YOURHEARINGAID

Welcome

Congratulations on your new hearing aid.

Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it.

Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid.

NOTE

Your hearing aid and its accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in this

booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes we consider necessary.

Your hearing aid at a glance

The illustration shows your hearing aid without the ear-set. For further

information on the ear-set see the ear-set manual. The ear-set consists of a

tube and an ear-tip or earmould, and it is the part of your hearing aid that

you wear inside your ear.

3. LED (dispenser use only)

Important safety information

Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.

Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used

improperly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or

even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact your local emergency

number or hospital immediately.

Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to

ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.

Contact your doctor or hearing care professional immediately if you

suspect you may have an ear infection or an allergic reaction.

Contact your hearing care professional if the hearing aid doesn't feel

comfortable, or if it doesn't fit properly, causing irritation, redness or the

like.

Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair

dryer.

Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion

or cream.

Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.

Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use

yours, as this could damage your hearing.

Never use your hearing aids in environments where there may be

explosive gases, such as in mines, etc.

Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from

children and mentally disabled people.

Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself. Contact your hearing

care professional if you need to have your hearing aid repaired.

Your hearing aid is very powerful and it can play sounds that exceed a

level of 132 dB. There may therefore be a risk of damaging your

remaining hearing.

Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high

humidity, and dry them quickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.

Your hearing aids should be stored and transported within the temperature

and humidity ranges of -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and 10%-95% rH.

Your hearing aids are designed to operate within the temperature, humidity

and atmospheric pressure ranges of 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F), 10%-95% rH

and 750 to 1060 mBar.

You can find technical data sheets and additional information on your

hearing aids on https://global.widex.com.

THEHEARINGAID

Indications for use

The hearing aids are indicated for individuals with a range of hearing loss

from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe-to-profound (100 dB HL) and all hearing

loss configurations.

They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals

(audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in

hearing (re)habilitation.

Intended use

The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification devices to be

used in everyday listening environments. The hearing aids may be equipped

with the Zen program, intended to provide a relaxing sound background

(i.e. music/noise source) for adults who desire to listen to such a

background in the quiet.

The battery

Use a type 13 zinc-air battery for your hearing aid.

Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recommended by

your hearing care professional.

NOTE

Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before

inserting it in the hearing aid. Otherwise your hearing aid may not function as

expected.

Never attempt to recharge your hearing aid batteries, as they could

explode.

Never leave a dead battery in the hearing aids while storing them. It could

leak and ruin your hearing aid.

Dispose of used batteries as indicated on the packaging and take note of

the expiry date.

Low battery indication

When the battery is flat, a sound signal will play. If the battery drains

suddenly there may however be no warning. We recommend carrying a

spare battery with you wherever you go.

Changing the battery

To change the battery, do as follows:

Take the adhesive tab off the new battery and make

sure there is no sticky substance left on it. Let it

"breathe" for 60 seconds.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery door

open and remove the old battery.

Now place the new battery in the drawer as shown.

Close the drawer. If it doesn't close easily, the

battery is not placed correctly.

If you are not using the hearing aid for a few days,

remove the battery.

NOTE

Avoid dropping your hearing aid - hold the hearing aid above a soft surface

while changing the battery.

WARNING - KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

●For some types of button batteries, swallowing may lead to serious

injury in as little as two hours or death, due to chemical burns and the

potential perforation of the oesophagus.

●If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, call

the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre immediately on 13 11 26 for fast,

expert advice.

●Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly

secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened.

Do not use if compartment is not secure.

●Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Used/

discharged batteries can still be dangerous.

●Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to

keep their children safe.
