Becoming Accustomed to Amplification

While purchasing a hearing system is a major step, it is only one step in a process toward more comfortable hearing. Successfully adapting to the amplification your hearing system provides takes time and consistent use.

You will enjoy more benefits from your Interton hearing system by taking the following actions:

- Wear the system regularly in order to get comfortable with using it.

• It takes time to get used to a hearing aid. It may help to begin by wearing your hearing aid for short periods – even as little as 15 minutes – and then gradually building up your wearing time. In a way, it's no different than adjusting to contact lenses. Speak to you hearing care professional, who can design a schedule tailored just for you.
• As you get more comfortable with the system, increase the wearing time and wear your hearing system in multiple types of listening environments.

It may take as long as several months for your brain to get used to all the "new" sounds around you. Following these suggestions will give your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and increase the benefits you get from using an Interton hearing system.

Getting started

On&Off function

1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument turns on, and the default program will be activated.

2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Many individuals can use their fingemail to pull it open.

i Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off

On Off in the battery email to pull it

to avoid unnecessary battery consumption.

Delayed activation

Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on your ears. If you prefer to turn them on just prior to placing them on your ear, your hearing care professional can activate a function called

Delayed on-activation. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments turn on by several seconds after the battery compartment is closed. With Delayed on-activation, a beep will be heard for each second of the delay period.

Inserting/Replacing the battery

1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail.
2. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the correct position.
3. Gently close the battery door.

i Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf-life of 1 year.

Warning

1. Remove the batteries to prevent leakage when the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended period of time.
2. Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not specifically designated as rechargeable because they may leak or explode.
3. Do not place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been swallowed, as they can be harmful to your health.
4. Keep batteries away from pets, children and individuals who are mentally challenged.
5. Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local regulations or return them to your hearing care practitioner.

Low battery indicator

Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give an acoustical indication when the battery is reaching its end of life. The hearing instrument will reduce amplification and emit a melody if battery power gets too low. This signal will recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches off. It is recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.

Low battery indicator (instruments paired with accessories only)

Active usage of the Interton wireless accessories (Remote Control, Phone Clip and TV Streamer) requires more battery power from the hearing instruments than when these are working on their own. When the battery in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use of the Interton TV Streamer TV and Phone Clip cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing instrument and Interton Remote Control will continue to work as usual, but you will not be able to use your Interton TV Streamer and Phone Clip. At some point the battery level will not support the remote control either and you will once again hear the descending tones. The hearing instruments will continue to work as usual. Once a new battery is inserted, full operation of the accessories will resume.

Inserting/Removing hearing instruments Insertion (custom earmoulds)

1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and index finger and position its sound outlet in your ear canal.
2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.
3. Turn the top part of the carmould gently backwards and forwards so that it lucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
4. Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned correctly in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
5. Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.

By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing instruments should fit snugly but comfortably. If the hearing instruments cause irritation of the ears, contact your hearing care professional.

CAUTION

Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, earmoulds, or tubing yourself.

It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during insertion.

Insertion (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)

1. Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently push the dome into the ear canal. Push the dome far enough into the ear canal so that the thin tube lies flush with the head.
2. It is important that the tube and the dome fit correctly into your ear.
3. When the dome is place correctly, you should not be able to see the thin tube sticking out when facing a mirror.

! caution

You should never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the thin tube.

! caution

Use only original Interton/GN Hearing consumables e.g. tubes and domes.

Operation of the hearing instrument Volume control (optional)

The volume control will allow the volume of hearing instruments to be increased or decreased.

1. To increase the volume, push the volume control up or move the wheel upwards.

2. To decrease the volume, push the volume control down or move the wheel downwards.

When volume is increased or decreased, a beep signal will be

heard for each incremental change. When the upper or lower limits of the volume range are reached, a beep signal with a longer duration will be heard. During the fitting of the instrument, your hearing care professional will have chosen an optimal volume setting for you. When switching the instrument on, the volume will have this optimal setting.

Push button

Depending on your experience level with hearing instruments, individual hearing needs, and the type of listening environments you experience, your hearing care professional may activate additional programmes. If additional programmes have been activated, the following list explains how they work.

1. You can switch between programmes by pushing the push button once.
2. You will then hear one or more beeps. The number of beeps indicates which programme you have selected (one beep = programme one, two beeps = programme two, etc.).
3. When the hearing instruments are turned off and then back on, the hearing instrument always returns to the default setting (programme one).

Only applicable to wireless devices.

If your hearing system supports wireless functionality and it is paired with wireless accessory like TV Streamer you can activate streaming mode.

1. Push and hold the push button for 2 seconds.

2. You will then hear short melody that indicates streaming mode.

Telephone use

Finding the optimal position for holding a telephone may require practice for some individuals, and one or more of the following suggestions may be helpful. 1. Hold the telephone as you would normally.

1. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the microphones are).
2. If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of holding the telephone in the same position before the hearing instrument eliminates the feedback.
3. Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly away from the car.
4. Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional may activate a programme specifically for telephone use.

Listen to radio or TV

When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since they usually speak clearly, then try other programmes. If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your hearing care professional will be able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance your listening capabilities for TV and radio.

Cellular phones

Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, not all cell phones are hearing instrument compatible. The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular cellular phone or of your wireless telephone service provider.

