adjusting to a WoRld
of neW sounds
A hearing loss is typically acquired gradually over
many years. You may have become accustomed to
an everyday life with fewer sounds, which also means
hearing less noise than people with normal hearing.
With your new hearing instruments you will experi-
ence many sounds that you may not have heard for
years, such as:
• Clocks ticking
• Newspaper crinkling
• Children's voices
• Whispers and soft speech
• Car noises
• Bird songs
• Footsteps on the floor
It can take several months for your brain to become
accustomed to all the "new" sounds around you.
Your hearing healthcare professional will advise you
how to best adapt to all of these sounds while using
your new hearing instruments.

on and off
Your ReSound hearing instrument is equipped
with an on/off switch integrated into the battery
compartment.
1. When the battery compartment is fully closed,
the instrument is turned on and Program 1 is
activated.
2. To turn the instrument off, open the battery door
by lifting the tab at the edge of the battery door.
Once the battery door opens, the instrument will
be turned off.
3. Whenever you are not using the instrument,
remember to turn it off to reduce battery con-
sumption.
smaRtstaRt™ (Select modelS)
Generally, people prefer to turn on the hearing instru-
ment once it is fully inserted in the ear. To facilitate
this, your hearing healthcare professional can activate
the SmartStart™ function.
SmartStart™ allows you to insert the instrument
into the ear without annoying squealing sounds by
delaying activation of the device by ten seconds after
closing the battery door. During this 10-second period
you will hear soft beeps.
