Your new Bravissimo BV-19
We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex hear-
ing aid . We have included these user’s instructions to in-
form you about the various aspects associated with wear-
ing hearing aids . The instructions are made up of two
parts: The first part is an introduction to life as a hearing
aid user, how to get used to new sounds, etc . The second
part contains facts about your hearing aid . How to ope-
rate and maintain it and what you can do if you experi-
ence problems . Both parts are equally important, so we
recommend that you read the entire booklet to get full
satisfaction from the quality and performance we have
built into your new Bravissimo BV-19 hearing aid .
A world of new sounds
Becoming a hearing aid user can be an exciting chal-
lenge . Your hearing aid does not restore normal hearing,
but it brings back sounds that you may not have heard or
thought about for years - everyday sounds such as a tick-
ing clock, dripping water, the television, the car, footsteps
on hard floors, children’s voices, music, doors banging,
laughter, tools, machinery, etc . All these sounds can be a
bit overwhelming . Try to identify and localise the sounds
you are not accustomed to hearing . Once you become
used to hearing these everyday sounds again, they will
become a part of your active world of sounds .
