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 your
hearing healthcare professional and contact
your physician.

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.
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.
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.
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
10 11
head in a different direction or locate the cell
phone and move away from it.
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.
Note to hearing healthcare professional
Domes should never be fitted on patients
with perforated eardrums, exposed middle
ear cavities, or surgically altered ear canals. In
the case of such a condition, we recommend
to use a customized earmold.
Labeling
The serial number and year of manufacture are
located inside the battery door.
Putting your hearing aids on your ears
Your hearing aids may be color-coded with an
indicator on the battery door: red = right ear;
blue = left ear.
Hearing aids with domes
1. Hold the wire where it
attaches to the dome and
gently push the dome into
your ear canal.
2. Place the hearing aid
over the top of your ear.
The wire should lie flush
against your head and not
stick out.
3. If there is a retention piece,
place it in your ear so it
rests at the bottom of the
opening of your ear canal.

Hearing aids with custom shells
1. Hold the custom shell
between your thumb and
index finger. The opening
should be pointing in
towards your ear canal
with the hearing aid resting
above your ear.
2. Carefully insert the custom
shell into your ear. The
shell should fit into your ear
snugly and comfortably.
3. Place the hearing aid over
the top of your ear.
Turning 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
professional can increase the
start up delay if required.
2. Off: Open the battery door.
Note: When turning your hearing
aid on and off while it is on the
ear, grasp the top and bottom of
the device with your index finger
and thumb. Use your thumb to

Battery information
Low battery warning
Two 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.
Replacing the battery
1. Gently swing out the battery
door with your fingernail.
2. Push the battery with your
thumb and index finger towards
the open side, and remove or
pull the battery straight out,
depending on your style of
hearing aid.
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.
Note: There is a tamper-proof battery door
option for Vista N R 13 hearing aids. Please see
your hearing healthcare professional for further
information.

Caring 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.
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 fitted by a hearing
healthcare professional familiar with the
diagnosis and management of tinnitus.
18 19
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.
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 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.

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 telephone
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 telephone 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 telephone program when a receiver
is held to your ear, you may need to attach an
easy telephone magnet to your telephone. The
magnet is designed to strengthen the magnetic
field at the earpiece of the telephone.
To attach the optional magnet:
1. Clean the telephone receiver.
Hold the magnet near
the “listening end” of your
telephone receiver and release
it. The magnet will flip to the
appropriate side and seek
the optimal position on the
telephone receiver.
2. Place the double-sided tape
in this optimal position on the
telephone receiver.

guide for more information.
Protecting 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).
• Ensure you do not twist or squeeze the wire
when your hearing aids are placed in their case.
• 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.
32 33
Cleaning your hearing aids
Use 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.
Regular cleaning of the microphone ports with
the supplied cleaning brush will ensure that
your hearing instrument will maintain its sound
quality. Your hearing healthcare professional can
demonstrate this for you.
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.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids,
earmolds or domes.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
or earmolds can seriously damage them.
Cleaning your custom shells and domes
Clean the domes and shells on the
outside daily with a damp cloth. Avoid
getting any water in and around the
speaker units (microphone shields)
and custom shells.
Note: The wires, speakers, domes or custom
shells should never be rinsed or submerged
in water as water drops may block sound or
damage the electrical components of the hearing
aids.
Domes should be replaced by your hearing
healthcare professional every 3-6 months or
when they become stiff, brittle, or discolored.
If your shells require further cleaning, the speaker
waxguard may be plugged and require replacing.
See your hearing healthcare professional.

Warning 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 significant 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 fitting 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 purchasing
a hearing aid.
42 43
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. 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
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.
Cell phone
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 C63.19-2011 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.”
