Your hearing aids
This user guide describes optional features that your
hearing aids may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing aids.
Hearing aid type
Your hearing aids are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) model. The
receiver is placed within the ear canal and connected to the
hearing aid via a receiver cable. The hearing aids are not
intended for children under the age of 3 years or persons
with a developmental age of under 3 years.
A power cell (lithium-ion rechargeable battery) is
permanently built into your hearing aid. This enables
easy charging with ampli-charge R 3 STD or the optional
ampli-charge R 3 or ampli-charge R 3 D&C.
The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological
features and synchronization between your two hearing aids.
7
Your hearing aids feature Bluetooth® low energy* technology
allowing for easy data exchange with your smartphone, and
for seamless audio reaming with your iPhone** and for
some Android smartphones that support Audio Streaming
for Hearing Aids (ASHA).
Getting to know your hearing aids 
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing aids. With the hearing aids in your hand try using
the controls and note their location on the hearing aid. This
will make it easier for you to feel and press the controls
while wearing the hearing aids.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing aids while wearing them, you can ask your
Hearing Care Professional whether a remote control
or a smartphone app to control your hearing aids is
available.
