NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is
provided describing the various ear-set solutions available for
your hearing aid: “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing aids”.
WARNING
This booklet and the manual “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing
aids” contain important information and instructions. Read
these booklets carefully before you start using the hearing aid.
NOTE
Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly
as illustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make
any changes considered necessary.
8
Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction
amplification devices to be used in everyday listening
environments. The hearing aids may be provided with
the Zen program intended to provide a relaxing sound
background (i.e. music/noise source) for adults who
desire to listen to such a background in quiet.
Indications for use
The devices are indicated for individuals with a range of
hearing loss severity from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe
(90 dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing
healthcare professionals (audiologists, hearing aid spe-
cialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing
(re)habilitation.
Description of device
Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists
of a tube and an ear-tip or earmould. The hearing aid
uses a proprietary wireless technology, WidexLink, to
enable communication between the left and the right
hearing aids, as well as between the hearing aids and
the DEX accessories.
Your hearing aid may be provided with a listening
program called Zen. It makes musical tones (and some-
times a rushing noise) in the background. These sounds
are shaped according to your hearing loss.
9
Acoustic indicators
The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to
indicate the use of certain functions. The signal may
be a spoken message or tones. The signal can also be
deactivated.

The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 battery
for the hearing aid.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note
of the expiry date and the recommendations on the
battery pack regarding disposal of used batteries.
Otherwise there is a risk that the battery life may be
reduced.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery into the
hearing aid, remember to remove the adhe-
sive tab. Once the tab has been removed,
the battery will start functioning after a few
seconds.
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or
other unwanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid to
malfunction.
Use the nail grip to gently swing the
battery drawer open.
11
Place the battery in the drawer, so that the plus (+) sign
on the battery faces upward. You can use the battery
magnet provided to steer the battery into place.
If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery
is incorrectly inserted.
When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the
hearing aid over a table.
The hearing aid may be provided with a special battery
drawer, helping to secure the battery in the drawer. This
type of drawer can be a good choice if the hearing aid
is worn by a child.
+
12
Low battery indication
An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-
bled (see page 9). We recommend that you always
have a spare battery with you.
WARNING
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhausted
batteries may leak, damaging the hearing aid.
WARNING
Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the
battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in
particular when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent
on warning signals.
13
Turning the hearing aid on and off
The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions as
the on/off switch.
Push the switch upwards to turn on the
hearing aid. An acoustic indicator will
indicate that the hearing aid has been
switched on unless this function has been
disabled.
Push the switch downwards to turn off
the hearing aid.
The word “OFF” is clearly visible on the
switch when the hearing aid is turned off.
Please remember to turn off the hearing aid when it is
not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will not
be used for several days.
14
Right/left identification
If you wear hearing aids on both
ears, the hearing aids can be pro-
vided with coloured marks (red mark
= right and blue mark = left).
The arrow shows the position of the
identification mark.
15
Positioning the hearing aid
Insert the earpiece in the ear canal while holding the
lower part of the tube. It may help to pull the outer ear
backwards and upwards with the opposite hand.
Place the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the hearing
aid and tube rest comfortably on the ear, close to your
head.
The illustrations show an open ear-tip. For further infor-
mation on ear-tip/earmould types, anchors and proce-
dures, see the separate ear-set user manual provided.
16
Removing the hearing aid
Remove the hearing aid from its position behind the
ear.
Carefully pull the earpiece out of the ear canal, while
holding the lower part of the tube. If the earpiece is
provided with an extraction cord, take hold of this and
carefully pull the ear-tip out of the ear canal.
17
Volume adjustment
The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in
accordance with your sound environment.
Your hearing aid may furthermore
be provided with a volume control,
shaped like a small lever.
Push the lever upward to gradually
raise the volume.
Push the lever downwards to gradually
lower the volume.
Depending on hearing aid model and setting, any
change you make will affect both hearing aids. On page
3, you can see whether simultaneous volume control
may be available in your hearing aids.
To alter the increments in which the volume is increased
or decreased, consult your hearing care professional.
