Operation
Directional Settings
Your hearing system may have a directional microphone to
help improve speech understanding in noisy situations.
Ask your hearing care professional about your particular
directional settings.
Telephone Use
Your hearing instruments are equipped with tools
to help you effectively communicate on the telephone. Ask
your hearing professional about your telephone solution.
Automatic Telephone and Automatic Telecoil
These options activate the telephone response
automatically when used with a hearing aid compatible
telephone. To use, place the telephone receiver on your
ear as you normally would and the hearing instrument will
select the telephone setting. It might be necessary to move
the telephone receiver slightly to find the best reception.
Once the telephone is removed from the ear, the hearing
instrument will switch back to the normal listening mode.
Note: Consult with your hearing professional if your
device does not seem to switch to the telephone setting
automatically.
My hearing instruments have the following telephone setting(s):
Automatic Telephone. See below.
Automatic Telecoil. See below.
Telecoil. See page 18.

Operation
Telecoil and Manual Switching
Hearinginstrumentswithamanualtelecoilallow
you to switch the devices to telephone mode
when needed.
Manually switched telecoils
are activated by choosing
the telecoil setting using the
Multifunction button.
General Telephone Use
Some hearing instruments
work best by holding the
phone close to, but not fully
covering your ear. In some
instances, if you encounter
whistling (feedback), tilt the
receiver at an angle until the
whistling stops. Your hearing
professional can provide
instructions and techniques
for your specific needs.
18
Operation
DISCLAIMER – Some hearing aid users have reported a
buzzing sound in their hearing aids when they are using
cell phones, indicating that the cell phone and hearing
aid may not be compatible. According to the ANSI
C63.19 standard (ANSI C63.19-2006 American National
Standard Methods of Measurement of Compatibility
Between Wireless Communications Devices and Hearing
Aids), the compatibility of a particular hearing aid and
cell phone can be predicted by adding the rating for
the hearing aid immunity to the rating for the cell phone
emissions. For example, the sum of a hearing aid rating
of 2 (M2/T2) and a telephone rating of 3 (M3/T3) would
result in a combined rating of 5. Any combined rating
that equals at least 5 would provide “normal use”; a
combined rating of 6 or greater would indicate “excellent
performance.”
The immunity of this hearing aid is at least M2/T2. The
equipment performance measurements, categories
and system classifications are based upon the best
information available but cannot guarantee that all users
will be satisfied.
NOTE: The performance of individual hearing aids may
vary with individual cell phones. Therefore, please try this
hearing aid with your cell phone or, if you are purchasing
a new phone, be sure to try it with your hearing aid prior
to purchase. For additional guidance, please ask your
cell phone provider for the booklet entitled “Hearing Aid
Compatibility with Digital Wireless Cell Phones.”

Tips for Better Communication
Your hearing care professional will recommend an
appropriate schedule to help you adapt to your
new hearing system. It will take practice, time and
patience for your brain to adapt to the new sounds
thatyourhearingsystemprovides.Hearingisonly
part of how we share thoughts, ideas and feelings.
Reading lips, facial expressions and gestures
can help the learning process and add to what
amplification alone may miss.
Please review the following simple
communication tips:

FDA Information
Required Information
The following additional information is provided in compliance with U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations:
WARNING TO HEARING AID DISPENSERS. A hearing aid dispenser
should advise a prospective hearing aid user to consult promptly with
a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before dispensing a
hearing aid if the hearing aid dispenser determines through inquiry, actual
observation, or review of any other available information concerning
the prospective user, that the prospective user has any of the following
conditions:
i. Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
ii. Historyofactivedrainagefromtheearwithintheprevious90days.
iii. Historyofsuddenorrapidlyprogressivehearinglosswithinthe
previous 90 days.
iv. Acute or chronic dizziness.
v. Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous
90 days.
vi. Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at
500Hertz(Hz),1,000Hzand2,000Hz.
vii. Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign
body in the ear canal.
viii. Pain or discomfort in the ear.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PROSPECTIVE HEARING AID USERS.
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have
a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician
who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing
aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often
referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhynolaryngologists.
The purpose of the medical evaluation is to assure that all medically
treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated
before the hearing aid is purchased.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written
statement that states that your hearing loss has been medically evaluated
and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The
physician will refer you to an audiologist or hearing aid dispenser, as
appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation.
24
FDA Information
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid
evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid.
The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to
select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you
should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option
program. Many hearing aid dispensers now offer programs that permit
you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after
which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to those individuals who
have obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed physician. Federal
law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining
the medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude
consultation with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your
best health interest and its use is strongly discouraged.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or
improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. Use
of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may need to be
supplemented by auditory training and instruction in lip reading. In most
cases infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full
benefit from it.
CHILDREN WITH HEARING LOSS. In addition to seeing a physician for
a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be directed to
an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may
cause problems in language development and the educational and social
growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience
to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
