Getting the Most from Your Hearing Aid Key #1 — Patience Your satisfaction with Hearing Aids depends on the type and degree of your hearing loss and your expectations. No hearing aids will restore the normal hearing of youth, including those costing thousands of dollars. New hearing aids can be a big adjustment. Your brain has to re-learn how to hear and listen. After many years of not hearing well, it takes time and practice to redevelop these skills.
Key #2 — Fit Key #3 — Balance Hearing Aids, no matter how expensive, are almost useless if they don’t fit well. Without a proper fit, it is impossible to reap the full benefit of your investment. We are born with two ears for balance. It is best to maintain balance while treating hearing loss.
Important Battery Information Low Battery Warning Battery Type: When the battery voltage nears the end of its life, the MDHearingAid AIR will provide a low battery warning signal. The initial warning will be three sets of double beeps. At this point, the hearing aid is still functioning, but it is recommended that the battery be replaced as soon as possible. The MDHearingAid® AIR uses size 13/13A zinc-air batteries.
Maintenance & Care Suggestions In Case of Malfunction Follow these tips to keep your MDHearingAid AIR performing optimally: Should your Hearing Aid not function properly, try the following: • Wipe your Hearing Aid daily with a tissue or soft cloth. Water, alcohol, or other liquid agents will damage it. 1. Make sure the Hearing Aid is switched on. ® • Keep your ears clean to maximize the benefit of your MDHearingAid ® AIR. Earwax can clog up AIR Tubing.
Troubleshooting 1. Instrument makes a whistling sound. • Whistling (feedback) occurs when amplified sound returns to the microphone and is re-amplified. Most hearing aids (even ones costing thousands of dollars) will whistle when not inserted properly in the ear canal. • Lower the volume if it is set too high, and try using a non-vented Closed Ear Dome. • Clean any wax from the AIR Tubing that may be interfering with the Hearing Aid.
2. The sound is distorted or intermittent. 3. Instrument has a weak or no sound. • If the hearing aid were in a humid environment or subject to sweat, moisture may clog the aid and distort sounds. Consider using a hearing aid dehumidifier overnight. • Make sure the Hearing Aid is on. The Volume Dial should be set above the number 1. • Reposition the AIR Tubing and Ear Dome in your ear canal. • Make sure battery is fresh. If there is any doubt, try a new battery.
