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 (0 dB HL) to severe (95 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.
Operating conditions Your hearing aid has been designed to operate in everyday situations, and it works in environmental conditions that are comfortable for you. You can wear your hearing aid during flights, but you should remove it before show- ering or swimming. Specific operating conditions for your hearing aid: Minimum Maximum...

DAILY USE Turning the hearing aid on and off To turn the hearing aid on, close the battery door. The hearing aid will play a sound signal to indicate that it is on, unless your hearing care professional has deactiva- ted this function.
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 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.
