your hearing healthcare professional and
contact your physician.
In the unlikely case that any parts remain
in the ear canal aer the removal of the
hearing aid, contact a physician immediately.
Remove your hearing aids for CT and
MRI scans or for other electromagnetic
procedures.
Special care should be exercised in wearing
hearing aids when maximum sound
pressure levels exceed 132 decibels. There
may be a risk of impairing your remaining
hearing. Speak with your hearing healthcare
professional to ensure the maximum output
of your hearing aids is suitable for your
particular hearing loss.
Magnet and battery warnings
Never leave hearing aids, batteries or
magnets where small children and pets
can reach them. Never put hearing aids or
batteries in your mouth. If a hearing aid
or battery is swallowed, call a physician
immediately.
Warnings
The intended use of hearing aids is to
amplify and transmit sound to the ears and
hereby compensate for impaired hearing.
The hearing aids (specially programmed for
each hearing loss) must only be used by the
intended person. They should not be used
by any other person as they could damage
hearing.
Hearing aids should only be used as
directed by your physician or hearing
healthcare professional.
Hearing aids will not restore normal
hearing and will not prevent or improve a
hearing impairment resulting from organic
conditions.
Do not use your hearing aids in explosion
hazard areas.
Allergic reactions to hearing aids are unlikely.
However, if you experience itching, redness,
soreness, inflammation or a burning
sensation in or around your ears, inform
6 7
Your hearing aids use the most modern
components to provide the best possible
sound quality in every listening situation.
However, communication devices such as
digital cell phones can create interference
(a buzzing sound) in hearing aids. If you
experience interference from a cell phone
being used close by, you can minimize this
interference in a number of ways. Switch
your hearing aids to another program, turn
your head in a dierent direction or locate
the cell phone and move away from it.
Labeling
The serial number and year of manufacture are
located on the outside of the hearing aid.
The magnet may aect some medical
devices or electronic systems. Always keep
the magnet (or the telephone equipped
with the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”) away
from pacemakers, credit cards or other
magnetically sensitive devices.
Too high distortion during dialing or
phoning may mean that the phone handset
is stressed by the magnet. To avoid any
damage, please move the magnet to
another place on the telephone receiver.
Precautions
The use of hearing aids is only part of
hearing rehabilitation; auditory training and
lip reading instruction may be required as
well.
In most cases, infrequent use of hearing
aids does not provide full benet. Once you
have become accustomed to your hearing
aids, wear your hearing aids everyday all
day.

Cell phone compatibility rating
Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing
sound in their hearing aids when they are using
cell phones, indicating that the cell phone and
hearing aid may not be compatible. According
to the ANSI C63.19 standard (ANSI C63.19-
2006 American National Standard Methods of
Measurement of Compatibility Between Wireless
Communications Devices and Hearing Aids), the
compatibility of a particular hearing aid and cell
phone can be predicted by adding the rating for
the hearing aid immunity to the rating for the cell
phone emissions. For example, the sum of the
hearing aid rating of 4 (M4) and a telephone rating
of 3 (M3) would result in a combined rating of 7.
Any combined rating that equals at least 5 would
provide “normal use”; a combined rating of 6 or
greater would indicate “excellent performance.”
The immunity of this hearing aid is at least
M4/T4*. The equipment performance
measurements, categories and system
classications are based upon the best
information available but cannot guarantee that
all users will be satised.
* For models featuring a telecoil input option
Note: The performance of the individual
hearing aids may vary with individual cell
phones. Therefore, please try this hearing aid
with your cell phone or, if you are purchasing
a new phone, please be sure to try it with your
hearing aid prior to purchase. For additional
guidance, please ask your hearing healthcare
professional for the booklet entitled “Hearing
aid compatibility with digital wireless cell
p h o n e s .”

Battery information
Low battery warning
Two long beeps indicate the hearing aid battery
is low. Aer the low battery warning, sounds
may not be as clear. This is normal and can be
xed by changing the batteries.
If you can’t hear the low battery warning, your
hearing healthcare professional can change its
pitch or loudness. If you prefer, it can be turned
o entirely.
Your hearing aids are designed to generate a
low battery warning every 30 minutes until you
change the batteries, but depending on the
condition of the batteries, they may die before
another low battery warning occurs. Therefore,
it is recommended that the batteries are
replaced as soon as possible once you hear the
low battery warning.
14 15
Replacing the battery
1. Gently swing out the battery door with your
ngernail.
2. Grasp the battery with your thumb and
index nger and remove.
3. Insert the new battery into the battery
compartment with the plus (+) sign on the
battery facing the same way as the battery
indicator on the battery door. This will
ensure that the battery door closes properly.
Note: If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the
hearing aid will not turn on.
4. Close the battery door.
Caring for batteries
• Always discard batteries in a safe and
environmentally friendly way.
• To prolong battery life, remember to turn
your hearing aids o when not in use,
especially when asleep.
• Remove the batteries and keep the battery
door open while hearing aids are not being
worn, especially when asleep. This will allow
internal moisture to evaporate.

Tinnitus masker
Tinnitus masker uses broadband noise to
provide temporary relief of tinnitus.
Tinnitus masker warnings
The tinnitus masker is a broadband sound
generator. It provides a means of sound
enrichment therapy that can be used as
part of a personalized tinnitus management
program to provide temporary relief from
tinnitus.
The underlying principle of sound
enrichment is to provide supplementary
noise stimulation which can help defocus
your attention from your tinnitus and avoid
negative reactions. Sound enrichment,
coupled with instructional counseling, is an
established approach to managing tinnitus.
Air conduction hearing aids with the
tinnitus masker are to be tted by a hearing
healthcare professional familiar with the
diagnosis and management of tinnitus.
Should you develop any side eects
while using the tinnitus masker, such as
headaches, nausea, dizziness or heart
palpitations or experience a decrease
in auditory function such as decreased
loudness tolerance, worsening of tinnitus, or
speech not as clear, you should discontinue
use of the device and seek medical
attention.
The volume of the tinnitus masker can be
set to a level which could lead to permanent
hearing damage when used for a prolonged
period of time. Should the tinnitus masker
be set to such a level in your hearing aid,
your hearing healthcare professional will
advise you of the maximum amount of time
per day you should use the tinnitus masker.
The tinnitus masker should never be used at
uncomfortable levels.
18 19
Important information
The tinnitus masker generates sounds that are
used as part of your personalized temporary
tinnitus management program to provide
relief from tinnitus. It should always be
used as prescribed by a hearing healthcare
professional who is familiar with the diagnosis
and treatment of tinnitus.
Good health practice requires that a person
reporting tinnitus have a medical evaluation by
a licensed ear physician before using a sound
generator. The purpose of such an evaluation
is to ensure that medically treatable conditions,
which may be causing tinnitus, are identied
and treated prior to using a sound generator.
The tinnitus masker is intended for adults 18
years of age or older who have both hearing
loss and tinnitus.
Operating instructions
Your hearing aids may come with two controls
that allow you to further adjust them – a rotary
dial and a push button. Your hearing aids may

26 27
Using the telephone
Push button
Your hearing healthcare professional may have
set up a phone program on your hearing aids
that you can access using the push button or
optional remote control.
Easy-t
Your hearing aids may also have a telephone
feature, which automatically switches to a
dedicated telephone program when a receiver
is brought close to one of your hearing aids. You
will hear a short melody when you switch to the
easy-t program. When the receiver is moved
away from the hearing aid it will automatically
return to the previous listening program.
If your hearing aid doesn’t automatically switch
to the easy-t program when a receiver is held
