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 opening, where the sound enters the

hearing aid.

2. Battery drawer, which keeps the battery in place.

3. Nail grip on the battery drawer for easy opening.

4. On/off function, which is built into the battery

drawer.

5. Sound outlet, through which the amplified sound

from the hearing aid reaches your ear.

6. Widex wax guard

7. Extraction cord, which makes it easy to remove the

hearing aid from the ear canal.

8. Relief vent (short) for ventilation of the ear canal.

9. Relief vent (full length) for ventilation of the ear

canal.

Important

Please read this booklet carefully before you start

using your hearing aid.

2. / 4.

8. / 9.

At the back of this booklet your hearing care profes-

sional can indicate the type of vent used in your hear-

ing aid, if any.

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. An alterna-

tive model has a red or a blue

shell, respectively.

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 bat-

tery 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.

The battery

We recommend Zinc Air batteries. Use a type 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 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.

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.

Low battery indication

In the standard setting, the hearing aid will produce a

spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted

(see page 7). 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.

Important

Be sure to place the battery in the curved battery

drawer as illustrated and not in the open space in-

side the hearing aid.

1. 2. 3.

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

7).

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.

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

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 volume is adjusted 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.

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.

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 ad-

ditional options, such as adjusting the

volume or changing the listening pro-

gram.

For help to determine whether you

could benefit from a remote control,

please consult your hearing care profes-

sional.

If your hearing aid has a remote control, please also re-

fer to the user’s instructions for this.

Listening programs

Ordinarily, your hearing aid has one listening program

(Master).

However, if you choose to have a remote control for

your hearing aid, you can have several listening pro-

grams intended for specific listening situations. De-

pending on how your hearing care professional has

programmed your hearing aid, you can have up to six

programs.

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.

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.
