Adjusting to a World of New Sounds

New Sounds

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

How to adjust

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 ﬁrst week

3. Gradually increase 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.

How to Use the Hearing Instrument

On/Off Function

Your ReSound X-ploreTM ITC and ITE is equipped with an on/off switch

integrated into the battery compartment.

1. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is

turned on

2. To turn the instrument off, open the battery compartment.

Many individuals use their ﬁngernail to pull it open.

3. Whenever you are not using the instrument, remember to turn it off to

stop battery consumption

SmartStart

SmartStart allows you to insert the instrument in your ear without the

hearing instrument squealing. It delays the switch-on time by 10 seconds

after closing the battery compartment. A beep each second is presented

during this time.

Insertion of the Hearing Instrument

To insert the hearing instrument into your ear:

1. Hold the instrument with your thumb and foreﬁnger

(as shown), either above and below or on the sides

(as illustrated)

2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal

3. Insert the instrument into your ear canal

Note:

It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward

with your opposite hand while inserting.

By experimenting, you may ﬁnd a method that is easier for you. When

properly inserted, the instrument should ﬁt comfortably and tightly

in your ear. It is important that the custom shell ﬁts correctly into

your ear. If the hearing instrument irritates your ear in any way please

contact your hearing care professional to have the custom shell

modiﬁed. You should never attempt to modify the shape of the

custom shell yourself.

Tip

Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.

Removing the Hearing Instrument

To remove the hearing instrument, simply pull the removal cord with

your thumb and foreﬁnger and pull outward. Consult your hearing care

professional if you have difﬁculty removing the hearing instrument.

Volume Control (optional)

Your ReSound X-plore hearing instruments have a volume control.

When using the instrument, you can increase the volume by turning

the volume control forward (towards your face when you are wearing the

instrument), and reduce volume by turning it backward.

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 different type of “beep” signal with a

lower pitch.

Programme Selector

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

indicates 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

Your Programme Environments:

(to be completed together your hearing care professional):

Programme Description of when to use

Stand-by Function

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.

Telephone Use

You can use the telephone with your hearing instruments. Using the tele-

phone while using your hearing instruments may require some practice.

By selecting the optional telecoil programme you can improve un-

derstanding of speech when using a hearing instrument compatible

telephone. 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 if your

device has the optional telecoil available.

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 ﬁnd the best reception.

If you do not wish to have a telecoil programme or if your instrument

does not have a telecoil, 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 feedback when using the telephone

Cellular phone

If you use a cellular phone you may experience a buzzing or clicking

noise. This is caused by the strong signal of the cellular phone.

Consult with your hearing care professional for options to improve

the sound quality

Maintenance

Daily Maintenance

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.

To avoid the need for repairs:

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 ﬂoors

3. Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight since

excessive heat can damage the instrument or deform the casing

Low Battery Warning

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 ﬁve soft beeping

signals. This sequence will continue every ﬁve minutes until the instru-

ment automatically switches off. It is recommended that you keep a

spare battery at hand.

Changing the Battery

1. Open the battery compartment completely by

using your ﬁngernail

2. After removing the old battery, insert the new one

3. Always use Zinc-Air battery. Your hearing care pro-

fessional can tell you which size battery you need

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.

When not in use

Removing the battery when you are not wearing the instrument for a

longer period will help prevent corrosion of the battery contacts.

Cleaning and Replacing the Sound Filters

Cleaning the Microphone Sound Inlet

For proper function of the microphone, it is important to clean the sound

inlet to remove dust or other sound-disturbing debris. The soft brush,

provided with your hearing instrument, can be used for this purpose.

Your hearing care professional can instruct you on how to properly use

this tool.

Changing the Sound Outlet Filter/Cleaning the Sound Outlet

Your ReSound X-ploreTM hearing instrument may be equipped with a

sound outlet ﬁlter (consult your hearing care professional). This ﬁlter

is located at the end of the sound outlet and prevents debris from

getting into the hearing instrument. If the hearing instrument seems to

have lost power, and changing the battery does not help, the ﬁlter may

be blocked, and needs to be changed. Your hearing care professional

can instruct you on how to change the ﬁlter.

If your hearing instrument does not have a ﬁlter, ear wax and/or other

debris may accumulate in the sound channel. The cleaning loop,

provided with your hearing instrument, can be used to remove this

material. Your hearing care professional can instruct you on how to

properly use this tool. When using this tool, be careful not to damage or

pull the tubing placed at the opening of the sound outlet. If this is pulled

out, the hearing instrument may need to be returned for repair.

General Precautions

1. Do not leave your hearing instrument in the sun, near an open ﬁre

or in a hot, parked car

2. Do not wear your instrument while showering, swimming, in heavy

rain or in a moist atmosphere such as steam bath or sauna

3. Should your hearing instrument become wet or moist, use the

drying kit that your hearing care professional has recommended.

Do not place the hearing instrument in a very warm place to

remove moisture (for example, the oven or use a hair dryer).

Direct or indirect heat can damage the instrument.

4. Remove your hearing instrument when applying such things as

cosmetics, perfume, aftershave, hair spray, and suntan lotion.

These might get into the instrument and cause damage.
