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 BTE (Behind-The-Ear) models.
A tube delivers the sound from the hearing aid into the
ear. The hearing aids are not intended for children under
the age of 3 years or persons with a developmental age
of under 3 years.
The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological
features and synchronization between your two hearing aids.
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).
Note, that Bluetooth is not available on all performance
levels.

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 aids is available.

Features
The tinnitus therapy signal generates a sound to
diract you from your tinnitus.
A telecoil is built into the hearing aid, so it can
connect with audio induction loops.
Read more in section

Batteries
When the battery is low the sound becomes weaker
or you will hear an alert signal. The battery type will
determine how long you have to replace the battery.
Battery size and handling tips
Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended
batteries.
Battery size: 13
Always use the correct battery size for your hearing aids.

Tamper-proof function (optional)
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to enable the
tamper-proof function.
OFF position when not in use:
XThe battery compartment can be easily opened by a
few millimeters to turn the hearing aid o.
To ensure that the hearing aid is safely ored in the
vicinity of small children, the battery door mu be
opened to the OFF position when the hearing aid is
not in use.
Only open the battery compartment completely
when changing the battery.
How to open the battery compartment:
XPlace a small cloth or tissue over the battery
compartment grip.
XOpen the door
with your thumb
as shown in the
illuration.
The force required to open the door is higher than

Daily use
To assure comfortable and easy use of your hearing aids
they are equipped with an onboard control element.
In addition, we oer an app for Android as well as
iPhones which makes handling your devices even easier.
Contact your Hearing Care Professional for downloading
and inalling the smartphone app.

compartment:
XTurning on: Close the battery compartment.

XTurning o: Open the battery
compartment to the r catch.
When the power-on delay is activated, the hearing aids
turn on after a delay of several seconds. During this time
you can insert the hearing aids into your ears without
experiencing unpleasant feedback whiling.
The "power-on delay" can be activated by your Hearing
Care Professional.
16
Standby mode
The andby mode mutes the hearing aids. They are
not turned o completely but ill draw some power.
Therefore, we recommend to use andby mode only for
a short period of time.
How to switch to andby mode:
via remote control
via rocker switch
Press and hold the rocker switch for several seconds.
Leaving the andby mode:

If you want to leave the andby mode but the
remote control is not at hand, turn your device o
and on again (by opening and closing the battery
compartment). In this case, the default volume and
hearing program are set.

left ear. Colored markers indicate the side:
red marker = right ear
blue marker = left ear
Inserting a hearing aid:
XHold the tube close to the ear piece.
XCarefully push the ear piece
into the ear canal .
XTwi it slightly until it sits well.
Open and close your mouth to
avoid accumulation of air in the
ear canal.
XLift the hearing aid and slide it
over the top of your ear .
It may be helpful to insert the right hearing aid
with the right hand and the left hearing aid with
the left hand.
If you have problems inserting the ear piece,
use the other hand to gently pull your earlobe
downwards. This opens the ear canal and eases
insertion of the ear piece.

into the ear.
The optional retention rand helps to securely retain the
ear piece in your ear. To position the retention rand:

your ear when removing the hearing aid.

a medical professional.
Clean and dry your hearing aids after usage. Read more
in section "Maintenance and care".
