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.
Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplifi-
cation devices to be used in everyday listening environ-
ments. The hearing aids may be provided with the Zen
program intended to provide a relaxing sound back-
ground (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 se-
vere-to-profound (100 dB HL) and all hearing loss con-
figurations.
6
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care
professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, oto-
laryngologists) who are trained in hearing (re)habilita-
tion.
Description of device
Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists
of a tube and earmould. The hearing aid uses a propri-
etary wireless technology, WidexLink, to enable com-
munication between the left and the right hearing aids,
as well as between the hearing aids and the DEX ac-
cessories.
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.
WARNING
This hearing aid is capable of producing a sound pressure
level exceeding 132 dB SPL. There may be a risk of damaging
your residual hearing.
7
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.
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.
9
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.
10
Battery drawer without a nail grip
The hearing aid may be provided with
a battery drawer without a nail grip,
which means that you need a tool to
open the battery drawer. This type
of drawer can be a good choice if the
hearing aid is worn by a child. A special
tool for opening the drawer will be
included with this drawer.
The battery drawer is opened as illus-
trated
11
Low battery indication
An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-
bled (see page 7). 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.
12
Turning the hearing aid on and off
The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions as
the on/off switch.
Close the battery drawer 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.
To turn off the hearing aid, open the bat-
tery drawer slightly to the first position
where a click is felt.
Note: Another way to verify that the hearing aid is
turned on is to cup it in your hand. If it is on, it will whis-
tle.
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.
13
Right/left identification
If you wear hearing aids on both ears,
the hearing aids can be provided with
coloured marks (red mark = right and
blue mark = left).
The arrow shows the position of the
identification mark.
14
Positioning the hearing aid
Insert the earmould 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 earmould. For further infor-
mation on earmould types and procedures, see the
separate ear-set user manual provided.
15
If the ear-set does not fit or sit properly, causing dis-
comfort, irritation, redness or the like, contact your
hearing care professional.
Removing the hearing aid
Remove the hearing aid from its position behind the
ear.
Carefully pull the earmould out of the ear canal, while
holding the lower part of the tube.
16
Volume adjustment
The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in
accordance with your sound environment.
Furthermore, your hearing aid is
provided with a volume control.
Push the upper part of the volume
control to gradually raise the vol-
ume.
Push the lower part to gradually
lower the volume.
Depending on hearing aid features and setting, any
change you make will affect both 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.
+

17
WARNING
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 profes-
sional.
To turn off the sound completely
Keep pressing the lower part of the volume control
until the steady tone has sounded
To turn the sound on again
Press the upper part of the volume control 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 can be set to gradually increase
the amplification provided to allow you to acclimatize
yourself to the sound through the hearing aid. There-
fore you may notice an increase in level after a period
of time.
18
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, and
a diode (LED) will flash on both hearing aids.
When the lost hearing aid is repositioned, and/or the
battery is exchanged, the diodes stop flashing.
Programs
Your hearing aid may be provided with several of the
following programs, plus the special Zen program
called Zen+. In some DREAM hearing aids, 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 telecoil (T) and
not via the hearing aid microphones (M). The tel-
ecoil 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.
19
M+T In this program you listen via the hearing aid
microphones (M) and the telecoil (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 telephone
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 DREAM hearing aids
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 or more or all
available programs.
If your needs change over time, the combination of
listening programs can be altered.
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.
20
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 amplification 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 a decrease in loudness, tolerance of sounds,
speech not as clear, or worsening tinnitus, contact your hearing
care professional.
21
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.
22
Switching between the listening
programs
To change programs, press the pro-
gram 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+ or Phone+: Message or tone
Depending on hearing aid features and setting, any
change you make will affect both hearing aids.
23
Zen+
This program is accessed via a long press (more than
1 second) on the program button on the hearing aid
or the RC-DEX. A short press then allows you to cycle
through the available Zen styles.
You can exit Zen+ by pressing and holding the program
button for more than 1 second.
Phone+
If your hearing aid is programmed with Phone+ instead
of Zen+, this program is accessed via a long press
(more than 1 second) on the program button on the
hearing aid. Please note that the program cannot be
accessed via the RC-DEX.
You can exit Phone+ by pressing and holding the same
program button for more than 1 second.
If you wish to have the program button disabled, please
consult your hearing care professional.
24
Using a telephone
When using a telephone, we recom-
mend that you hold the telephone
against your head at an angle
above your ear, rather than directly
against the ear. If the sound is not
optimal, try moving the telephone
earpiece to a slightly different posi-
tion.
25

