Your new Senso Vita SV-CIC

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-CIC 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 localize 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-CIC 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.
