Getting started
On/Off function
1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument turns on,
and the default program will be activated.
2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Use your
fingernail to pull it open.
On
Low battery indicator
SmartStart
Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on
your ears. If you prefer to turn them on just prior to placing them on your ear, your hearing care professional
can activate a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments
turn on by ten seconds after the battery compartment is closed. With SmartStart, a beep will be heard for
each second of the delay period.
Inserting/Replacing the battery
1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail. Remove the used battery if present.
2. Prepare the new battery (please refer to page 7 for information on appropriate battery type/size for your
hearing instrument). Remove the protective foil and wait 2 minutes before inserting the battery into the
hearing instrument to allow activation of the battery.
3. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the
correct position.
4. Gently close the battery door.
10
Tip:
1. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of one year.
2. Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid unnecessary
battery consumption.
Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give an acoustical indication when the
battery is reaching its end of life. The hearing instrument will reduce amplification and emit a melody if battery power gets too low. This signal will recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically
switches off. It is recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.
Low battery indicator (instruments paired with accessories only)
Active usage of the Interton Unite accessories (Remote Control, Phone Clip, TV Streamer and Mini Microphone) requires more battery power from the hearing instruments than when these are working on their own
meaning that battery life is highly dependent on the amount of wireless accessory usage. When the battery
in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use of the Interton Unite TV Streamer, Phone
Clip and Mini Microphone cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play two sets of descending
tones. After this, your hearing instrument and Interton Unite Remote Control will continue to work as usual,
but you will not be able to use your Interton Unite TV Streamer, Phone Clip and Mini Microphone. At some
point the battery level will not support the remote control either and you will once again hear the descending
tones. The hearing instruments will continue to work as usual. Once a new battery is inserted, full operation
of the accessories will resume.
11
Sports lock
The sports lock will be applied or adjusted by your hearing care professional.
Inserting/Removing hearing instruments
Insertion (custom RIE and UP moulds)
1. Hold the RIE mould between your thumb and index finger and position its sound
outlet in your ear canal.
2. Slide the RIE mould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.
3. Move the RIE mould up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned correctly
in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
4. Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing
instruments should fit snugly but comfortably. If hearing instruments cause irritation of
the ears, contact your hearing care professional.
Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, RIE moulds, or tubing yourself.
Tip: It may be helpful to pull the top of your ear back with your opposite hand during insertion to open
the ear canal.
12
Insertion (domes)
1. Hold the receiver tube where it bends, and
gently place the dome into the ear canal. Push
the dome far enough into the ear canal so that
the receiver tube lies flush with the side of the
head.
2. It is important that the tube and the dome fit
correctly into your ear.
3. When the dome is placed correctly, you should
not be able to see the receiver tube sticking out
when facing a mirror.
Note: You should never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the receiver tube.
Removal (RIE moulds)
1. Grasp the removal string and pull the RIE or UP mould outward.
2. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing the hearing instrument.
Removal (domes)
1. Hold the receiver tube with your thumb and forefinger and remove the tube.
2. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing the
hearing instrument.
13
Program and Multi-Function buttons
If you have a hearing aid with a program button or multi-function button, this will allow you to use up to four
different listening programs, each of them suitable for certain situations.
When using the program or multi-function buttons to switch programs, each press will move the instrument
to the next program. For example, if it was in program 1 it will switch to program 2, if it was in program 2 it
will switch to program 3 etc.
When you close the battery door and switch the instrument on, it will start in program 1. Press the program
or multi-function buttons if you want to move to a different listening program.
If you have two hearing instruments with the synchronization function enabled, program changes to one
instrument will automatically repeat in the second instrument. When a program change is made in one
instrument, you will hear the same amount of confirmation beeps in the second instrument.
Program button (61 models only)
Multi-function button (62 models only)
Your hearing care professional can fill out the following table for you.
Programme
Description of when to use
Your instrument has a fully automatic volume control. Therefore, it should not be necessary to control the
volume manually.
