NOTE
The CIC-M is not a wireless hearing aid, which means that the hearing aids
cannot communicate with each other or with any accessory. Consequently,
you cannot adjust the sound and you will only have one listening program.
NOTE
The program names in the table are the default names. If you have chosen to
use some of the other names available, write the new names in the table. That
way you will always know which programs you have in your hearing aids.

YOURHEARINGAID
Welcome
Congratulations on your new hearing aid.
Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it.
Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid.
NOTE
Your hearing aid and its accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in this
booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes we consider necessary.

Important safety information
Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used im-
properly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even
fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a doctor immediately and the 24
Hour National Button Battery Ingestion Hotline at (202) 625-3333.
Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to
ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.
Contact your doctor or hearing care professional immediately if you sus-
pect you may have an ear infection.
Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair
dryer.
Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion
or cream.
Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.
Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use
yours, as this could damage your hearing.
Never use your hearing aids in environments where there may be explo-
sive gases, such as in mines, etc.
Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from chil-
dren.
7
Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself. Contact your hearing
care professional if you need to have your hearing aid repaired.
Your hearing aids contain radio communication technology. Always ob-
serve the environment in which you are using them. If any restrictions ap-
ply, you must take precautions to comply with these.
Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high humid-
ity, and dry them quickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.
Your hearing aids should be stored and transported within the temperature and
humidity ranges of -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and 10%-95% rH.
Storage and transportation up to 60°C (140°F) with 10%-95% rH can be accepted
in shorter periods (duration of max. of 2 weeks).
Your hearing aids are designed to operate from 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F).

THEHEARINGAID
Indications for use
The hearing aids are indicated for individuals older than 36 months with a
range of hearing loss from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe (90 dB HL) and all
hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals (audiol-
ogists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing
(re)habilitation and tinnitus management.
Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification devices to be
used in everyday listening environments. The hearing aids may be equipped
with the Zen program intended to provide a relaxing sound background (i.e.
music/noise source) for adults older than 21 years who desire to listen to
such a background in quiet.
The battery
Use a type 10 zinc-air battery for your hearing aid.
Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recommended by
your hearing care professional.
9
NOTE
Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before insert-
ing it in the hearing aid. Otherwise your hearing aid may not function as expec-
ted.
Never attempt to recharge your hearing aid batteries, as they could ex-
plode.
Never leave a flat battery in the hearing aids while storing them. It could
leak and ruin your hearing aid.
Dispose of used batteries as indicated on the packaging and take note of
the expiry date.
Low battery indication
When the battery is weak, a sound signal will play. If the battery drains sud-
denly there may however be no warning. We recommend carrying a spare
battery with you wherever you go.
Changing the battery
To change the battery, do as follows:
Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery door
open and remove the old battery.
Take the adhesive tab off the new battery and make
sure there is no sticky substance left on it. Let it
"breathe" for 60 seconds.
