Your hearing aid, earmould, cleaning accessories and

the like may not look exactly the same as in these us-

er’s instructions. We furthermore reserve the right to

make any changes considered necessary.

Hearing aids and their accessories should

not be disposed of with normal house-

hold waste. Please consult your national

Widex distributor for advice on how to

dispose of your hearing aid.

Your new Senso Vita SV-38

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid. We have included these user’s instruc-

tions to inform you about the various aspects associ-

ated with wearing hearing aids. The instructions are

made up of two parts: The first part is an introduction

to life as a hearing aid user, how to get used to new

sounds, etc. The second part contains facts about

your hearing aid. How to operate and maintain it and

what you can do if you experience problems. Both

parts are equally important, so we recommend that

you read the entire booklet to get full satisfaction of

the quality and performance we have built into your

new Senso Vita SV-38 hearing aid.

A world of new sounds

Becoming a hearing aid user can be an exciting chal-

lenge. Your hearing aid does not restore normal hear-

ing, but it brings back sounds that you may not have

heard or thought about for years - everyday sounds

such as a ticking clock, dripping water, the television,

the car, footsteps on hard floors, children’s voices,

music, doors banging, laughter, tools, machinery, etc.

All these sounds can be a bit overwhelming. Try to

identify and localise the sounds you are not accus-

tomed to hearing. Once you get used to hearing these

everyday sounds again, they will become a part of

your active world of sounds.

Having something in your ear

Your ears need to become accustomed to your new

hearing aids. If you are a first-time user, you also have

to get used to having something in your ear. It is not

uncommon to feel a sensation of pressure in the ear

for the first few days and your ear canal may feel

warm and a bit sore. But if wearing the hearing aid

causes you outright discomfort, you should consult

the hearing healthcare professional where you re-

ceived your hearing aid.

Practice makes perfect

It is a good idea to start slowly and wear your hearing

aids for just short intermittent periods of time, for ex-

ample one or two hours, and first try them in situa-

tions with few people and not too much noise. Grad-

ually you can use them for longer periods of time and

in noisier environments. It is important that you allow

yourself the time needed to get used to the new

sounds and the new sensation in your ears.

The road to better hearing and a more active

everyday life

Your hearing aids may help you regain the pleasure of

communicating with other people and increase your

quality of life. So, although it may feel like a big chal-

lenge in the beginning, it will be worth the effort.

Help to help yourself

Most modern hearing aids are designed with a multi-

tude of options, settings and features to benefit most

hearing aid users. Your Senso Vita SV-38 hearing aid

is set individually to your hearing loss and hearing to

ensure the best and most comfortable sound repro-

duction.

After a period of use, your hearing aid may have to be

fine tuned by your hearing healthcare professional.

Maybe you have discovered new needs or maybe

there are situations where the loudness level or sound

reproduction is not satisfactory. The more details you

can provide for your hearing healthcare professional

about your initial experience with the hearing aids,

the easier it is to find the right solution. Before your

next consultation with your hearing healthcare pro-

fessional, it is important that you notice how your

new hearing aids feel.

Make a note of the situations where you are not satis-

fied and why. Is the problem related to low frequency,

high frequency, weak or loud sounds? Is it all the time

or only in specific situations? Try to describe your ex-

periences as detailed as possible so that you and your

hearing healthcare professional have something to go

on when you meet again.

The battery

Battery type

The recommended battery type for your Senso Vita

SV-38 is:

Zinc Air battery type 675

For acquisition of batteries, consult your hearing health-

care professional. Please note the expiry date on the

battery pack. To ensure 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 func-

tioning after a few seconds. The lifetime of the bat-

tery depends on a number of factors, such as the set-

ting 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 remove the

adhesive tab. Do not use batteries on

which there is a sticky residue from

the tab or other unwanted substance

as this can block the battery airholes.

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

battery is incorrectly inserted.

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 battery.

Turning the hearing aid

on and off

The battery drawer is placed at

the bottom of the hearing aid.

The battery drawer also func-

tions 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 visi-

ble on the switch when the aid

is turned off.

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

again soon.

Left/right identification

If you wear hearing aids on both ears, your hearing

healthcare professional can put a coloured mark (red

nameplate) on your right hearing aid, so you can eas-

ily see which aid is for the left ear and which is for the

right ear.

Placing Senso Vita SV-38

on/in the ear

Insert a battery in your hearing aid. We recommend

that you turn off the hearing aid before placing it on

the ear. First insert the earmould in the ear canal while

holding the lower part of the tubing. It may also be

helpful 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. When

the hearing aid is in its correct

position, turn on the hearing

aid.

Removing Senso Vita SV-38

First remove the hearing aid from its position behind

the ear. Carefully pull the earmould out of the ear ca-

nal, while holding the lower part of the tubing. If it is

difficult, it may help to try to move the earmould care-

fully from side to side while pulling it out. It may also

help to pull the outer ear backwards and upwards

with the opposite hand.

Automatic adjustment of loudness

Senso Vita SV-38 adjusts loudness automatically in ac-

cordance with your sound environment. Several thou-

sand times per second, Senso Vita SV-38 analyses the

surroundings and tailors its sound accordingly. With

Senso Vita SV-38 you do not have to think about ad-

justing the volume – it happens quite automatically.

Senso Vita SV-38 is a powerful hearing aid. Avoid pro-

longed use at uncomfortably high sound pressure lev-

els – it might damage your hearing.

Important: If the volume in your hearing aid is too

loud or too weak, or if the reproduced sounds are dis-

torted, or you would like any further information,

consult the hearing healthcare professional where

you received your hearing aid.
