Your Widex Hearing Aid

Welcome to Widex

Congratulations on your new hearing aid.

Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting
used to it. Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a
hearing aid.

NOTE

Your hearing aid and its accessories may not look exactly as illustra-
ted in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes
we consider necessary.
