  • Page 20: Audio Induction Loops

    Audio induction loops Some telephones and public places like theatres offer the audio signal (music and speech) via an audio induction loop. With this system, your hearing instruments can directly receive the desired signal – without distracting noise in the environment. You can usually recognize audio induction loop systems by certain signs.
  • Page 21: Audio Input (Fm System)

    Audio input (FM system) With an audio input you can connect your hearing instruments to an FM system. An FM system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. It gathers speech at the voice source (via a separate microphone) and transmits the sound directly to the hearing instruments.
  • Page 22 WARNING Risk of electric shock! Connect audio input only to a device conforming to IEC 60065, the IEC-Norm for audio, video and  other electronic devices.
  • Page 23: Maintenance And Care

  • Page 24: Ear Pieces, Earhooks And Tubes

    Ear pieces, earhooks and tubes Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces. This may affect sound quality. Clean the ear pieces daily. For hearing instruments with a standard ear piece: ■  Exchange the ear pieces approximately every three to six months, or sooner if you notice cracks or other changes.
  • Page 25 Cleaning ear pieces Clean the ear piece upon removal with a soft and dry tissue. This prevents cerumen becoming dry and hardening. Never use running water or immerse the ear piece in water. Exchanging standard ear pieces Pull off the used ear piece and plug on the new ear piece.