However, in addition to controlling listening programs, the multi-function button (62 models only) provides
you with the ability to adjust the amplification to your liking.
If you have two hearing instruments with the synchronization function enabled and you have the Multifunction Button set for volume control functionality, volume adjustments to one instrument will automatically
repeat in the second instrument. When a volume control adjustment is made in one instrument, you will hear
a confirmation beep. A beep in the second instrument will follow.
The multi-function button is designed to change the volume or listening programs of the hearing instrument,
based on different ways it is pressed.

i Flight mode* (Wireless models only)
When boarding a flight or entering an area where RF transmitters are prohibited, wireless functionality must
be deactivated, as it is not allowed to radiate radio signals during flights or in otherwise restricted areas.
For Alera wireless hearing instruments follow the following steps to enter and leave flight mode:
It is possible to disable wireless operation by opening and closing the battery compartment of the hearing
instrument while at the same time pressing the push button.
When disabled manually, wireless operation may be re-enabled by opening and closing the battery compartment normally, (i.e. without at the same time pressing the push button).
For Verso wireless hearing instruments follow the following steps to enter and leave flight mode:
It is possible to disable wireless operation by opening and closing the battery compartment three times
within a ten second period (open-close, open-close, open-close). Your instruments will now be in flight
mode.
If the hearing instrument is in flight mode, the hearing instrument must have been operating in flight mode
for at least 10 seconds before attempting to enable wireless again. it is possible to re-enable wireless operation by opening and closing the battery door once. 10 seconds after this operation is completed, wireless
operation will begin again.
16
*For wireless models only
17
i
Note: It is important to wait an additional 15 seconds after wireless function resumes before opening and closing the battery compartment again for any reason. If the battery compartment is opened and
closed during this 15 second window, flight mode will resume.
Telephone use
If your hearing instruments are fit with a receiver open dome or receiver tulip dome, you can probably
use the telephone as you normally would by holding it up to your ear canal opening. If your hearing
instruments are fit with a receiver power dome or RIE or UP mould, finding the optimal position for holding a telephone while using a hearing instrument may require practice for some individuals, and one or
more of the following suggestions may be helpful.
1. Hold the telephone as you would normally.
2. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the
microphones are located).
3. If whistling occurs, it may take a brief moment of holding the telephone in
the same position before the hearing instrument adapts and reduces the
feedback.
4. Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly
away from the ear.
5. Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional may
activate a programme specifically for telephone use.
18
19
Listen to radio or TV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since they usually speak
clearly, then try other programmes.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your hearing care professional will be able to give you advice on
available accessories to enhance your listening capabilities for TV and radio.
Cellular phones
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, not all cell phones are hearing instrument compatible. The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular cellular phone or of your wireless telephony
service provider.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cellular phone, your hearing care professional
will be able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance listening capabilities.
PhoneNow
The PhoneNow function, allows your hearing instrument to automatically switch to your tele­phone programme when a telephone receiver is raised to the ear. When the telephone receiver is removed from the
ear, the hearing instrument automatically returns to the previous listening programme.
1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.
2. Hold the telephone vertically, in a position similar to when making a
telephone call.
3. Place the magnets just below the telephone receiver. Make sure not
to cover the microphone openings. If necessary, move the magnet to
another position to improve ease of use and comfort while speaking.
4. If you are not satisfied with the strength of PhoneNow, you can
reposition the PhoneNow magnet or add additional PhoneNow magnets.
PhoneNow usage
Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A short melody will indicate that the PhoneNow feature has
automatically switched the hearing instrument to your telephone programme. Initially, you may need to
move the telephone receiver slightly to find the best position for reliable PhoneNow activation and good
hearing on the telephone.
If you have two hearing instruments with the synchronization function enabled, the volume of hearing instrument on the non-phone ear will be turned down.
Only use recommended cleaning agent to clean the telephone prior to placing the magnet on the
phone in order to obtain best possible adherence.