Each time you operate the volume control, you will hear
a beep-tone unless this function has been disabled.
When the maximum or minimum adjustment level is
reached, a steady tone will sound.
18
CAUTION
If the volume in the hearing aid is generally too loud or too weak,
or the reproduced sounds are distorted, or if you would like any
further information, consult your hearing care professional.
To turn off the sound completely
• Keep pressing the volume control lever downwards
after the steady tone has sounded
To turn the sound on again
• Press the lever upwards or
• Change listening program
Any adjustment of the volume setting will be cancelled
when your hearing aid is turned off, or when you change
program.
NOTE: Your hearing aid has been set to gradually
increase the amplification provided to allow you to
acclimatize yourself to the sound through the hearing
aid. Therefore you may notice an increase in level after
a period of time.
If you wish to have the volume control disabled, please
consult your hearing care professional.
19
Lost partner alarm
(Note: Only applicable if this feature is available and
has been activated by your hearing care professional.)
If one of your hearing aids falls off your ear, and/or the
battery is exhausted, a tone signal and a spoken mes-
sage will sound two times in the other hearing aid.
Listening programs
Your hearing aid may be provided with several of the
following programs, plus the special Zen program
called Zen+. In some models, the Phone+ program can
be made available instead of Zen+.
Master Standard
Music For listening to music
TV For listening to the TV
Comfort Attenuates background noise
Reverse focus* Focus on sounds from behind
Phone For listening to the telephone
TIn this program you listen via the tele-
coil (T) and not via the hearing aid
microphones (M). The telecoil is used
where a loop system is installed. If you
activate the telecoil program, you listen
to a specific sound source and shut out
surrounding sounds.
20
M+T In this program you listen via the hear-
ing aid microphones (M) and the tele-
coil (T).
Zen Generates different kinds of tones or
noise.
Compound programs
The Master program in one ear and
Zen, Reverse focus*, T, MT or Phone in
the other.
Zen+ Special Zen program with up to three
different Zen styles
Phone+* For phone use only. Transmits the tele-
phone sound received in one hearing
aid to the other hearing aid. Note that
the microphones on the hearing aid to
which the sound is transmitted are
turned off.
* only in some models
Your hearing aid has a function called the Audibility
Extender. This feature makes high frequency sounds
audible, and can be set to operate for one specific
program or for all available programs.
If your needs change over time, the combination of
listening programs can be altered.
21
CAUTION
When selecting Phone+ as listening program, please remember
that there are situations in which it is particularly important to
be able to hear the surrounding sounds.
Zen program
Your hearing aid may be provided with a unique optional
listening program called Zen. It makes musical tones
(and sometimes a rushing noise) in the background. The
Zen program may be used alone (without amplification)
in quiet when you are not required to hear surrounding
sounds. Or, it may be used with the Master program so
both the surrounding sounds and the generated sounds
(fractal tones and noise) are heard together.
CAUTION
Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with hearing
surrounding sounds including speech. The programs should
not be used when hearing such sounds is important. Switch the
hearing aid to a non-Zen program in those situations.
CAUTION
If you perceive decrease in loudness, tolerance of sounds,
speech not as clear, or worsening tinnitus, contact your hearing
care professional.
22
The duration of the Zen play time can be set by your
hearing care professional according to your needs.
Benefits
The Zen program may provide a relaxing listening
background for some people. When the Zen program
is used in a tinnitus management program, its wearer
may experience some relief from tinnitus.
Indications for use
The Zen program is intended to provide a relaxing
sound background (i.e., music/noise source) for adults
who desire to listen to such a background in quiet.
It may be used as a sound therapy tool in a tinnitus
treatment program that is prescribed by a hearing care
professional (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, oto-
laryngologists) who is trained in tinnitus management.
Directions for use
Because of the unique ways in which Zen is programmed
in your hearing aid, please follow the recommendations
of your hearing care professionals as to how to use the
program, when to use the program and/or how long to
use the program.
23
Switching between the listening
programs
To change programs, press the
program button briefly. Each time
you switch to another program, an
acoustic indicator will sound unless
this function has been disabled.