If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cellular phone, your hearing care professional will be able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance listening capabilities.

AutoPhone (optional)

The AutoPhone function, allows your hearing instrument to automatically switch to your tele phone programme when a telephone receiver with an AutoPhone magnet is raised to the ear. When the telephone receiver is removed from the ear, the hearing instrument automatically returns to the previous listening programme.

Placement of AutoPhone magnets

Place AutoPhone magnet on your telephone receiver to allow operation of the AutoPhone function. In order to place AutoPhone magnet properly:

1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.
2. Hold the telephone vertically, in a position similar to when making a telephone call.

1. Place the magnets just below the telephone receiver. Make sure not to cover the microphone openings. If necessary, move the magnet to another position to improve ease of use and comfort while speaking.
2. If you are not satisfied with the strength of AutoPhone, you can reposition the AutoPhone magnet or add additional AutoPhone magnets.

Only use a recommended cleaning agent to clean the telephone prior to placing the magnet on the phone.

AutoPhone usage

Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A short melody will indicate that the AutoPhone feature has automatically switched the hearing instrument to your telephone programme. Initially, you may need to move the telephone receiver slightly to find the best position for reliable AutoPhone activation and good hearing on the telephone. When you remove the telephone receiver AutoPhone will stay activated for a few seconds to avoid accidental switching off. After that hearing instrument will switch to previously used environmental programme.

Warning

AutoPhone warnings

1. Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and mentally challenged persons. If a magnet is swallowed, please seek advice from a medical practitioner.
2. The AutoPhone magnet may affect some medical devices or electronic systems. The manufacturer of any magnetically sensitive devices (e.g. pacemakers) should advise you regarding appropriate safety precautions when using your hearing instrument and magnet in close proximity to the medical device or electronic system in question.

if the manufacturer cannot issue a statement, we recommend keeping the magnet or a telephone equipped with the magnet 30 cm (12") away from magnetically sensitive devices (e.g. pacemakers).

⚠️ caution

AutoPhone precautions

1. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal position relative to the telephone receiver. To avoid the issue, please move the magnet to another place on the telephone receiver.
2. Only use magnets supplied by Interton/GN Hearing.

Telecoil (optional)

If equipped, a telecoil can be activated by your hearing care professional and accessed through one of the additional programmes. A telecoil picks up a telephone's magnetic signal and converts it to sound. An optional telephone programme may help to improve speech understanding on the telephone. When using a telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone may need to be held closer to the hearing instrument. The handset of the telephone may need to be moved to slightly different positions in order to find the best reception.

Tele-loop systems (optional)

Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are equipped with tele-loop systems. When using a telecoil programme with tele-loop systems, sound is picked up directly and may improve speech understanding. If there is no sound from the hearing instruments in a tele-loop system and with a telecoil programme activated, the tele-loop system may not be turned on or is not operating correctly. If a facility is not equipped with a tele-loop system, sitting as close as possible to the front may be helpful.

Direct Audio Input (optional)

Use of Direct Audio Input (DAI), which enables a direct connection of the hearing instruments to items such as television, radio, and remote microphones, may increase speech understanding for some individuals. The sound source is connected to the hearing instruments by a cable or a wireless FM system to the audio boot. This accessory connects to the bottom of the hearing instruments, and once properly clicked into place, the hearing instruments switch to DAI automatically.

Connecting/Disconnecting audio boots

Connecting audio boots

1. Align the tip of the audio boot with the groove just above the battery compartment and below the model number.

1. Once in place, move the boot in the direction of the battery compartment.
2. Gently click the audio boot onto the hearing instrument.

Disconnecting audio boots

1. Press and hold the button on the front side of the audio boot.
2. Gently remove the audio boot from the hearing instrument.

Cleaning earmoulds

1. Remove the earmould and attached tubing from the hearing instruments prior to cleaning.
2. Clean the camould using a mild soap, and rinse with lukewarm water.
3. After cleaning, dry earmoulds thoroughly and remove any residual water and debris from the tubing utilising an air bulb and wire loop.

Earmould tubing may become stiff, brittle, or discoloured over time. Contact your hearing care professional regarding tube changes.

Cleaning thin tubes and domes

1. Remove thin tubes from hearing instruments before cleaning by unscrewing them counter clockwise.
2. Wipe down thin tubes and domes with a damp cloth.
3. In order to clear the thin tube of moisture and debris, push the black cleaning rod through the thin tube, beginning at the end opposite the dome.

Thin tube and dome systems should be changed every three months or sooner, should the components become stiff or brittle.

how to apply domes

It is recommended that your hearing care professional change domes, as incorrect dome re placement could result in the dome falling out in the ear.

Mini domes

1. Push the new dome over the flanges on the thin tube.
2. Make sure that the new dome is properly and securely mounted.

Diagram showing two-step installation of a connector or cable assembly, labeled ① and ② with arrows indicating direction.

Standard domes

Standard domes are mounted in a similar manner to mini domes, but a few extra steps are required. Tulip domes consist of two "pelais". It is important to note that the largest petal is the outermost petal.

To ensure this:

1. Push the largest petal away from the thin tube using a finger. This bends the petal forward.
2. Then push the largest petal back, and it will be placed on top of the smaller petal.