Placement of PhoneNow magnets
Place PhoneNow magnet on your telephone receiver to allow operation of the PhoneNow function. In order
to place PhoneNow magnet properly:
20
21
i
PhoneNow precautions
1. Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and mentally challenged persons. If a magnet is swallowed,
please seek advice from a medical practitioner.
2. The magnet may affect some medical devices or electronic systems. The manufacturer of any
magnetically sensitive devices (e.g. pacemakers) should advise you regarding appropriate safety
precautions when using your hearing instrument and magnet in close proximity to the medical device
or electronic system in question.If the manufacturer cannot issue a statement, we recommend keeping
the magnet or a telephone equipped with the magnet 30 cm (12”) away from magnetically sensitive
devices (e.g. pacemakers).
3. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal position relative
to the telephone receiver. To avoid the issue, please move the magnet to another place on the telephone
receiver.
4. Only use magnets supplied by Interton.
Telecoil (optional)
If equipped, a telecoil can be activated by your hearing care professional and accessed through one of
the additional programmes. A telecoil picks up a telephone’s magnetic signal and converts it to sound. An
optional telephone programme may help to improve speech understanding on the telephone. When using
a telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone may need to be held closer to the hearing instrument.
The handset of the telephone may need to be moved to slightly different positions in order to find the best
reception.
22
Tele-loop systems
Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are equipped with tele-loop systems. When
using a telecoil programme with tele-loop systems, sound is picked up directly and may improve speech
understanding. If there is no sound from the hearing instruments in a tele-loop system and with a telecoil
programme activated, the tele-loop system may not be turned on or is not operating correctly. If a facility is
not equipped with a tele-loop system, sitting as close as possible to the front may be helpful.
Direct audio input (optional)
Use of direct audio input (DAI), which enables a direct connection of the hearing instruments to items such
as television, radio, and remote microphones, may increase speech understanding for some individuals.
The sound source is connected to the hearing instruments by a cable or a wireless FM system to the audio
boot. This accessory connects to the bottom of the hearing instruments, and once properly clicked into
place, the hearing instruments switch to DAI automatically.
Connecting/Disconnecting audio boots
Connecting audio boots
1. Align the tip of the audio boot with the groove just above the battery
compartment and below the model number.
23
2. Once in place, move the boot in the direction of the
battery compartment.
3. Gently click the audio boot onto the hearing
instrument.
Disconnecting audio boots
4. Press and hold the button on the front side of the
audio boot.
5. Gently remove the audio boot from the hearing
instrument.
i Care and maintenance
3. Avoid rough handling of hearing instruments or dropping them on hard surfaces or floors.
4. Do not leave hearing instruments in or near direct heat or sunlight, such as in a hot, parked car, as
excessive heat can cause damage or deform the casing.
5. Do not wear your instrument while showering, swimming, in heavy rain or in a moist atmosphere such
as a steam bath or sauna.
6. If your instrument does get wet, or if it has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, it should be
left to dry out overnight with the battery out and the battery compartment open. It is also a good idea to
put the instrument and battery in a sealed container together with a drying agent (desiccator) overnight.
Do not use the instrument until it is completely dry. Consult your hearing care professional as to which
drying agent to use.
7. Remove your hearing instrument when applying such things as cosmetics, perfume, aftershave, hair
spray, and suntan lotion. These might get into the instrument and cause damage.
i Daily maintenance
It is important to keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. On a daily basis,
clean the hearing instruments using a soft cloth or tissue.
Your hearing instrument is protected by a layer of protective, hydrophobic nanocoat material.
Please follow the following instructions to prolong the durability of your hearing instruments:
1.
Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove
grease or moisture. Do not use water or solvents, as these can damage the hearing instrument(s).
2. Never immerse hearing instruments in water or other liquids, as liquids may cause permanent damage
to the hearing instruments.
