4Warnings 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 your hearing healthcare professional and contact your physician.
5 In the unlikely case that any parts remain in the ear canal after 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.
6 The magnet may affect 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 benefit. Once you have become accustomed to your hearing aids, wear your hearing aids everyday all day. Your hearing aids use the most modern components to provide the best possible sound quality in every listening situation.
7However, 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 different direction or locate the cell phone and move away from it.LabelingThe serial number and year of manufacture are located inside the battery door.
8Putting your hearing aids in your earsYour hearing aids may be color-coded either on the shell or on a label on the hearing aid: red = right ear; blue = left ear. Inserting your hearing aid1. Hold the hearing aid between your thumb and index finger with the battery door facing away from your ear. 2. If your hearing aid is a CIC or IIC, insert by holding the hearing aid with the removal handle at the bottom.3. Gently insert the canal portion of the hearing aid into your ear using your index finger to push back and tuck the hearing aid completely into place. It should fit snugly and comfortably. Gently pull down and back on your earlobe to help you insert the hearing aid into your ear canal more easily.1.2.3.
9Removing your hearing aid 1. If your hearing aid is a CIC or IIC, gently pull on the removal handle. To remove an ITE hearing aid, grasp it with your thumb and index finger.2. Move your jaw up and down or apply pressure to the back of your ear to help loosen the hearing aid. Note: Do not use the controls or the battery door to remove your hearing aids.1.2.
10Turning your hearing aids on and off The battery door acts as an on and off switch.1. On: Close the battery door fully. Note: It may take five seconds before the hearing aid turns on. Your hearing healthcare provider can increase the start up delay if required.2. Off: Open the battery door to turn off the hearing aid and change the battery.1.2.
11Battery informationLow battery warningTwo long beeps indicate the hearing aid battery is low. After the low battery warning, sounds may not be as clear. This is normal and can be fixed 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 off 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.
12Replacing the battery 1. Gently swing out the battery door with your fingernail. 2. Grasp the battery with your thumb and index finger and remove.3. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment with the plus (+) sign on the battery facing the same way as the plus (+) sign on the side of 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.Plus (+) signsPlus (+) signs
13Caring for batteries• Always discard batteries in a safe and environmentally friendly way.• To prolong battery life, remember to turn your hearing aids off 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.
14Tinnitus 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 fitted by a hearing healthcare professional familiar with the diagnosis and management of tinnitus.
15 Should you develop any side effects 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.
16Important 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 identified 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.

27Protecting your hearing aids• Open the battery door when not in use.• Always remove your hearing aids when using hair care products. The hearing aids can become clogged and cease to function properly.• Do not wear your hearing aids in the bath or shower or immerse them in water. • If your hearing aids do become wet, do not attempt to dry them in an oven or microwave. Do not adjust any controls. Open the battery doors immediately, and allow your hearing aids to dry naturally for 24 hours.• Protect your hearing aids from excessive heat (hair dryer, vehicle glove box or dashboard).• Regular use of a dehumidifier, such as a Dri-Aid kit, can help prevent corrosion and prolong the life of your hearing aids. • Do not drop your hearing aids or knock them against hard surfaces.
28Cleaning your hearing aidsUse a soft cloth to clean your hearing aid at the end of each day, and place it in its case with the battery door open to allow moisture to evaporate. Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important step in your daily cleaning and maintenance routine. Using the brush that was provided with your hearing aids, clean ear wax from your hearing aids everyday. Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids. Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax. Sticking household items into your hearing aids can seriously damage them. Talk to your hearing healthcare professional about regular appointments to have the wax removed from your hearing aids.

37Warning to hearing aid dispensers (to comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations) 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 signicant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal. (viii) Pain or discomfort in the ear. Special care should be exercised in selecting and tting a hearing aid whose maximum sound pressure level exceeds 132 decibels because there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing aid user. [This provision is required only for those hearing aids with a maximum sound pressure capability greater than 132 decibels (dB).]Important notice for prospective hearing aid users 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
38purchasing a hearing aid.Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are oen referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may aect hearing are identied and treated before the hearing aid is purchased. 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 t a hearing aid to your individual needs. If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplication, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option program. Many hearing aid dispensers now oer programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee aer 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 In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist
39for 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.Cell phoneSome 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 2 (M2) and a telephone rating of 3 (M3) would result in a combined rating of 5. 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 M2/T2. The equipment performance measurements, categories and system classifications are based upon the best information available but cannot guarantee that all users will be satisfied. 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 phones.”
