thAnk You...

...for choosing a Widex hearing aid.

We hope you will be pleased with your child’s new

Widex hearing aid. We realise that being confronted

with a child’s hearing loss can be daunting, but we

hope this booklet will show that using a hearing aid

need not be complicated.

All illustrations in this booklet show a right-ear hear-

ing aid. Unless otherwise stated, the same principles

apply to the left ear.

The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing, but

can help your child to make the best possible use of

her or his remaining hearing ability.

IMPORTANT

This booklet contains important information and instructions.

Please read this booklet carefully before using the hearing aid.

Your child´s hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look

exactly as illustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right

to make any changes considered necessary.

the heAring Aid And eAr-set

Several ear-set solutions are available for the hearing

aid. The ear-set consists of an earwire and an ear-

piece. The hearing care professional will mark the so-

lution chosen for your child.

right/left identifiCAtion

If your child wears hearing aids on both ears, it is a

good idea to ask your hearing care professional to

place identification marks on the hearing aids (red

mark = right and blue mark = left).

The arrow shows the position of the

identification mark.

the BAtterY

We recommend Zinc Air batteries. Use a size 10 bat-

tery for the hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult the

hearing care professional. It is important to take note

of the expiry date and the recommendations regard-

ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Before inserting a new battery into the

hearing aid, remember to remove the ad-

hesive tab. Once the tab has been re-

moved, the battery will start functioning

after a few seconds. Do not use batteries

on which there is a sticky residue from

the tab, or other unwanted substances.

Use the opening tool provided to

gently open the battery drawer as il-

lustrated. Do not press the drawer

beyond the open position.

Place the battery in the drawer so that the plus sign

(+) on the battery is visible when you hold the hear-

ing aid as shown. You can use the battery magnet on

the wax loop tool provided to steer the battery into

place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the bat-

tery is incorrectly inserted.

12 13

DRAINED BATTERY

If the light-emitting diode (LED) on the hearing aid

stops flashing, or there is no sound in the hearing aid,

it is an indication that the battery is exhausted. Bat-

tery life is approximately 2-3 days. However, exactly

how long the battery will last varies from one case to

another. We recommend that you always keep a

spare battery on hand.

Please note that the LED may have been disabled.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.

Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing

aid.

When changing the battery, it is a good idea to hold

the hearing aid over a table.

turning the heAring Aid on And

off

The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions

as the on/off switch.

Close the battery drawer to turn the

hearing aid on. If you have just

turned off the hearing aid, wait at

least three seconds before turning it

on again.

Open the battery drawer as de-

scribed on page 11 to turn off the

hearing aid.

Please remember to switch the hearing aid off when

it is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid

will not be used for several days.

light-eMitting diode (led)

The hearing aid is provided with a LED to indicate

certain functions.

Please also see page 12.

CHECKING THE SOUND

The listening tube enables you to check the sound in

the hearing aid before placing it in your child’s ear. If

there is no sound in the hearing aid, it may be an in-

dication that the battery is exhausted.

Positioning the heAring Aid

Before positioning the ear-tip in your child´s ear,

make sure that the receiver housing inside the ear-tip

sits correctly.

16 17

retention string

The retention string helps to ensure that the hearing

aids will not be lost, if they fall off the ear.

Fasten the string to the hearing aids in the following

way: Put the string through the eye loop on the hear-

ing aid. Guide the hearing aid up through the loop

formed. Pull the string to form a tight knot around

the eye loop.

These illustrations show an in-

stant ear-tip solution, but the

same procedure is used with an

earmould.

Place the hearing aid behind the

ear, so that the earwire rests

comfortably on the ear, close to

the head.

Insert the earpiece in the child’s

ear canal while holding the ear-

piece.

If your child is using an instant

ear-tip solution, position the an-

chor so that it rests in the outer

ear, securing the position of the

ear-set. Check at regular inter-

vals that the hearing aid and the

ear-set are positioned correctly.

IMPORTANT

We recommend that you always use the retention string with

the hearing aids.

RETENTION STRING - ONE HEARING AID

Open the clip, pushing it upwards as illustrated.

When you feel resistance, push upwards again.

Attach the clip at the end of the

string firmly to your child’s

clothes, making sure that it is al-

ways securely fastened.

Place the string so that your child

can turn his or her head without

the hearing aid coming off.

RETENTION STRING - TWO HEARING AIDS

Open the clip, pushing it upwards as illustrated.

When you feel resistance, push upwards again.

Attach the clip at the end of the

string firmly to your child’s

clothes, making sure that it is al-

ways securely fastened.

so that your child can only just

turn his or her head without the

hearing aids coming off.