24
25
The receiver tube
The receiver tube contains the wiring to the receiver which delivers the sound to the ear canal. It is important
that the receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE mold fits correctly in your ear. If the receiver tube or the
receiver dome/RIE mould irritates your ear in any way and prevents you from wearing your hear­ing instrument, please contact your hearing care pro­­fessional. You should never attempt to modify the shape of the
receiver tube yourself. The receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE mould should be cleaned regularly.
Please see instructions in the next section.
i Cleaning the receiver tubes and domes
The receiver tube and the receiver dome should be cleaned regularly. Use a damp cloth to clean the receiver tube and receiver dome on the outside. Do not use water when you are cleaning the receiver tubes
or the receiver domes. This process is also used to clean the UP receiver mould. Please see instruction on
page 30 or 31 for how to change the wax guard filter.
i Cleaning RIE or moulds
1. Separate the mould from the receiver tube.
2. Clean the RIE mould using a mild soap, and rinse with lukewarm water.
3. After cleaning, dry RIE moulds thoroughly and remove any residual
water and debris from the tubing utilising an air bulb and wire loop.
26
Changing wax guard for receiver tube
10
For NP receivers:
1. Clean any debris from the old waxguard.
2. Insert the wand into the old waxguard.
3. Twist the wand with the waxguard in a clockwise direction to ensure it is attached to the wand.
4. Pull the wand and waxguard away from the tube/mould.
5. Insert the old waxguard into the center of the HF3 wheel.
6. Dispose of the old waxguard by drawing the wand to the narrow end of the center disposal area.
7. Insert the empty wand into a new waxguard on the HF3 wheel.
8. Pull the new waxguard attached to the wand away from the HF3 wheel.
9. Insert the wand into the receiver tube/mould.
10. Twist the wand to release the new waxguard onto the receiver tube/mould.
For S and HP2 receivers:
1. To remove the old wax guard, insert the removal side of the wax guard tool into the used wax guard
so that the shaft of the tool is touching the rim of the wax guard. Slowly pull the wax guard straight
out.
2. To insert the ne w wax guard, gently press the replacement side of the wax guard tool straight into
the hole of the sound outlet until the outer ring lies flush with the outside of the receiver. Pull the tool
straight out -the new wax guard will remain in place.
27
How to apply domes
It is recommended that your hearing care professional change domes, as incorrect dome replacement
could result in injury.
Interton tulip domes
Tulip domes are mounted in a similar manner to standard domes, but a few extra steps are required. Tulip
domes consist of two “petals”. It is important to note that the largest petal is the outermost petal. To ensure
this:
Interton standard domes
1. Push the new dome over the receiver.
2. Make sure that the new dome is properly and securely mounted.
1. Push the largest petal away from the receiver tube using a finger. This bends the petal forward.
2. Then push the largest “petal” back, and it will be placed on top of the smaller petal.
Using Interton hearing instruments with smart phone apps
Intended use of smart phone apps:
GN Interton smart phone apps are intended to be used with GN Interton wireless hearing aids. GN ReSound smart phone apps send and receive signals from the GN Interton wireless hearing aids via smart
phones for which the apps have been developed.
Use with smart phone apps:
• Notifications of app updates should not be disabled, and it is recommended that the user installs all
updates to ensure that the app will function correctly and will be kept up to date.
• The app must only be used with GNR devices for which it is intended, and GNR take no responsibility if
the app is used with other devices.

9.
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing instrument(s) who’s maximum sound
pressure level exceeds 132 dB SPL (with an IEC 60711:1981 occluded ear simulator), because there
may be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user
Do not leave hearing instruments in the sun, near an open fire, or in a hot, parked car.
Do not wear hearing instruments while showering, swimming, in heavy rain, or in a moist atmosphere
such as a steam bath or sauna.
Should the hearing instrument become moist, remove the battery and place the hearing instrument in
a closed container with a drying agent. Your hearing care professional can provide options for drying
containers or kits.
