Caring for batteries
Always discard batteries in a safe and
environmentally friendly way.
To prolong battery life, remember to turn your
hearing aids off when not in use.
Remove the batteries and keep the battery
door open while hearing aids are not in use.
This will allow internal moisture to evaporate.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for
the first time
Start in a quiet room at home first to get
•
used to the new sound quality. Sounds like
the ticking of a clock, the humming of the
computer, the beep of the microwave or the
rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud
to you at first, because you have not been
hearing them properly for a long time.
Read aloud to yourself and learn to adjust
•
the volume of your own voice when you are
wearing the hearing aids.
Talk to different people and learn how
•
to distinguish between different sound
patterns again.
It will take some time before you are
•
completely used to your hearing aids and
can fully enjoy the benefits.
Wear your hearing aids for as many hours
•
a day as you can, and for a little longer
each day.
