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.

The hearing aid

1. Microphone openings, where the sound enters the

hearing aid.

2. Volume control for fine tuning of volume is availa-

ble on some models.

3. Program button for choosing between different

listening programs.

4. On/off function, which is integrated into the bat-

tery compartment cover.

5. Nail grip on the battery compartment cover for

easy opening

6. Sound outlet, through which the amplified sound

from the hearing aid reaches your ear.

7. Widex wax guard

8. Relief vent for ventilation of the ear canal. (Not in

all models).

Important

Please read this booklet carefully before you start

using your hearing aid.

6 7

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

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.

The battery

We recommend Zinc Air batteries. Use a type 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. The bat-

tery 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.

8 9

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in

the hearing aid, remember to re-

move the adhesive tab on the bat-

tery. Once the tab has been re-

moved, 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

unwanted 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 bat-

tery faces upwards.

3. You can use the provided battery magnet to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery compartment cover does not close easily,

the battery is incorrectly inserted.

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 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 sec-

onds 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 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.

Placing the hearing aid

Close the battery compartment cover completely.

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

ger. 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.

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.

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

minimises whistling while it is being placed in the ear.

The alternative is a setting where the hearing aid whis-

tles 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 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 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 automatically set

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.

Listening programs

Depending on how your hearing care professional has

programmed your hearing aid, you can have up to six

listening programs intended for specific listening situa-

tions.

At the back 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 changed.

When selecting a listening program, please remember

that there are situations where it is particularly impor-

tant to be able to hear the surrounding sounds (e.g.

traffic, warning signals).

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.

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.

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 switch to another program, a

click is produced unless this function has been disa-

bled.

In the standard setting, a spoken message will indicate

your choice of program (see page 6).

Zen+

If your hearing aid is provided with the Zen+ program,

you access this program by pressing the program but-

ton for more than one second. This function is called

SmartToggle.

A short press of the program button in the Smart-

Toggle mode will allow you to cycle through the avail-

able Zen styles. You can exit SmartToggle by pressing

and holding the program button for more than a sec-

ond.

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.

Up to two listening programs with one Zen style each

can be programmed for Zen. Furthermore, a special

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

and can contain up to three Zen styles.