Remove the hearing instruments when applying items such as cosmetics, perfume, after-shave, hair
spray, and suntan lotion.
When wireless function is activated, the device uses low-powered digitally coded transmissions in
order to communicate with other wireless devices. Although unlikely, nearby electronic devices may be
affected. In that case, move the hearing instrument away from the affected electronic device.
When using wireless functionality and the devices are affected by electromagnetic interference, move
away from the source.

Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, ear-moulds, or tubing yourself.
Do only connect Interton hearing instruments to Interton accessories intended and qualified to be
used with Interton hearing instruments.
i General warnings
1.
30
Consult a hearing care professional if you discover a foreign object in your ear canal, if you experience
skin irritation, or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument.
2. Different types of radiation, from e.g. NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing instruments. It
is recommended not to wear hearing instruments during these or other similar procedures. Other types
of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile telephones,
contain less energy and will not damage hearing instruments. However, they have the potential to
momentarily affect the sound quality or temporarily create strange sounds from hearing instruments.
3. Do not wear hearing instruments in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those areas are
certified for hearing instrument use.
4. Do not allow others to use your hearing instruments. This may cause damage to the hearing instruments
or to the hearing of the other individual.
5. Instrument usage by children or mentally challenged persons should be supervised at all times to
ensure their safety.The hearing instrument contains small parts that could be swallowed by children.
Please be mindful not to leave children unsupervised with this hearing instrument.
6. Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional. Incorrect
use may result in hearing loss.

Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module
Intended use for the TSG module
Your Interton hearing instruments may also include the Tinnitus Sound Generator function, a tool for
generating sounds to be used in tinnitus management programmes to relieve suffering from tinnitus.
i TSG warnings
• Sound generators can be dangerous if improperly used.
• Sound generators should be used only as advised by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing healthcare
professional.
• Sound generators are not toys and should be kept out of reach of anyone who might cause themselves
injury (especially children and pets).
User instructions for the TSG module
Description of the device
The Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) Module is a software tool that generates sounds to be used in tinnitus
management programmes to relieve suffering from tinnitus.
Explanation of how the device functions
The TSG module is a frequency and amplitude shaped white-noise generator. Noise signal level and frequency characteristics can be adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs as determined by your doctor,
audiologist or hearing healthcare professional.
Your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professional can modulate the generated noise with the purpose of making it more pleasant. The noise can then resemble, for example, crushing waves on a shore.
Modulation level and speed can also be configured to your likes and needs.
32
If your tinnitus troubles you only in quiet environments, your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professional can set the TSG Module so that it becomes audible exclusively in such surroundings. The overall
sound level can be adjusted via an optional volume control. Your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare
professional will review with you the need for having such a control.
TSG volume control
The sound generator is set to a specific loudness level by the hearing healthcare professional. When switching the sound generator on, the volume will have this optimal setting. Therefore, it might not be necessary
to control the volume (loudness) manually. However, the volume control provides the ability to adjust the
volume, or amount of stimulus, to the liking of the user.
Caution
• The volume control is an optional feature in the TSG module used for adjusting the sound generator
output level. To prevent unintended usage by pediatric or physically or mentally challenged users, the
volume control must, if enabled, be configured to only provide a decrease of the sound generator output
level.
i TSG precautions
• Should the user develop any side effects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea,
headaches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, the user should
discontinue use of the sound generator and seek medical evaluation.
• Children and physically or mentally challenged users will require guardian supervision while wearing the
TSG hearing instrument.
33
The scientific concepts that form the basis for the device
Prescription use of this TSG hearing instrument
The TSG Module provides sound enrichment with the aim of surrounding the tinnitus sound with a neutral
sound which is easily ignored. Sound enrichment is an important component of most approaches to tinnitus management, such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). To assist habituation to tinnitus, this needs
to be audible. The ideal level of the TSG module, therefore, should be set so that it starts to blend with the
tinnitus, and so that you can hear both your tinnitus as well as the sound used.
