In case of malfunction

Before  contacting  your  hearing  care  professional, 
please follow the advice below:

If the hearing aid is dead, it could be because:

The instrument is not turned on.

 Make sure the bat-

tery is inserted correctly and the battery compart-
ment cover is closed correctly .

The battery is dead or does not work.

  Insert  a  new 

battery . Make sure the battery is inserted correctly 
and that the battery compartment cover is closed 
correctly .

The  sound  outlet  is  blocked.

  Earwax  is  often  the 

cause of a blocked sound outlet . If the hearing aid 
is  equipped  with  a  Cerustop  wax  guard,  change 
the wax guard . If the hearing aid is not equipped 
with  a  wax  guard,  clean  the  sound  outlet  of  the 
hearing aid with the small brush . See page 26 . Do 
not  insert  anything  into  the  sound  outlet  as  this 
could damage the hearing aid . If you cannot clean 
the  sound  outlet  completely,  you  should  contact 
your hearing care professional .

The battery contacts are dirty.

 Contact your hearing 

care  professional  to  have  the  battery  contacts 
cleaned .  

 

The microphone opening is blocked.

 Wax or dirt can 

block the microphone opening . Do not insert any-
thing into the microphone opening . Contact your 
hearing care professional .

If the hearing aid volume is not powerful enough, it 
could be because:

The  sound  outlet  is  blocked.

  Earwax  is  often  the 

cause of a blocked sound outlet . If the hearing aid 
is  equipped  with  a  Cerustop  wax  guard,  change 
the wax guard . If the hearing aid is not equipped 
with  a  wax  guard,  clean  the  sound  outlet  of  the 
hearing aid with the small brush . See page 26 . Do 
not  insert  anything  into  the  sound  outlet  as  this 
could damage the hearing aid . If you cannot clean 
the  sound  outlet  completely,  you  should  contact 
your hearing care professional .

Your  ear  canal  is  blocked  by  earwax.

  Contact  your 

ENT doctor to have your ear canal cleaned .