Program 1: Message or one short beep
Program 2: Message or two short beeps
Program 3: Message or three short beeps
Program 4: Message or one long and one short beep
Program 5: Message or one long and two short beeps
Zen+: Message or tone or
Phone+: Message or tone
Depending on hearing aid model and setting, any
change you make will affect both hearing aids. On page
3, you can see whether simultaneous program shift
may be available in your hearing aids.
24

CARING FOR YOUR HEARING AID
The hearing aid is a valuable object and should be
treated with care. Here are some things you can do to
prolong the life of your hearing aid:
CAUTION
• Turn off your hearing aid when it is not in use. Remove the
battery if the hearing aid will not be used for several days.
• When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it in its case in a cool,
dry location out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not expose the hearing aid to extreme temperatures or
high humidity. Make sure to dry the hearing aid thoroughly
after heavy perspiration such as that which may occur during
intense physical activity, e.g. playing sports.
• Avoid dropping your hearing aid – perform cleaning and
battery changes while holding the hearing aid above a soft
surface.
• Do not wear your hearing aid while in the shower or swim-
ming, or when using a hair dryer, perfume, hair and body
sprays or gels such as suntanning lotions or creams.
• In environments with high humidity, a drying kit may be used
daily to reduce the amount of moisture inside the hearing aid.
See the instructions enclosed with the drying kit.
34
WARNINGS
WARNING
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swal lowed or
used improperly. Swallowing or improper use can result in
severe injury or even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a
physician immediately.
• Keep hearing aids and their parts, accessories and batteries
out of reach of children and anyone else who might swallow
such items or otherwise cause injury to themselves. Do not
change batteries in front of them and do not let them see
where you keep your battery supply. Discard used batteries
carefully.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken for pills or
the like. Never put a battery or hearing aid in your mouth for
any reason as you may risk swallowing it.
35
WARNING
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type
or recharged. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this could
cause permanent damage to their hear ing.
• When selecting a listening program, please remember that
there are situations in which it is particularly important to
be able to hear the surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic, warning
signals).
• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic materials.
Nonetheless, in rare cases skin irritation may occur. If you
notice skin irritation in or around your ear or ear canal, contact
your hearing care professional.
36
WARNING
• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid may involve
a slightly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infec-
tion can arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear.
We therefore recommend that you remove the hearing aid
and ear-set from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be
ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect your hearing
aid and ear-set as required. If an infection occurs, you should
seek medical attention and contact your hearing care profes-
sional for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid
parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine
or similar substances.
• Do not use Widex hearing aids in mines or other areas with
explosive gases.
• Do not wear your hearing aid during radiation, X-rays,
MRIs, CT or other medical treatments and scans. The emis-
sions from these procedures as well as from other types of
radiation, such as that in a microwave oven, can damage your
hearing aid. Radiation from, for example, room surveillance
equipment, burglar alarms and mobile phones is weaker
and will not damage the hearing aid, but may create audible
interference.
37
CAUTION
• Your hearing aid has been tested for interference according
to international standards. Nevertheless, it is possible that
unforeseen interference may occur in the hearing aid due to
electromagnetic radiation from other products such as alarm
systems, room surveillance equipment and mobile phones.
• Although your hearing aid has been designed to comply with
the most stringent international electromagnetic compatibil-
ity standards, the possibility cannot be excluded that it may
cause interference with other equipment, such as medical
devices.
• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself.
38
ADVICE
NOTE
• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing loss resulting from organic
conditions. However, the hearing aid can help you to make
the best possible use of your remaining hearing ability. You
should also bear in mind that it can take time to get used to a
new hearing aid and new sounds.
• In most cases, using the hearing aid infrequently will not
permit you to gain full benefit from it.
• The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation
and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and
instruction in lipreading.
• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumulation of
earwax. Contact your physician/ENT doctor if you suspect
that a plug of earwax has accumulated in your ear. Earwax
may not only reduce your own hearing but also the effect
of the hearing aid considerably. It is a good idea to ask your
physician to clean your ears a couple of times a year.