The TSG module should be used as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professional. In order to avoid permanent hearing damages, the maximum daily usage depends on the level of
the generated sound.
In a majority of instances, the TSG module can also be set to mask the tinnitus sound, so to provide temporary relief by introducing a more pleasant and controllable sound source.

Should you develop any side effects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, you should discontinue
use of sound generator and seek medical evaluation.
The target population is primarily the adult population over 18 years of age. This product may also be used
with children 5 years of age or older. However, children and physically or mentally challenged users will require training by a doctor, audiologist, hearing healthcare professional or the guardian for the insertion and
removal of the hearing instrument containing the TSG module.
Important notice for prospective sound generator users
A tinnitus masker is an electronic device intended to generate noise of sufficient intensity and bandwidth to
mask internal noises. It is also used as an aid in hearing external noises and speech.
Good health practice requires that a person with a tinnitus condition have a medical evaluation by a licensed
physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before using a sound generator.
Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists.
The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect tinnitus
are identified and treated before the sound generator instrument is used. The sound generator instrument is
The white noise signal can be modulated in amplitude with an attenuation depth of up to 14dB.

a tool to generate sounds to be used with appropriate counselling and/or in a tinnitus management program
to relieve patients suffering from tinnitus.
i TSG warning to hearing healthcare professionals
A hearing healthcare professional should advise a prospective sound generator user to consult promptly
with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before getting a sound generator if the hearing
healthcare professional determines through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available
information concerning the prospective user that the prospective user has any of the following conditions:
(i) Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
(ii) History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
(IIi) History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days.
(iv) Acute or chronic dizziness.
(v) Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days.
(vi) Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15dB at 500 hertz (Hz), 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz.
(vii) Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
(viii) Pain or discomfort in the ear.
CAUTION: The maximum output of the sound generator falls into the range that can cause hearing
loss according to OSHA regulations. The user should not use the sound generator for more than eight (8)
hours a day when this is set below 90dB SPL. Above that level, the device should not be used for more than
two (2) hours per day. In no case should the sound generator be worn at uncomfortable levels.
36
i Battery warning information
Batteries, although very small, contain dangerous substances, and should be disposed of carefully. This is
for the safety of you and the environment. Please note:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not specifically designated as rechargeable
because they may leak or explode.
DO NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. Used batteries are harmful to the environment.
Please dispose of them according to local regulations or return them to your hearing care practitioner.
DO NOT place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been swallowed,
as they can be harmful to your health.
Keep batteries away from pets, children and mentallly challenged persons.
Remove the batteries to prevent leakage when the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended
period of time.
i Hearing instrument expectations
A hearing instrument will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. Consistent use of the hearing instrument is recommended. In most cases,
infrequent use does not permit you to attain full benefit from it.
The use of a hearing instrument is only part of hearing rehabilitation and may need to be supplemented by
auditory training and instructions in lip-reading.
37
i Warning to hearing aid dispensers (US Only)
A hearing aid dispenser should advise a prospective hearing aid user to consult promptly with a licensed
physician (preferably an ear specialist) before dispensing a hearing aid if the hearing aid dispenser determines through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information concerning the
prospective user, that the prospective user has any of the following conditions:
(i) Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
(ii) History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
(iii) History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days.
(iv) Acute or chronic dizziness.
(v) Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days.
(vi)	Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz),
1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz.
(vii) Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
(viii) Pain or discomfort in the ear.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written statement that states that your hearing loss has been medically evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The
physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation. The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability
to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser
to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs. If you have reservations about your ability to adapt
to amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option program. Many
hearing aid dispensers now offer programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a
nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to those individuals who have obtained a medical evaluation
from a licensed physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the
medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The exercise
of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its use is strongly discouraged.
Children with hearing loss (US Only)
Important notice for prospective hearing aid users (US Only)
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed
physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid.
Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable
conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.
38
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be directed to
an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause problems in language development and the educational and social growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience
to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
