause

permanent damage to their hearing.

Choking hazards & risk of swallowing batteries and other small parts

Hearing aids, their parts, and batteries should be kept out of reach of children and anyone who

might swallow these items or otherwise cause injury to themselves.

Warnings

Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore, check your medicine carefully

before swallowing any pills.

Most hearing aids can be supplied with a tamper-resistant battery drawer upon request. This is

strongly recommended for infants, small children, and people with learning difficulties.

Children younger than 36 months must always use a tamper-resistant battery drawer. Please talk

to your hearing care professional about the availability of this option.

If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

Battery use

Always use batteries recommended by your hearing care professional. Batteries of low quality

may leak and cause bodily harm.

Never attempt to recharge your batteries, and never dispose of batteries by burning them. There

is a risk that the batteries will explode.

Warnings

1110

Dysfunction

Be aware of the possibility that your hearing aid may stop working without notice. Keep this in

mind when you depend on warning sounds (e.g. when you are in traffic). The hearing aids may

stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or if the tubing is blocked by moisture

or earwax.

Active implants

Caution must be taken with active implants. In general, follow the guidelines recommended by

manufacturers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding use with mobile phones

and magnets.

The Autophone magnet and MultiTool (which has a built-in magnet) should be kept at least 30 cm

away from the implant, e.g. do not carry it in a breast pocket.

If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your implantable device

for information about the risk of disturbance.

X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning, and electrotherapy

Remove your hearing aid before X-ray, CT/MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy, surgery, etc. as your

hearing aid may be damaged when exposed to strong fields.

Warnings

Heat and chemicals

The hearing aid must never be exposed to extreme heat, e.g. left inside a parked car in the sun.

The hearing aid must not be dried in microwave ovens or other ovens.

The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, aftershave lotion, suntan lotion, and insect

repellent can damage the hearing aid. Always remove your hearing aid before applying such

products and allow time to dry before use.

Power instrument

Special care should be exercised in selecting, fitting and using a hearing aid whose maximum

sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711), as there may be risk of impairing the

remaining hearing of the hearing aid user.

For information on whether your hearing aid is a power instrument, see Model overview in front

of this booklet.”

Warnings

12 13

Possible side effects

Hearing aids and earpieces may cause an accelerated accumulation of earwax.

The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing aids may in rare cases lead to a skin

irritation or other side effects.

Please seek consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.

Interference

The hearing aid has been thoroughly tested for interference, in accordance with the most

stringent international standards. However, interference between the hearing aid and other

devices (e.g. some mobile telephones, citizens band systems, and shop alarm systems, and other

devices) may occur. If this occurs, increase the distance between the hearing aid and

the interfering device.

Connection to external equipment

The safety of the hearing aid when connected to external equipment (via auxiliary input cable,

via USB cable, or directly), is determined by the external equipment. When connected to external

equipment plugged into a wall outlet, this equipment must comply with IEC60065, IEC-60950 or

equivalent safety standards.

Warnings Activating the hearing aid for the rst time

A hearing aid is a miniature electronic device that runs on special batteries.

To activate the hearing aid, you must insert a fresh battery in the battery compartment.

The hearing aid will start up when the battery door is closed. It will take a few seconds

until sound is produced. A jingle is played while the start up process is running.

You may put on the hearing aid immediately upon closing the battery door.

Your hearing aid may have SmartFit™ Trainer, a visual guidance tool for inserting the ear

mould. If SmartFit™ Trainer is activated, you will hear a series of tones that may last for

up to 20 seconds during the start up process.

If the hearing aid is held in the hand while activated, it may produce a whistling sound.

This will stop when properly tted on the ear.

To replace the battery, follow these instructions:

• Open the battery door completely by pushing the raised edge at the bottom of the

hearing aid. Remove the old battery. The magnet at the end of the MultiTool may be

useful in helping you with the handling of the batteries.

• Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new battery.

• The new battery may be inserted by using the magnetic end of the MultiTool. Ensure

that the positive (+) marking faces the positive (+) sign printed on the battery door.

Close the battery door.

Any moisture on the battery surface should be wiped

o before use.

When you replace the battery, it will take a few

seconds before the battery works. MultiTool

Replacing the battery

The BTE13 90 uses a battery size 13. The BTE312 75 uses a

battery size 312.

A worn out battery should be removed immediately and

disposed of according to local regulations.

When the battery power is low, the visual indicator (LED)

will rapidly blink and the user will hear 2 beeps (if enabled).

This pre-warning starts when the battery has only a few hours

of operation left. The 2 beeps will be repeated in moderate

intervals to indicate it is time to change the battery.

If the battery runs out the hearing aid turns o. When that

happens, 4 beeps are played and the visual indicator (LED) will

turn o (if enabled) to indicate that the hearing aid is no longer

operating.

Replace the battery.

Left/Right ear marking

Hearing aids are tted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have two

hearing aids then your left hearing aid is programmed dierently from your right. That is

why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing aid and the right.

In order to easily identify whether it is left ear or right ear hearing aid, colour markings

may be applied inside the battery door.

A blue dot marks the LEFT hearing aid.

A red dot marks the RIGHT hearing aid.

Turning your hearing aid ON and OFF

Turn ON your hearing aid by closing the battery door completely with the battery in place.

When the battery door is closed the hearing aid will start up by playing a jingle. This

indicates that the battery is working and the hearing aid is operating.

Turn OFF your hearing aid by opening the battery door slightly until a “click” is felt.

To preserve the battery, make sure your hearing aid is switched o when you are not

wearing it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Open the battery door fully to

allow air to circulate whenever

you are not using your hearing aid,

especially at night or for longer

periods of time.
