General

The battery

We recommend Zinc Air batteries. Use a type 13 bat-tery for your 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 regarding disposal of used batteries on the battery pack. The bat-tery life will depend on a number of factors, such as the setting of your hearing aid, how many hours you use it daily and the listening environments in which you use it.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in the hearing aid, remember to remove the adhesive tab. Once the tab has been removed, the battery will start func-tioning after a few seconds. Do not use batteries on which there is a sticky residue from the tab or other unwanted substance.

1. Use the nail grip to swing open the battery drawer. 2. Place the battery so that the plus (+) sign of the

bat-tery faces upwards.

3. You can use the provided battery magnet to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery is incorrectly inserted.

(7)

General

Low battery indication

In the standard setting, the hearing aid will produce a spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted (see page 9). If a setting with tone indication has been chosen, four beep-tones will be produced. Once the battery is totally exhausted, the hearing aid will be completely silent. Exactly how long the hearing aid will function after the low battery indication varies from one case to another. We recommend that you always have a spare battery with you.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing aid. When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the hearing aid over a table.

Your hearing aid may be provided with a special bat-tery drawer, helping to secure the batbat-tery in the draw-er. This type of drawer can be a good choice if the hear-ing aid is worn by a child.

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer is placed at the bottom of the hear-ing aid. The battery drawer also functions as the on/off switch.

1. Push the switch upwards to turn the hearing aid on.

If you have just turned off the hearing aid, wait at least three seconds before turning it on again.

2. Push the switch downwards to turn the hearing aid

off.

3. The word “OFF” is clearly visible on the switch when

the hearing aid is turned off.

In the standard setting a spoken message will indicate that the hearing aid has been switched on (see page 9). Please remember to switch the hearing aid off when it is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will

General

Possible start-up settings

The hearing aid can be set to start up in two different ways. In the standard start-up setting, the hearing aid minimises whistling while it is being placed on the ear. The alternative is a setting where the hearing aid whis-tles slightly while you place it on the ear. Together with your hearing care professional you can choose the start-up setting that suits your needs best.

Automatic volume adjustment

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in ac-cordance with your sound environment.

Fine tuning volume

Your hearing aid may be provided with a volume con-trol, shaped like a small lever.

Push the lever upwards to gradual-ly raise the automaticalgradual-ly set vol-ume.

Push the lever downwards to grad-ually lower the volume.

Each time you operate the volume control, you will hear a beep-tone – unless you have chosen to have the tone indication deactivated (see page 9). When you raise the volume, you will hear a higher beep-tone for each step the volume is raised. When you lower the volume, you will hear a deeper beep-tone for each step the volume is lowered. When the maximum or mini-mum adjustment level is reached, a steady tone will sound.

Important

If the volume in your hearing aid is generally too loud or too weak, or the reproduced sounds are dis-torted, or you would like any further information, consult your hearing care professional.

(9)

General

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 or

• Turn the hearing aid off, wait 3 seconds and turn it on again.

Any adjustment of the volume setting will be cancelled when your hearing aid is turned off.

If you wish to have the volume control disabled, please consult your hearing care professional.

Listening programs

Depending on how your hearing care professional has programmed your hearing aid, you can have up to six listening programs intended for specific listening situa-tions.

At the back of this booklet your hearing care profes-sional can list the listening programs that are available in your hearing aid. If your needs change over time, the combination of listening programs can be changed. When selecting a listening program, please remember that there are situations where it is particularly impor-tant to be able to hear the surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic, warning signals).

Master: Standard program

Acclimatisation: Has the same features as the Master

program, but provides slightly less amplification.

Music: For listening to music. TV: For listening to the TV.

(10)

General

Audibility Extender: Makes high-frequency sounds

audible.

T: In this program you listen via the telecoil (T) and not

via the hearing aid microphone (M). The telecoil is used where a loop system is installed. If you activate the tele-coil program, you listen to a specific sound source and shut out surrounding sounds.

M + T: In this program you listen via the hearing aid

mi-crophone (M) and the telecoil (T).

Zen: Makes fractal tones. The tones are adjusted

ac-cording to your hearing loss.

The Zen program may be used with amplification so both the surrounding sounds and the fractal tones are heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without am-plification) in quiet when you are not required to hear surrounding sounds.

Up to two listening programs with one Zen style each can be programmed for Zen. Furthermore, a special Zen program can be made available. This is called Zen+ and can contain up to three Zen styles.

Important

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.

(11)

General

Switching between the listening programs

You can switch between the pro-grams by using the program but-ton on the back of the hearing aid. Each time you switch to another program, a click is produced unless this function has been disabled. In the standard setting, a spoken message will indicate your program choice (see page 9).

Zen+

If your hearing aid is provided with the Zen+ program, you access this program by pressing the program but-ton for more than one second. This function is called SmartToggle.

A short press of the program button in the Smart Toggle mode will allow you to cycle through the available Zen styles. You can exit SmartToggle by pressing and hold-ing the program button for more than a second.

If you have chosen the tone indication setting, the vari-ous sounds tell you which program you have chosen: • Program 1: One brief beep

• Program 2: Two brief beeps • Program 3: Three brief beeps

• Program 4: One long and one brief beep • Program 5: One long and two brief beeps • Zen+: Tone

If you wish to have the program button disabled, please consult your hearing care professional.

General

Remote control

- an alternative way of operating the hearing aid

A remote control is an accessory for the hearing aid. You can easily operate your hearing aid without a remote control, but it gives you a number of additional options. For help to determine whether you could benefit from a remote con-trol, please consult your hearing care professional.

