YOUR HEARING AID Welcome Congratulations on your new hearing aid. Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it. Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid. Your hearing aid and its accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in this booklet.

CONDITIONS FOR USE Indications for use The hearing aids are indicated for individuals older than 36 months with a range of hearing loss from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe-to-profound (100 dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations. They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals (audiol- ogists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing (re)habilitation.
Your hearing aid is sensitive to extreme conditions such as high tempera- ture. See the specific storage and transportation conditions below: Minimum Maximum Temperature -20°C (-4°F) 55°C (131°F) Humidity 10% rH 95% rH You can find technical data sheets and additional information on your hear- ing aids on https://global.widex.com.

Your hearing aid can be fitted using different types of ear-sets. See the sep- arate ear-set manual for more information about your ear-set. Removing the hearing aid Start by removing the hearing aid from behind the ear. Then take the ear-set carefully out of the ear canal while you hold the lower part of the tube/earwire.
THE BATTERY The zinc-air battery Use a type 312 zinc-air battery for your hearing aid. Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recommended by your hearing care professional. NOTE Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before insert- ing it in the hearing aid.
Take the adhesive tab off the new battery and make sure there is no sticky substance left on it. Let it "breathe" for 60 seconds. Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery door open and remove the old battery. Now place the new battery in the drawer as shown.
