Thank you…

…for choosing a Widex hearing aid.

Your hearing aid is a sophisticated instrument that can

be adjusted to your requirements in consultation with

your hearing care professional.

All illustrations in this booklet

show a right-ear hearing aid.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

The hearing aid

1. Microphone openings

2. Volume control, available on some models

3. Program button

4. On/off function

5. Nail grip

6. Sound outlet

7. Widex wax guard

8. Vent (Not in all models).

Important

Please read this booklet carefully before you start using

your hearing aid.

Your hearing aid and accessories may not look ex-

actly as illustrated in this booklet. We furthermore

reserve the right to make any changes considered

necessary.

6 7

Right/left identification

If you are wearing hearing aids in both ears, it is easy to

tell them apart as the right-ear hearing aid has a red

Widex logo, and the left-ear hearing aid a blue.

The arrow shows the position of the

logo.

Function signals

Your hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indi-

cate the use of certain functions. The signal can be a

spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing care

professional in consultation with you. The signal can

also be deactivated.

The battery

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 312 bat-

tery for your hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note of

the expiry date and the recommendations regarding

disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

8 9

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in the

hearing aid, remember to remove the

adhesive tab. Once the tab has been

removed, the battery will start func-

tioning after a few seconds. Do not

use batteries on which there is a sticky

residue from the tab or other unwant-

ed substance.

1. Use the nail grip to push the battery compartment

cover downwards and open the cover. Do not press

the battery compartment cover beyond the open

position.

2. Place the battery so that the plus (+) sign of the

battery faces upwards.

3. You can use the battery magnet provided to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery compartment cover does not close easily,

the battery is incorrectly inserted.

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

hearing aid over a table.

Low battery indication

In the standard setting, the hearing aid will produce a

spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted

(see page 6). If the setting with tone indication has

been chosen, four beep-tones will be produced. Once

the battery is totally exhausted, the hearing aid will be

completely silent. We recommend that you always

have a spare battery with you.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.

Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing

aid.

1. 2. 3. Important

Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if

the battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this

possibility, in particular when you are in traffic or are

otherwise dependent on warning signals.

10 11

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery compartment cover of your hearing aid

also functions as the on/off switch.

1. Close the battery compartment cover and push it

upwards 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.

2. Push the battery compartment cover downwards to

turn the hearing aid off.

In the standard setting a spoken message will indicate

that the hearing aid has been switched on (see page 6).

Please remember to turn off the hearing aid when it is

not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will

not be used for several days.

Positioning the hearing aid

Close the battery compartment cover completely.

1. Hold your hearing aid with your thumb and fore-

finger. Slowly guide the hearing aid into your ear

canal until you feel resistance.

2. Let go of the hearing aid and use the tip of your

forefinger to gently push it into your ear until it

rests comfortably in your ear canal.

3. To help position the hearing aid properly you could

pull the outer ear backwards and upwards with the

opposite hand.

1. 2. 3.

12 13

Removing the hearing aid

Hold the hearing aid with your

thumb and forefinger and pull

gently.

If it is difficult, you can try to move

the hearing aid carefully from side

to side. It may also help to pull the

outer ear backwards and upwards

with the opposite hand.

Automatic volume adjustment

The hearing aid adjusts volume automatically in ac-

cordance with your sound environment.

Important

If the volume in your hearing aid is generally too loud

or too weak, or if the reproduced sounds are distorted,

or if you would like any further information, consult

your hearing care professional.

14 15

Fine tuning volume

Your hearing aid may be provided with a volume con-

trol, shaped like a small lever. (The lever on your hear-

ing aid may be positioned differently than the lever in

the drawing).

Push the lever upwards to gradu-

ally raise the volume.

Push the lever downwards to gra-

dually lower the volume.

Each time you operate the volume control, you will

hear a beep-tone – unless you have chosen to have the

tone indication deactivated (see page 6). When you

raise the volume, you will hear a higher beep-tone for

each step the volume is raised. When you lower the vol-

ume, you will hear a deeper beep-tone for each step

the volume is lowered. When the maximum or mini-

mum adjustment level is reached, a steady tone will

sound.

To turn off the sound completely:

• Keep pressing the volume control lever downwards

after the steady tone has sounded.

To turn the sound on again:

• Press the lever upwards or

• Change listening program or

• Turn the hearing aid off, wait 3 seconds and turn it on

again

Any adjustment of the volume setting will be cancelled

when your hearing aid is turned off.

If you wish to have the volume control disabled, please

consult your hearing care professional.

16 17

Listening programs

Your hearing aid may be provided with up to three lis-

tening programs intended for specific listening situa-

tions.

At the front of this booklet your hearing care profes-

sional can list the listening programs that are available

in your hearing aid. If your needs change over time, the

combination of listening programs can be altered. You

can choose from the following programs:

Master: Standard program

Acclimatisation: Has the same features as the Master

program, but provides slightly less amplification.

Music: For listening to music.

TV: For listening to the TV.

Comfort: Attenuates background noise

Audibility Extender: Makes high-frequency sounds

audible.

T: In this program you listen via the telecoil (T) and not

via the hearing aid microphone (M). The telecoil is used

where a loop system is installed. If you activate the tel-

ecoil program, you listen to a specific sound source and

shut out surrounding sounds. (Please remember that

there are situations in which it is particularly important

to be able to hear the surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic,

warning signals)).

M + T: In this program you listen via the hearing aid mi-

crophone (M) and the telecoil (T).

Zen: Makes fractal tones. The tones are adjusted ac-

cording to your hearing loss.

The Zen program may be used with amplification so

both the surrounding sounds and the fractal tones are

heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without am-

plification) in quiet when you are not required to hear

surrounding sounds.

Up to two listening programs with one Zen style each

can be programmed for Zen.

Important

Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with

hearing surrounding sounds including speech. The

programs should not be used when hearing such

sounds is important. Switch the hearing aid to a non-

Zen program in those situations.

18 19

Switching between the

listening programs

You can switch between the lis-

tening programs by using the

program button on the battery

compartment cover. Each time

you use the program button, a click is produced unless

this function has been disabled. A spoken message will

indicate your choice of program.

If you have chosen the tone indication, beep-tones tell

you which program you have chosen:

• Program 1: One short beep

• Program 2: Two short beeps

• Program 3: Three short beeps

If you wish to have the program button disabled,

please consult your hearing care professional.

Remote control

- an alternative way of operating the hearing aid.

A remote control is an accessory for

your hearing aid. You can easily ope-

rate your hearing aid without a re-

mote control, but it gives you a

number of additional options.

For help in determining whether you

could benefit from a remote control,

please consult your hearing care pro-

fessional.