Using a telephone

When listening on a telephone, we recommend that you hold the tele-phone against your head at an an-gle above your ear, and not directly against the ear. If the sound is not optimal, try to move the telephone loudspeaker to a slightly different position.

For further supplies of ear-sets or if the ear-tip size no longer fits your ear, contact your hearing care profes-sional.

Tubing and ear-tip size

The ear-set must be adjusted to fit your ear exactly. It is important to choose the correct tubing length and ear-tip size in order to ensure a good and comfortable fit. Furthermore, the anchor must be trimmed to fit your ear canal. Your hearing care professional will choose the correct ear-set size and help you trim the anchor. Also see the instructions on how to trim the anchor. At the back of this booklet your hearing care profes-sional can write down the sizes selected for you.

(23)

Trimming the anchor

The anchor should form an appropriately sized loop to ensure the comfortable retention of the ear-tip in the ear canal. There are several ways of doing this:

Example 1

1a. Pull the tip of the anchor through the small hole

on the side of the tubing.

1b. When the loop is the correct size, cut off any

ex-cess with scissors or similar.

Example 2

2a. Loop the anchor in the direction indicated by the

dotted line and arrows.

2b. Guide the tip of the anchor through the small hole

on the side of the tubing as illustrated to form a heart-shaped loop.

2c. When the loop is the correct size, turn the ear-set

around and cut off any excess with scissors or sim-ilar.

General information:

3. Make sure that the end of the anchor loop is flush

with the small hole and there are no sharp edges. Use the tip of your finger to check for sharp edges.

If part of the anchor sticks out through the hole, creat-ing an uneven surface, this may cause irritation of the ear.

General

Caring for your hearing aid

With proper care, your hearing aid will give you con- sistent reliable service. Here are some things you can do to prolong the life of your hearing aid:

• Switch your hearing aid off when it is not in use. Should you not use it for several days, take out the battery.

• Treat the hearing aid as the valuable object it is: with care. When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it in its case in a cool, dry location where it cannot be reached by children or pets.

• When not in use, do not expose the hearing aid to ex-treme heat or high humidity.

• In environments with high humidity, a Widex drying kit may be used daily to reduce the amount of mois-ture inside the hearing aid. See the instructions en-closed with the Widex drying kit.

• Do not wear your hearing aid in the shower or swim-ming or when using a hair dryer, perfume or other sprays.

• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself. • Do not wear your hearing aid during x-ray, MR scans,

CT scans, short-wave diathermy, or similar radiation treatments and never place your hearing aid in a mi-crowave oven. These are some of the types of radia-tion that can damage your hearing aid. Radiaradia-tion from, for example, room surveillance equipment, burglar alarms and cellular telephones is weaker and will not damage the hearing aid.

• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in mines or other areas with explosive gases.

• To maintain the proper shape of the ear-set, be care-ful not to twist or squeeze it out of shape when your hearing aid is placed in the case.

(33)

General

Good advice

• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumu-lation 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 consid-erably. It is a good idea to ask your physician to clean your ears a couple of times a year.

• Please be sure to keep the hearing aid and its parts and accessories out of the reach of children, who might place them in their mouths. Also keep batter-ies out of children’s reach and discard used batterbatter-ies carefully. Do not change batteries in front of children and do not let them see where you keep your sup-ply.

• 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 swal-lowing it. In case of ingestion, contact your physician immediately.

• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing but can help you make best possible use of your remain-ing hearremain-ing ability. However, you should be aware that it takes time to get used to a new hearing aid and new sounds.

• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic materials. Still, in rare cases skin irritation can occur. If you notice skin irritation in or around your ear or ear canal, contact your hearing care professional.

(34)

General

• Please be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid may involve a slightly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear. Therefore, we rec-ommend 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 oc-curs, you should seek medical attention and contact your hearing care professional for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine or similar substances.

Accessories

Audio input

The hearing aid can be furnished with an audio shoe. This allows direct connection to different kinds of ac-cessories (FM and CROS/Bi-CROS systems), as well as external audio equipment (radio, TV, etc.). In this way the sound from, for example, a radio or someone pro-vided with an FM microphone can be sent directly into the hearing aid.

In the standard setting, the hearing aid automatically switches to an audio program when an audio shoe is attached. If you then wish to switch to one of the other programs, you must use the program button on the hearing aid. As soon as you remove the audio shoe, the usual program order is re-established.

On the form on the next page, your hearing care pro-fessional can make a note of the audio programs you have access to and where they are located.

(35)

General

Important

If the hearing aid is connected to equipment which is connected to the electrical mains, this equipment must meet the safety requirements stated in the in-ternational standard IEC 60065.

Do not connect the hearing aid to sockets that are labelled with one or more of the following symbols:

General

FM systems

An FM system is an assistive listening device that can be used as an accessory for the hearing aid. The FM sys-tem makes it easier to understand speech in difficult listening situations.

The FM system from Widex is called SCOLA. The FM system consists of a wireless microphone placed near the speaker and a receiver clicked onto the hearing aid via an FM shoe. The oper-ating range is approx. 15 metres de-pending on the surroundings. As the system is wireless, both the listener and the speaker have full freedom of movement within the specified range.

The SCOLA FM system can be set according to your needs. This may mean that the hearing aid program button will work differently than when using an audio shoe.

For help to determine whether you could benefit from an FM system, please consult your hearing care profes-sional.
