Getting to know your device

The hearing amplifier is a device to help people hear better. It does this by amplifying sounds and then transmitting these to the ear. The hearing amplifier can neither prevent nor alleviate organically caused hearing loss. The hearing amplifier offers you a variety of applications. Regardless of whether you want to watch a film, chat with friends or just feel like listening to the sounds of nature in the woods, the hearing amplifier helps you to hear sounds louder and more clearly.

3. Warning and safety notes

WARNING

• You must have your hearing checked by a doctor or qualified hearing care professional before using the hearing amplifier. The settings of the hearing amplifier should only be adjusted by a trained expert, for example an ENT specialist, an audiologist or a qualified hearing amplifier retailer.
• In the event of an existing or previous ear problem, you should consult your doctor before using the hearing amplifier.
• The device must NOT be used for patients suffering from an ear inflammation or infection.
• Do NOT use the hearing amplifier if you are suffering from an inflammation of the middle ear or ear canal.
• If you feel unwell or experience pain when wearing the hearing amplifier, stop using it immediately and contact your doctor.
• If your ear becomes inflamed or your skin irritated or you experience an increased accumulation of ear wax when wearing the hearing amplifier, stop using it immediately and contact your doctor.

- Stop using the hearing amplifier and seek medical attention if the following occurs:

- Rash or eczema on areas of skin that come into contact with the hearing amplifier. (The hearing amplifier is made from a material that is kind to the skin. In rare cases, however, allergic reactions may occur that appear in the form of eczema.)

- Use of the hearing amplifier results in discharge from the ear and/or necessitates ear treatment.

- Sudden, significant decrease in hearing ability.

- If parts of the hearing amplifier become stuck in the ear, seek medial attention immediately. Do not attempt to remove the parts yourself.

- At first, set the volume to a low setting and increase it gradually once you have become accustomed to the hearing amplifier.

- Do NOT set the volume control too high, as this may cause further damage to hearing over an extended period of time. This is particularly important to note, as the device achieves a high output power.

- Do NOT lend your hearing amplifier to others or use the hearing amplifiers of others, as there is a risk of hearing damage and infection.

• Do NOT pass on your hearing amplifier for use by other persons. The use of a hearing amplifier that was designed for someone else may cause hearing damage.
• The hearing amplifier is NOT suitable for use for small children below the age of 36 months.
• It is particularly difficult to diagnose hearing problems in children. Children should only be provided with a hearing amplifier following a thorough inspection by an ENT specialist.
• Keep the hearing amplifier, the accessories and the batteries away from children, as there is a risk of injury and choking.
• This device is NOT intended for use by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who has responsibility for their safety or they receive instructions from this person on how to use the device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they do not play with it.

• Do NOT use the hearing amplifier in potentially explosive and hazardous environments.

• Do NOT use the device in oxygen-rich environments and over an extended period of time.

• Please contact the manufacturer in the event of the following:
• if you require assistance in the set-up, use or maintenance of the hearing amplifier; or
• if the device behaves unexpectedly during operation or otherwise.
• If you have any doubts, do NOT use a damaged hearing amplifier; contact your retailer or the specified Customer Services address.
• Switch the device off immediately if it is faulty or not working properly.
• Do not attempt to open and/or repair the hearing amplifier yourself. Repairs may only be carried out by Customer Services or authorised retailers. Failure to comply will result in voiding of the warranty.

IMPORTANT

• Do NOT wear the hearing amplifier in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields or X-rays.

• Do NOT wear the hearing amplifier while bathing, showering or swimming.

• Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight and high levels of air humidity.

• High temperatures may develop in closed vehicles during summer. You should therefore never leave your hearing amplifier inside a vehicle.
• Do NOT drop the device or subject it to any shocks.
• If the hearing amplifier falls into water, dry it with a cloth and then have it inspected by your retailer.
• Never attempt to dry the hearing amplifier in a microwave, a tumble dryer or with a hair dryer. The hearing amplifier may otherwise become damaged.
• Do NOT use the hearing amplifier together with a mobile phone. (The radio waves of the mobile phone may cause background noise or a loss of volume.)
• Do NOT wear the hearing amplifier while applying cosmetics (e.g. makeup, hairspray, perfume or sun cream).

• Do NOT wear the hearing amplifier while undergoing short-wave therapy or medical treatments that are subject to strong radio frequency or magnetic fields.

• Take care when operating the switch and controller. Do NOT press too firmly.

• Do not insert any sharp objects into the microphone opening as this may damage the microphone.
• Do NOT touch the magnets of the hearing amplifier as this may damage the device.
• Do NOT touch the inside of the device. There are many sensitive parts that have been precisely configured. Under no circumstances should you poke at the inside of the hearing amplifier with a needle or similar object.

6. Initial use

Remove the hearing amplifier from the packaging and check that the device and all accessories are included and not damaged.

1. Open the battery compartment on the hearing amplifier as shown.

2. Remove the protective film from the button cell battery included in delivery (type 13/PR48) and insert the battery into the battery compartment as shown after 10 to 15 minutes. When inserting the battery, ensure that the correct polarity (+/-) is observed.

3. Close the battery compartment again. Now connect your desired earplug to the earpiece.

Make sure the volume control is initially set to the lowest setting before operating the hearing amplifier.

7. Use

1. Bring the hearing amplifier up to your ear as shown. Slowly insert the earplug into your ear canal applying no force. Make sure not to insert the earplug too deeply into the ear canal. If the earplug is not properly in place or feels uncomfortable, try a different earplug.
2. Move the On/Off switch to "I" to switch on the hearing amplifier. Use the volume control to adjust the volume to the desired level so that you can hear sounds clearly and distinctly.

- If you hear a slight whistling sound when wearing the hearing amplifier, check that your earplug is fitted properly in your ear. If it is not snug enough, use a different earplug.

- The hearing amplifier does not heal an existing hearing impairment, but it does improve hearing and speech understanding.

8. Maintenance and cleaning

IMPORTANT

• Always keep the hearing amplifier clean.
- Remove the batteries from the device each time before cleaning.
- Please always treat the product with care and prevent the earplug and acoustic opening from becoming obstructed with foreign matter. This impairs the function of the sound amplification.
- Clean the hearing amplifier and the earplugs with a clean, dry cloth after each use. If they are very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy solution. Never use abrasive, corrosive or solvent-based cleaning products.
- An elongated object or brush works well to remove any ear wax stuck in the earpiece.
- Allow the hearing amplifier to dry fully after cleaning. Store the hearing amplifier in a safe, dry and clean place in the storage box.
- Under no circumstances should you hold the hearing amplifier under water, as this can cause liquid to enter and damage the hearing amplifier.

9. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible causes
No sounds can be heard from the hearing amplifier.	- Hearing amplifier is not switched on.- Battery is not inserted correctly (polarity).- Battery flat.- Microphone is dirty.- Hearing amplifier is damaged.
The tone is very weak and faint.	- Volume setting on hearing amplifier is too low- Battery is almost flat.- Earplug is dirty.- Microphone is dirty.- The earpiece may be damaged.- Battery compartment not securely closed. Close the battery compartment.
Feedback sound is too loud.	The earpiece of the hearing amplifier does not fit correctly in the ear, meaning that the hearing amplifier may not function correctly in certain circumstances or an unpleasant whistling sound (acoustic feedback) can be heard.This can be prevented in the following ways:- Switch off the hearing amplifier and insert it into the ear.Ensure that it is inserted correctly.- If the earpiece does not fit correctly in the ear, try it again with another attachment. It is recommended to use an earpiece that fits correctly. If you have any doubts, please contact Customer Services.
