• Page 4: Your New Bravissimo Bv-38

  Your new Bravissimo BV-38 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.

• Page 5: A World Of New Sounds

  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.

• Page 6: Having Something In Your Ear

  Having something in your ear Your ears need to become accustomed to your new hear- ing aids. If you are wearing a hearing aid for the first time, you also have to become used to having something in your ear. It is not uncommon to feel a sensation of pres- sure in the ear for the first few days and your ear canal may feel warm and a bit sore.

• Page 7: Practice Makes Perfect

  Practice makes perfect It is a good idea to start slowly and wear your hearing aids for just short intermittent periods of time, for exam- ple one or two hours, and first try them in situations with few people and not too much noise. Gradually you can use them for longer periods of time and in noisier envi- ronments.

• Page 8: Help To Help Yourself

  Most modern hearing aids are designed with a multitude of options, settings and features to benefit most hearing aid users. Your Bravissimo BV-38 hearing aid is set individ- ually to your hearing loss and hearing to ensure the best and most comfortable sound reproduction.

  Make a note of the situations where you are not satisfied and why. Is the problem related to low frequency, high frequency, weak or loud sounds? Is it all the time or only in specific situations? Try to describe your experiences as detailed as possible so that you and your hearing health- care professional have something to go on when you meet again.

• Page 14: Left/Right Identification

  Left/right identification If you wear hearing aids on both ears, your hearing health- care professional can put a coloured mark (red nameplate) on your right hearing aid, so you can easily see which aid is for the left ear and which is for the right ear.

• Page 16
  Once the earmould has been in- serted, you place the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the hook rests comfortably on the ear, close to your head. When the hearing aid is in its correct position, turn on the hearing aid.

• Page 17: Removing Bravissimo Bv-38

  Removing Bravissimo BV-38 First remove the hearing aid from its position behind the ear. Carefully pull the earmould out of the ear canal, while holding the lower part of the tubing. If it is difficult, it may help to try to move the earmould carefully from side to side while pulling it out.

• Page 20: Listening Programs

  Listening programs Your Bravissimo BV-38 behind-the-ear hearing aid is equipped with three listening programs optimised for dif- ferent listening situations. These listening programs allow you to focus on the sound source you wish to hear. You can select the program that is most appropriate for your sound environment.

• Page 21: Switching Between The Listening Programs

  Switching between the listen- ing programs You switch between the pro- grams by using the program switch on the back of the hear- ing aid, just above the battery drawer.

• Page 22: Keeping Bravissimo Bv-38 Clean

  Keeping Bravissimo BV-38 clean Cleaning accessories The following accessories are available for your hearing aid: 1. Battery magnet to facilitate insertion of the battery into the battery drawer. 2. Wax removing tool for cleaning the relief vent opening. 3. Soft cloth for drying and cleaning the hearing aid.

• Page 23: The Hearing Aid

  The hearing aid Never wash your hearing aid with water, cleaning solutions or other liquids. Instead, clean your hearing aid with a dry soft cloth after use. When the hearing aid is not in use, it is a good idea to leave the battery drawer open, so as to ventilate the hearing aid and allow it to dry.

• Page 24
  The earmould Make sure that your ear- mould is clean and free of earwax and moisture. If it is plugged, clear the opening with a wax removing tool. Disconnect the plastic tubing from the hook of the hearing aid at least once a week and wash the ear- mould in lukewarm water.

• Page 25: The Earmould

  If there is still moisture in the earmould the next time you want to use the hear- ing aid, use a small blow- er or the like to blow it dry. Never use alcohol or other cleaning solutions to clean your earmould.

• Page 26: Caring For Your Hearing Aid

  • When not in use, do not expose your hearing aid to extreme temperatures or high humidity. • In environments with high humidity, a Widex drying kit may be used daily to reduce the amount of mois- ture inside the hearing aid. See the instructions en- closed with the Widex drying kit.

• Page 27
  Radiation from, for example, room surveillance equipment, bur- glar alarms, and cellular telephones is weaker and will not damage your hearing aid. • Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in mines or other areas with explosive gases.

• Page 28: Good Advice

  Good advice • The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumu- lation of earwax. Contact your ENT doctor/physician if you suspect that a plug of earwax has accumulat- ed in your ear. Earwax may not only reduce your own hearing but also the effect of the hearing aid consid- erably.

• Page 29
  • Please be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid/earmould 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 recommend that you take out your hearing aid/ earmould at night to allow the ear canal to be venti- lated.