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 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, and avoid let ting the hearing
aid come into contact with sticky or greasy substances, such
as hair spray or sunscreen.
31
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.
Clean and inspect your hearing aid after use to check that it is
intact. If the hearing aid or the ear-set breaks while in the ear
canal, contact your hearing care professional immediately. Do
not try to remove the parts yourself.
32
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.
33
WARNING
Please note that when using any type of hearing aid, you must
allow regular ventilation of the ear. If the ear is not adequately
ventilated, there may be a slightly increased risk of infection
or disease in the ear canal. We therefore recommend that you
remove the hearing aid and ear-set from your ear when you
go to bed, to allow the ear canal to be ventilated. If possible,
you should also remove your hearing aid and ear-set during
the day if there are any periods when you do not need them.
Make sure that you clean and inspect your hearing aid and
ear-set as required. If an ear infection or disease occurs, you
should seek medical attention and contact your hearing care
professional for advice on how to disinfect the various hear-
ing aid parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol,
chlorine or similar substances for this purpose.
Regular use of a de-humidifier is recommended to help avoid
malfunction of the hearing aid.
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 emissions
from these procedures as well as from other types of radiation,
such as that in a microwave oven, can damage your hearing
aid and the hearing aid can become very hot. 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.
34
WARNING
Interference with active Implants
In order to show caution, we advise to follow the guidelines
recommended by manufacturers of defibrillators and pace-
makers regarding use of mobile phones:
If you wear an active implantable device keep the Wireless
Hearing Aids and Hearing Aid Accessories such as wireless
remote controls or communicators at least 15 cm away from
the implant.
If you experience any interference, do not use the hearing aids
and contact the manufacturer of the implant. Please note that
interference can also be caused by power lines, electrostatic
discharge, airport metal detectors etc.
If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manu-
facturer of the implant for risk evaluation.
If you have an implantable device, we advise to keep magnets*
at least 15 cm away from the implant. (*= can be specified as
Autophone magnet, hearing instrument case, magnet in a tool,
etc.)
35
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 (To be
performed by authorised personnel only).
36
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.
37
Adapting to your hearing aids
Congratulations for taking the first steps toward re-
storing your communication skills with the purchase of
state-of-the-art hearing aids from Widex.
Because many of the sounds you may now hear have
not been fully audible without hearing aids, we urge
you to take a few minutes to perform the following sim-
ple activities in the order listed. Do these first in quiet
settings, then try them in noisier surroundings.
Activity 1: First, listen to a friend or relative speak to
you with your eyes closed and your hearing aids off.
Now, put your hearing aids on and continue to listen.
Notice the difference? The purpose of this activity is not
to hear every word, but just to recognize the difference
in amplified speech from a familiar source.
Activity 2: Listen to your friend or relative speak to you
with your hearing aids on, but with your eyes closed.
Now continue to listen with your eyes open. The goal is
to demonstrate how helpful it is to receive information
from your eyes to supplement your ears.
Activity 3: Purchase two copies of today’s newspaper.
Ask a friend or relative to read a story aloud while you
read along with the same story. Alternatively, read it
aloud and listen to your own voice. It is also helpful to
watch captioned TV.
38
We hear in our brain, not in our ears. It will take your
brain some time to fully adapt to the new sounds
you are hearing. It is not unusual, for example, to
hear certain sounds, such as your own footsteps, or
a newspaper rustling, or the refrigerator humming,
that people with normal hearing take for granted and
thus don’t consciously process. Be patient and allow
yourself a few weeks to adapt. Your brain will learn
to ignore them if they are not important. Of course,
if sounds are too loud or uncomfortable for you,
contact your hearing care professional.
Conversational speech has many redundant cues.
Worrying about a word you may have missed will
likely lead to additional missed words. Focus on
the essence of the conversation. It may help to ask
someone you are comfortable with to subtly alert you
about the overall topic when listening in groups.
Before going to a restaurant, call ahead and request
a seat away from the kitchen or bar area. Remember
that in noisy places, even normal hearing people may
struggle to hear.

munication hints please go to www.widex.com.
