ese user’s instructions contain information re-

garding various aspects of wearing hearing aids and

are made up of two parts: (1) an introduction to life

as a hearing aid user getting used to new sounds,

etc. (2) facts about your hearing aid such as how to

operate and maintain it, and what you can do if you

experience problems. We recommend that you read

the entire booklet in order to get the most from your

new hearing aids.

We hope you will be pleased with your new

Widex hearing aid.

A world of new sounds

Becoming a hearing aid user can be an exciting chal-

lenge. While your hearing aid does not restore nor-

mal hearing, it does enable you to hear sounds that

you may not have heard or thought about for years

- everyday sounds such as a clock ticking, water

dripping, television, a car, footsteps on hard ﬂoors,

children, music, doors slamming, etc. Hearing these

sounds again can be overwhelming - try to identify

and localize them so that they will become a part of

your everyday active world.

The road to better hearing and a more active

everyday life

Your hearing aid can help you regain the pleasure of

communicating with other people and enhance your

quality of life. So, although it may feel challenging in

the beginning, it will be well worth the eﬀort.

Widex hearing aids are designed with a multitude of

options, settings and features to beneﬁt most hear-

ing aid users. Your Senso Vita élan hearing aid is set

individually to your hearing to ensure the best and

most comfortable sound reproduction.

After a period of use in which you experience more

diverse listening environments, your hearing aids

may have to be ﬁne tuned by your hearing health-

care professional. e more details you can provide

for your hearing healthcare professional about your

initial experience with the hearing aids, the easier it

will be to ﬁnd the right solution.

Make detailed notes of your concerns and any dif-

ﬁcult listening situations to share with your hearing

healthcare professional at your next appointment.

Does the hearing aid feel comfortable in your ear?

Are there diﬃculties related to low or high frequen-

cy sounds, or weak or loud sounds? Does the prob-

lem occur all the time or only in speciﬁc situations?

e details that you provide will enable your hear-

ing healthcare professional to oﬀer you appropriate

solutions.

Senso Vita élan

Senso Vita élan gives you the clearest and most com-

fortable sound possible and automatically adjusts

loudness according to your listening environment.

rough a continuous analysis of the incoming

sounds, Senso Vita élan is able to reduce noise and

enhance speech. It is equipped with two listening

programs: one for ordinary, quiet environments and

one for noisy situations. It can also be provided with

the traditional extra listening programs enabling the

use of your Senso Vita élan with the telephone or

loop systems.

e battery

Battery type

e Senso Vita élan uses a size 13 Zinc Air battery.

To purchase batteries, consult your hearing health-

care professional. Please note the expiration date

and the instructions regarding disposal of used bat-

teries on the battery pack. Do not use batteries past

the expiration date. Zinc Air type batteries need air

to be activated; therefore, do not remove the adhe-

sive tab until just before inserting the battery in the

hearing aid. Once the tab has been removed, the

battery will start functioning after a few seconds.

e lifetime of the battery depends on a number of

factors, such as the setting of your hearing aid, how

many hours you use it daily and the listening envi-

ronments in which you use it.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in

your hearing aid, remember to re-

move 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 air holes.

Push the nail grip upwards to

swing open the battery drawer.

e nail grip is located on the

opposite side of the on/oﬀ switch

at the bottom of the hearing aid.

e plus (+) sign of the battery

must face upwards. If the battery

drawer does not close easily, the

battery is incorrectly inserted.

14 15

Changing the battery

If you hear four rapid beep-tones while wearing

your hearing aid, it is an indication that the battery

is nearly exhausted. Once the battery dies, the hear-

ing aid will be completely silent. Exactly how long

the hearing aid will function after the beep-tones

varies from one case to another. We recommend

that you always have a spare battery with you.

Never leave a dead battery in the hearing aid. Dead

batteries may leak and 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

e battery drawer is placed at

the bottom of the hearing aid.

e battery drawer also func-

tions as the on/oﬀ switch.

e hearing aid is turned on

when the switch is pushed

upwards, and oﬀ when the

switch is pushed downwards.

e word “OFF” is clearly

visible on the switch when

the hearing 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 colored marks on your

hearing aids so you can eas-

ily see which is for the left ear

and which is for the right ear

(red mark = right and blue

mark = left).

Placing Senso Vita élan 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 place the hearing aid behind the

ear, so that the earhook and tubing rest comfortably

on the ear, close to your head. en insert the é-tip

in the ear canal while holding the lower part of the

tubing. Lastly, position the anchor. It should rest at

the opening of the ear canal and secure the position

of the é-tip as well as the entire élan ear-set. When

everything is in the correct position, turn the hear-

ing aid on.

18 19

Removing Senso Vita élan

First remove the hearing aid from its position be-

hind the ear.en, carefully pull the é-tip out of the

ear canal, while holding the lower part of the tub-

ing.

Automatic adjustment of loudness

Senso Vita élan analyzes the surrounding sound en-

vironment several thousand times per second and

adjusts its volume accordingly. You do not have to

think about adjusting the volume – it happens au-

tomatically.

Important: If the volume in your hearing aid is too

loud or too weak, or if the reproduced sounds are

distorted, or you would like any further information,

consult the hearing healthcare professional from

whom you received your hearing aid.
