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.

Unless otherwise stated, the

same principles apply to the left

ear.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

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.

Right/left identification

If you are wearing hearing aids in

both ears, it is easy to tell them

apart. Most models will be

marked with a red Widex logo for

the right ear and a blue logo for

the left ear. The arrow shows the

position of the logo.

The battery

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

tery for your hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note of

the expiration date and the recommendations regard-

ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack. 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 the

hearing aid, remember to remove

the adhesive tab on the battery.

Once the tab has been removed, 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 sub-

stance.

8 9

1. Use the nail grip to open the battery drawer. Do not

press the battery drawer beyond the open position.

2. Place the battery in the drawer so that the small

plus (+) sign on the battery is visible when you hold

the hearing aid as shown.

3. You can use the provided battery magnet to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery

is incorrectly inserted.

Important

Be sure to place the battery in the curved battery draw-

er as illustrated and not in the open space inside the

hearing aid.

1. 2. 3.

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 a 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. Exactly how long the hearing aid will

function after the low battery indication varies from

one case to another. 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. When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold

the hearing aid over a table.

10 11

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer also functions as the on/off switch.

1. Close the battery drawer to turn on the hearing aid.

If you have just turned off the hearing aid, wait at

least three seconds before turning it on again.

2. Open the battery drawer to turn off the hearing aid.

In the standard setting, a spoken message will indicate

that the hearing aid has been switched on (see page

6).

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.

1. 2.

Placing the hearing aid

1. Close the battery drawer completely.

2. Hold your hearing aid by the extraction cord with

your thumb and forefinger. Slowly guide the hear-

ing aid into your ear canal until you feel resistance.

3. Let go of the extraction cord and use the tip of your

forefinger to gently push the hearing aid into your

ear until it rests comfortably in your canal.

4. To help position the hearing aid properly you could

pull the outer ear backwards and upwards with the

opposite hand.

3. 4.

12 13

Removing the hearing aid

Gently pull the extraction cord with

your thumb and forefinger.

If it is difficult, you can try to move

the hearing aid carefully from side to

side while pulling the extraction

cord. It may also help to pull the out-

er ear backwards and upwards with

the opposite hand.

Possible start-up settings

The hearing aid can be set to start up in two different

ways:

• In the standard start-up setting, the hearing aid min-

imizes whistling while it is being placed in the ear.

• The alternative is a setting where the hearing aid

whistles slightly while you place it in the ear.

Together with your hearing care professional you can

choose the start-up setting that suits your needs best.

Automatic volume adjustment

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in ac-

cordance with your sound environment.

Fine tuning volume

Ordinarily, you cannot fine tune the volume in your

hearing aid.

However, if you choose to have a remote control for

your hearing aid, the option of fine tuning the volume

becomes available. If your hearing aid has a remote

control, please refer to the user’s instructions for the re-

mote control.

Important

If the volume in your hearing aid is generally too loud

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

or you would like any further information, consult your

hearing care professional.

14 15

Remote control

– an alternative way of operating the hearing aid.

A remote control is an accessory for

your hearing aid. It gives you a number

of additional options, such as adjusting

the volume or changing the listening

program.

For help to determine whether you

could benefit from a remote control,

please consult your hearing care profes-

sional.

Listening programs

Ordinarily, your hearing aid has one listening program

(Master).

However, if you have chosen to have a remote control

for your hearing aid, you can have up to four listening

programs intended for specific listening situations. At

the back of this booklet your hearing care professional

can list which of the following listening programs are

available in your hearing aid. If your needs change over

time, the combination of those listening programs can

be changed.

Master: Standard program

Acclimatization: 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.

16 17

Zen: Makes fractal tones. The generated sounds are ad-

justed according 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.

If your hearing aid is provided with this program op-

tion, up to two listening programs with one Zen style

each can be programmed. Furthermore, a special Zen

program can be made available. This is called Zen+ and

can contain up to three Zen styles.

NOTE: The Zen listening program is only available in

mind440, mind330Z and mind220Z series models.

Zen+ is only available in the mind440 series.

Important

Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with

hearing surrounding sounds including speech. The pro-

grams should not be used when hearing such sounds is

important. Switch the hearing aid to a non-Zen pro-

gram in those situations.

Zen program

Your hearing aid may be provided with a unique op-

tional listening program called Zen. It makes musical

tones (and sometimes a rushing noise) in the back-

ground using the latest in Fractal technology. These

sounds are shaped according to your hearing loss so

you can listen to them at any time and at any place with

a simple push of the program button. The Zen program

may be used alone (without amplification) in quiet

when you are not required to hear surrounding sounds.

Or, it may be used with the Master program so both the

surrounding sounds and the generated sounds (fractal

tones and noise) are heard together.

Benefits

The Zen program provides a relaxing listening back-

ground for some people. When the Zen program is

used in a tinnitus management program, its wearer

may experience some relief from tinnitus.

Indications for use

The Zen program is intended to provide a relaxing

sound background (i.e., music/noise source) for adults

who desire to listen to such a background in quiet. It

may be used as a sound therapy tool in a tinnitus treat-

ment program that is prescribed by a hearing health-

care professional (audiologists, hearing aid specialists,

otolaryngologists) who is trained in tinnitus manage-

ment.

18 19

Directions for use

The Zen program can be activated with a simple push

of the program button on the hearing aid (or on the re-

mote control). Depending on how your Hearing Health-

care Professional has set up the program, you can ac-

cess the Zen program by a “short-press” of the program

button or a “long-press” of the program button.

• “Short-Press” option – the program button is pressed

for less than a second. At most two listening pro-

grams can be programmed for Zen.

• “Long-Press” option – the program button is pressed

and held for more than 1 second. Up to three Zen

styles are available. A “short-press” of the program

button in the long-press mode will allow you to cycle

through the available Zen styles. You can exit the

“long-press” mode by pressing and holding the pro-

gram button for more than a second.

Because of the unique ways in which Zen is pro-

grammed in your hearing aid, please follow the recom-

mendations of your hearing healthcare professionals

as to how to use the program, when to use the pro-

gram and/or how long to use the program.

Precautions

To ensure the safety and effectiveness of the Zen pro-

gram when used as a sound therapy tool for tinnitus,

the tinnitus management program must be designed

and conducted by Hearing Healthcare Professionals

who are trained in tinnitus management. A tinnitus

management program should include a complete au-

diological evaluation, tinnitus diagnosis, counseling,

use of proper amplification and/or sound therapy tools.

Prior to any tinnitus management program, it is advis-

able that you seek medical attention to exhaust any

medical or surgical treatment options.

Use your hearing aid and the Zen program according

to the directions and schedule recommended by your

hearing healthcare professionals.

Warnings

Use of the Zen program may interfere with hearing ev-

eryday sounds including speech. It should not be used

when hearing such sounds is important. Switch the

hearing aid to a non-Zen program in those situations.
