Page 34: Handling Batteries
Handling batteries So-called zinc-air batteries are used today almost exclusively in hearing instruments to minimize environmental damage. These batteries require oxygen for operation, which they absorb from the air. The battery is activated as soon as the protective foil is pulled off and is used up even if you do not use your hearing instrument. -
Page 35: Notes For Cleaning And Care
Notes for cleaning and care Ear wax accumulates on your ear mould. This can lead to inflammation in your auditory canal if the instruments are not cleaned regularly. Therefore: It is essential to detach the ear mould from your behind- the-ear instrument and place it in a cleaning bath for at least 15 minutes. - Page 36 Two more tips: You should place your hearing instruments in a “dry bag“ with a special moisture-attracting capsule overnight. The drying capsule draws damaging moisture out of the instruments. Your hearing instrument specialist stocks the special care sets and dry bags you need to maintain your hearing instruments and keep them in good condition.

Page 37: The Best Way To Handle Your Hearing Instruments
The best way to handle your hearing instruments Your new hearing instruments are highly sensitive instruments. This naturally requires some care in their handling. They should then always give you good service. Caution! As with all electrical, non gas-encapsulated instruments, the hearing instruments must not be operated in explosion-endangered rooms. -
Page 38: How To Solve Some Failures Yourself
How to solve failures yourself In selecting your MUSIC Pro hearing instruments you have chosen extremely dependable devices. However, should a fault occur, it can usually be corrected quickly. Important tips: If the instrument whistles Test the instrument yourself by covering the sound outlet opening with your fingertip. - Page 39 If the hearing instrument is too quiet Most likely, you need to insert a new battery. If it is still too quiet, clean the instrument or the ear mould and hearing tube, following the directions in the chapter “Notes for cleaning and care“ . If neither a new battery nor cleaning helps, as a precaution you should ask your hearing instrument specialist to test your hearing again.

Page 41: Hearing Training Made Easy
Hearing training made easy Hearing instruments reproduce an abundance of sounds which frequently haven’t been experienced for many years. Every person reacts differently the first time he or she wears a hearing instrument. The familiarisation phase therefore differs from person to person. There are people who are quite happy to wear their hearing instruments the whole day long right from the start. - Page 42 3rd step Become familiar with your own voice You’ve already made remarkable progress! You’ve become much more familiar with the sounds in your daily environment. As an exercise read out aloud and concentrate on your own voice. 4th step Learn to understand the voices of others Wear the instrument when you speak with someone in your family.
- Page 43 6th step Visit public events At lectures or in church find a place as close as possible to the speaker. Also choose a place at the front in theaters and concert halls.
