The battery

Battery type

The recommended battery type for your Inteo

hearing aid is:

Zinc Air battery type 13

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult

your hearing care professional. Please note the ex-

piry date and the recommendations regarding dis-

posal of used batteries on the battery pack. To en-

sure proper battery function, do not use batteries

past the expiry date. Because they are Zinc Air type

batteries, they need air to work. Therefore, do not

remove the adhesive tab until just before inserting

the battery in the hearing aid. Once the tab has

been removed, the battery will start functioning

after a few seconds. The battery life will depend on

a number of factors, such as the setting of your

hearing aid, how many hours you use it daily and

the listening environments in which you use it.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in

your hearing aid, remember to re-

move the adhesive tab. Do not use

batteries on which there is a sticky

residue from the tab or other un-

wanted substance.

Push the nail grip downwards to

swing open the battery drawer.

The nail grip is located on the op-

posite side of the on/off switch

at the bottom of the hearing aid.

The plus (+) sign of the battery must face upwards.

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

tery is incorrectly inserted.

Changing the battery

If you hear four rapid beep-tones while wearing

your hearing aid, it is an indication that the battery

is nearly exhausted. Once the battery is totally ex-

hausted, the hearing aid will be completely silent.

Exactly how long the hearing aid will function after

the beep-tones varies from one case to another.

We recommend that you always have a spare bat-

tery with you.

For adjustment of the beep-tone level or disabling

of the function, please consult your hearing care

professional.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing

aid. Exhausted batteries may leak, which could

damage the hearing aid. When changing batteries,

it is a good idea to hold the hearing aid over a table

or a carpet, in case you drop the hearing aid or bat-

tery.

The hearing aid can be provided

with a battery drawer lock, if re-

quired. This is a particularly good

idea if the hearing aid is worn by

a child. A special tool for opening

the lock will be included when

ordering the lock (see the draw-

ing).

You open the lock by push-

ing it to the right and then

downward with the tool in

one movement as illustrat-

ed.

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer is placed

at the bottom of the hearing

aid. The battery drawer also

functions as the on/off

switch.

The hearing aid is turned on

when the switch is pushed up-

wards, and off when the

switch is pushed downwards.

The word “OFF” is clearly vis-

ible on the switch when the

hearing aid is turned off.

Please remember to switch

the hearing aid off when it is

not in use. Remove the bat-

tery if the hearing aid will not

be used for several days.

Left/right identification

If you wear hearing aids on

both ears, your hearing care

professional can put coloured

marks on your hearing aids

so you can easily see which is

for the left ear and which is

for the right ear (red mark =

right and blue mark = left).

Placing Inteo on/in the ear

Insert a battery in your hearing aid. First insert the

earmould in the ear canal while holding the lower

part of the tubing. It may also help to pull the outer

ear backwards and upwards with the opposite

hand.

Once the earmould has been inserted, you place

the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the hook

rests comfortably on the ear, close to your head.

Possible settings when turning on

your hearing aid

Your hearing aid can be set to start up in two diffe-

rent ways. In the standard start-up setting your

hearing aid may whistle slightly while you insert

the earmould in the ear. An alternative is a setting

where the hearing aid actively suppresses whistling

while the earmould is being inserted in the ear. To-

gether with your hearing care professional you can

choose the start-up setting that suits your needs

best.

Removing Inteo

Turn off your hearing aid before removing it. First

remove the hearing aid from its position behind

the ear. Carefully pull the earmould out of the ear

canal, while holding the lower part of the tubing. If

it is difficult, it may help to try to move the ear-

mould carefully from side to side while pulling it

out. It may also help to pull the outer ear back-

wards and upwards with the opposite hand.

Automatic adjustment of loudness

Inteo adjusts loudness automatically in accordance

with your sound environment. Several thousand

times per second, Inteo analyses the surroundings

and tailors its sound accordingly. With Inteo you

do not have to think about adjusting the volume –

it happens quite automatically.

Important: If the volume in your hearing aid is too

loud or too weak, or if the reproduced sounds are

distorted, or you would like any further informa-

tion, consult your hearing care professional.

Fine tuning loudness

Your hearing aid may be pro-

vided with a volume control,

shaped like a small lever. Push

the lever upwards to raise the

automatically set volume.

Push the lever downwards to

lower the volume. Use short

touches for minor corrections

of the volume. Faster adjust-

ments are obtained by keep-

ing the lever pressed for some

seconds.

Each time you operate the volume control, you will

hear a beep-tone. For modification of the beep-

tones or disabling of the beep-tone function or vol-

ume control, please consult your hearing care pro-

fessional.

Any adjustment of the volume setting will be can-

celled when your hearing aid is turned off.

Listening programs

Your Inteo hearing aid may be provided with up to

five listening programs optimised for different lis-

tening situations. Your hearing care professional

can help you select the programs that are of use to

you and make them available on the hearing aid

program button. If your needs change over time,

the combination of listening programs can be

changed. In these user’s instructions, the hearing

care professional can list the listening programs

that are available in your hearing aid (see page 22).

You can choose from the following programs:

Inteo Master: This listening program is Inteo’s

standard program. In the Master program all the

automatic functions of the hearing aid work to en-

sure audibility, speech intelligibility and comfort in

all listening situations.

Acclimatization program: This listening program

has the same features as the Master program, but

provides slightly less amplification. The listening

program is ideal if this is your first hearing aid and

you want to become used to all the new sounds

gradually.
