A hearing loss is typically acquired gradually over many years. You may
have become accustomed to an everyday life with fewer sounds, which
also means hearing less noise than people with normal hearing.
With your new hearing instruments you will experience many sounds
that you may not have heard for years. It will take time to get used to all
these sounds again. Some examples of these sounds are:
• The clock ticking
• Turning pages of the newspaper
• Children’s voices
• Whispers and soft speech
• Car noise
• Birdsong
• The sound of your own footsteps
If you are inexperienced with hearing instruments it is advisable to:
1. Use your hearing instruments every day.
2. Wear your hearing instruments for just a couple of hours a day
during the rst week.
3. Gradually increase the time you wear your hearing
instruments.
It can take several months for your brain to get used to all the “new”
sounds around you. Start using your hearing instruments in mainly
quiet surroundings and start with a comfortable volume (the hearing
care professional will ensure this). Listen to and get familiar with all
sounds in your home, such as a ticking clock, water running in the
sink, or silverware used on a plate. In quiet surroundings, converse
with a person you know well. Listen to a TV or radio at home. After
you have used the hearing instruments for a while you will be ready
for more demanding listening situations, like conversation with a
group of two or three people.

1. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is
turned on and programme 1 will be activated.
2. To turn the instrument off, open the battery compartment. Many
individuals use their nger tips to pull it open.
3. The instrument is then switched off.
4. Whenever you are not using the instrument, remember to turn it off
to stop battery consumption.
You can turn on your hearing instrument once you have placed it
behind your ear and inserted the tube in your ear. If you prefer not to
have the device ”on” while placing it behind your ear, your hearing care
professional can activate a function (SmartStart) which will delay the
instrument turning on. This function will prevent the hearing instru-
ment from squealing while the tube or mould is being inserted in the
ear. It delays the switch-on time by 10 seconds after closing the battery
compartment. A beep each second is presented during this time.
1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and
index nger and position its sound outlet in
your ear canal.
2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear
with a gentle, twisting movement (insertion
can be easier if you gently pull your ear up
and back with your other hand).
3. Turn the top-part of the earmould gently
backwards and forwards so that it tucks
behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
4. Place the hearing instrument behind your ear.
5. Move the earmould up and down and press
gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in
the ear.
6. When the earmould and hearing instrument
are correctly positioned, and you have not
already turned it on, switch on your instru-
ment by closing the battery door.
Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.

1. Place the hearing instrument behind the ear.
2. Hold the tube where it bends and gently push
the dome into your ear canal (the dome should
be placed far enough into the ear that the tube
lies ush with your head).
3. It is important that the tube and the dome t
correctly into your ear.
4. When the dome is placed correctly, you should
not be able to see the tube sticking out when
you face a mirror.
You should never attempt to bend or modify the
shape of the tube.
To remove the hearing instrument, simply pull the
tube outward with your thumb and forenger. Consult your hearing care
professional if you have difculties removing the hearing instrument.
When using the instrument you can increase the volume by turning the
volume control up, and reduce volume by turning it down.
For each volume step, you will hear a
“beep” signal indicating the change.
The loudness of the “beeps” will
increase as you turn the volume up
and decrease as you turn it down.
If you reach the upper or lower limit
of the volume control range, there
will be a more prominent “beep”
signal indicated by a lower pitch.

You can have up to four different programmes on your hearing instru-
ment. The selection of programmes can be changed by your hearing
care professional.
1. You can switch between programmes by pushing the programme
selector once.
2. You will then hear one or more “beeps”. The number of beeps indi-
cates which programme you have selected.
3. You can always return to programme 1 by turning your instrument
off and then on again, or by placing it in stand-by mode
and then returning to its operating mode.

