Page 5: Turning The Hearing Aid On And Off
Turning the hearing aid on and off The battery drawer also functions as the on/off switch. The hearing aid is turned on when the switch is pushed upwards, and off when the switch is pushed downwards as illustrated. The word “OFF” is clearly visi- ble on the switch when the aid is turned off. -
Page 6: Automatic Adjustment Of Loudness
Automatic adjustment of loudness Senso P38 is equipped with a computer which has been designed to adjust its loudness automatically in accordance with the sound environment around you.

Page 7: Fine Tuning Loudness

Page 8: Telecoil (M-Mt-T Switch)
Telecoil (M-MT-T switch) “M” (microphone): For normal use, the switch should be in posi- tion “M” (microphone). “T” (telecoil): Position “T” cuts off the microphone and brings the built-in telecoil into operation. The hearing aid can then be used within any mag- netic field or loop system without background inter- ference. - Page 9 Note: The magnetic field in some telephones is inad- equate, in which case the “M” position should be used. “MT” (microphone + telecoil): If you want to listen both via the microphone and the telecoil, place the switch in mid-position “MT” (e.g. when watching TV while still wanting to hear the doorbell, telephone, or other persons speaking).

Page 10: Changing The Battery
Changing the battery Before inserting a new battery in your hearing aid, remember to remove the adhesive tab. Do not use batteries on which there is a sticky residue from the tab or oth- er unwanted substance as this can block the battery airholes. Push the nail grip downwards to swing open the battery drawer. - Page 11 Exhausted batteries: If you hear four rapid beep- tones while wearing your hearing aid, it is an indica- tion that you should exchange the battery as soon as possible as the battery is nearly exhausted. Once the battery is totally exhausted, the hearing aid will be completely silent.

Page 13: Left/Right Identification

Page 14: Placing Senso On/In The Ear
Placing Senso on/in the ear Insert a battery in your hearing aid. We recommend that you turn off the hearing aid before placing it on the ear. First insert the earmould in the ear canal while holding the lower part of the tubing. It may also be helpful to gently pull the outer ear backwards and upwards with the opposite hand. - Page 15 Once the earmould has been inserted, you place the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the hook rests comfortably on the ear, close to your head. When the hearing aid is in its cor- rect position, turn on the hear- ing aid.

Page 16: Removing Senso
Removing Senso First remove the hearing aid from its position behind the ear. Carefully pull the earmould out of the ear ca- nal, while holding the lower part of the tubing. If it is difficult, it may help to try to move the earmould carefully from side to side while pulling it out. -
Page 17: In Case Of Malfunction
In case of malfunction Should your hearing aid be completely or periodical- ly dead, try the following before consulting your hear- ing healthcare professional: • Make sure the hearing aid is switched on. • Disconnect the tubing with earmould from the hook of the hearing aid and check if there is moisture in the tubing. - Page 18 Important Please be sure to keep your hearing aid and its acces- sories out of the reach of children, who might place them in their mouths. Also keep batteries out of children’s reach and dis- card used batteries carefully. Do not change batteries in front of children or let them see where you keep your supply.
- Page 19 Please be aware that the use of any type of earmould may involve a slightly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of in- adequate ventilation of the ear or scratches in the ear canal caused by the earmould.

The hearing aid Never wash your hearing aid with water, cleaning so- lutions or other liquids. In- stead, clean your hearing aid with a dry soft cloth af- ter use.

Page 27: The Earmould
The earmould Make sure your earmould is clean and free of ear- wax and moisture. If it is plugged, clear the open- ing with the wax remov- ing tool. If this is not sufficient, discon- nect the plastic tube from the hook of the hearing aid and wash the earmould in lukewarm wa- ter and a mild dishwashing soap. - Page 28 If there is still moisture in the earmould or tube, use a syringe or a small blower to blow it dry.
