THE HEARING AID 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.
NOTE Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before insert- ing it in the hearing aid. Otherwise your hearing aid may not function as expec- ted. Never attempt to recharge a zinc-air hearing aid battery, as it could ex- plode.
Now place the new battery in the drawer as shown. Close the drawer. If it doesn't close easily, the bat- tery is not placed correctly. If you are not using the hearing aid for a few days, remove the battery. NOTE Avoid dropping your hearing aid - hold the hearing aid above a soft surface while changing the battery.
Ask your hearing care professional to turn these sounds off if you don't need them. Lost partner (Only available in selected models) Your hearing care professional can turn on a feature in your hearing aid that warns you whenever it loses contact with the hearing aid in the opposite ear.
Putting on and removing the hearing aid Putting on the hearing aid 1. Insert the ear-set in the ear while holding the lower part of the tube/earwire. Pulling the outer ear upwards and backwards at the same time can be helpful. 2.