In stand-by mode, the hearing instrument will not process sound or
deliver an acoustic signal to the ear. When in this mode, a small amount
of power will be used. To put the instrument in stand-by mode, hold
down the programme selector for 5 seconds. You will hear a series of
beeps and the device will be in stand-by mode. To return to standard
mode, press the programme selector once. This can only be done after
at least 5 seconds in the stand-by mode.
Your can use the telephone with your
hearing instruments. Using the telephone
while using your hearing instruments may
require some practice.
By selecting the optional telecoil programme
you can improve understanding of speech
when using a telecoil compatible phone.
Rather than picking up the sound from the telephone, this programme
only picks up the telephone’s magnetic signal and converts
it to sound. Your hearing care professional can activate the telecoil.
When using the telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone
should be held as shown in the drawing. You may need to move the
handset around slightly to nd the best reception.
If you do not wish to have a telecoil programme, you may still use the
phone while using your hearing instrument. Hold the phone close to
the front microphone of the hearing instrument, but not directly on it.
If it whistles, it may take a few seconds for the instrument to adapt.
If the whistling continues, move the telephone 2-3 cm away from
your ear. Some hearing instruments also have an acoustic telephone
program. This program might decrease problems with acoustic feed-
back when using the telephone.
Many gathering places such as schools, theatres and houses of wor ship,
are equipped with tele-loop systems. To take advantage of such
a system, select the telecoil program to pick up direct sound. If the
hearing instrument goes dead when the telecoil program is selected,
the tele-loop system may not be turned on or not operating correctly.
If a school, theatre or house of worship does not have a tele-loop
system, try to sit as close as possible to the front and use one of the
microphone programmes.

Your hearing care professional can activate a Low Battery Warning
function in your hearing instruments. When the battery voltage/power
decreases to a certain level, the instrument will emit ve soft beeping sig-
nals. This sequence will continue every ve minutes until the instrument
automatically switches off. The occurrence of the sequence can differ by
using rechargeable batteries and also between different battery brands.
It is recommended that you keep a spare battery on hand.
1. Gently push the battery compartment to open.
2. Use a magnet pin to remove the battery,
if at hand.
3. After removing the old battery, insert
the new one. It is important to insert
the battery with the positive side in the
correct position. The battery door has a
+ marking to help determine correct insertion.
4. Always use Zinc-Air or rechargeable batteries size 13.
Removing the battery when you are not wearing the instrument for
a longer period will help prevent corrosion of the battery contacts.
Using the Direct Audio Input socket enables direct, undisturbed connec-
tion to facilities such as: Television - Radio - Remote microphone.
1. Make sure the tip of the audio boot is placed rstly in the HAI
(Hearing instrument Accessories Interface).
2. Click the audio boot on to the hearing instrument.
3. The Audio boot is now connected.
4. Push the release button on the front side of the Audio boot.
5. Gently remove the Audio boot.
The sound source is connected to your instrument with a cable or a
wire less FM system to the audio boot. The audio boot will connect with
a “click” to the hearing instrument and switch to Direct Audio Input
automatically.

1. Remove the earmould and the tubing from the hearing instrument
before you clean it.
2. To clean the earmould, rinse with
lukewarm water.
3. If ear wax is stuck in the sound
canal of the earmould,
the cleaning loop or a syringe
with lukewarm water can be used
to “push” the wax out.
4. Blow gently through the tubing to remove moisture trapped inside.
5. Be sure to thoroughly dry the earmould and its tubing before
reconnecting it to the hearing instrument.
The tubing connecting the earmould to the hearing instrument
should be changed if it becomes stiff or brittle. Contact your hearing
care professional to change the tubing when needed.
It is important to keep your hearing
instrument clean and dry every day. To
clean the instrument, use a soft cloth.
If the instrument has been exposed
to high humidity or perspiration, use
a drying kit that is available from your
hearing care professional.
1. Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids since this
may cause permanent damage to the hearing instrument.
2. Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling, and avoid
dropping it on hard surfaces or oors.
3. Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight since
excessive heat can damage the instrument or deform the casing.
