Audio input

The hearing aid can be furnished with an audio shoe. 
This allows direct connection to different kinds of ac-
cessories  (FM  and  CROS/Bi-CROS  systems),  as  well  as 
external audio equipment (radio, TV, etc.). In this way 
the sound from, for example, a radio or someone pro-
vided with an FM microphone can be sent directly into 
your hearing aid.  

In the standard setting, the hearing aid automatically 
switches to an audio program when an audio shoe is 
attached. If you then wish to switch to one of the other 
programs,  you  must  use  the  program  button  on  the 
hearing aid. As soon as you remove the audio shoe, the 
usual program order is re-established.

In the form on the next page, your hearing care profes-
sional can make a note of the audio programs you have 
access to and where they are located. 

Please be aware that the use of any type of hearing 

• 

aid may involve a slightly increased risk of infection 
in the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of 
inadequate ventilation of the ear. Therefore, we rec-
ommend that you remove the hearing aid and ear-
set from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be 
ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect your 
hearing aid and ear-set as required. If an infection oc-
curs, you should seek medical attention and contact 
your hearing care professional for advice on how to 
disinfect the various hearing aid parts. Do not under 
any  circumstances  use  alcohol,  chlorine  or  similar 
substances.
