With a little practice, you will soon be on your way to better hearing. Your hearing instrument has been programmed to fit your hearing and communication needs. Please read the entire contents of this booklet before using your hearing instruments. It contains instructions and important information about the use and handling of your hearing instruments and batteries. With proper use and care, your hearing instrument will improve your connection with the world around you. 08 SonIc FLIP General Warnings and Safety Guidelines Familiarize yourself completely with the following general warnings and safety guidelines before using your hearing instruments:
Hearing instruments and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or improperly used. Such actions can result in severe injury, permanent hearing loss or even fatality. Hearing instruments should be used only as directed and adjusted by your trained hearing care provider. Misuse or improper adjustments can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss. Hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing or prevent hearing loss resulting from organic conditions. Never allow others to wear your hearing instruments. They are adjusted for your hearing requirements and may permanently damage another persons hearing. Avoid wearing your hearing instrument while playing contact sports (e.g. rugby, football etc.), since a strike to the ear could be harmful. FLIP USer gUIde 09 Be aware that use of a hearing instrument may cause excess earwax to build up in the ear canal which may require removal by a trained medical professional. Clean your hearing instruments and their parts on a regular basis as recommended. Micro-organisms from unclean instruments may cause skin irritations. In rare cases, a hearing instrument or earmold may cause a discharge from the ear or allergic reaction. See a physician immediately if these conditions occur. An earmold is a custom-made product. If you experience discomfort or irritation of your ear, please see your hearing care provider immediately for modification of the earmold. Hearing instruments, their parts and batteries should be kept out of reach of infants, children and anyone who might swallow these items or otherwise cause themselves injury. Take care when changing and discarding batteries to keep them out of reach of infants, children, persons of mental incapacity or pets. Be careful with leaking battery liquid, as it is a hazardous substance. 10 SonIc FLIP Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth, as they could easily be swallowed. Keep batteries away from medications, since they can easily be mistaken for pills. In the event that a battery or hearing instrument is swallowed, see a doctor immediately. Be aware of the possibility that your hearing instruments may stop functioning without notice. Keep this in mind while you circulate in traffic or otherwise depend on warning sounds. Traffic or other warning sounds may also be reduced in level by a directional microphone when these sounds are coming from behind you. Never insert cleaning tools into the microphone inlet or deeply into the sound outlet. This could damage the hearing instruments. FLIP USer gUIde 11 Caution!
Warning to Hearing Care Provider and Patient. Special care should be taken when fitting and using a hearing instrument with maximum sound pressure capability in excess of 132 dB SPL (IEC 711) since there may be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the patient. 12 SonIc FLIP Hearing Expectations Set Appropriate Expectations It is important that you have the right expectations regarding your hearing instruments. Hearing instruments will give you better hearing, but they are not a cure for hearing loss. People whose expectations are too high (I thought they would make my hearing normal) are likely to be disappointed and may give up. Hearing Instruments Can:
Help you hear and understand better in most situations. Allow you to participate more in group situations and meetings. Hearing Instruments Cannot:
Give you normal hearing. Hearing Instruments May Not:
Let you hear very soft sounds. Block ALL background noises especially in noisy situations. Even people without hearing loss may have difficulty hearing in the presence of background noise. FLIP USer gUIde 13 Be Patient Unlike eyeglasses which correct your vision as soon as you first put them on, hearing instruments need some time for proper adjustment. It may take several weeks or months to completely adjust to your hearing instruments, so try to be patient. Initially, try different listening situations, such as one-on-one conversations with family and friends and conversations with two or three people at home or in quiet settings. Also, try having conversations in noisier places like parties, restaurants, meetings, and outdoors. Do not forget that some situations are simply too noisy in general even for people without hearing loss. So do not get discouraged. Consistent use of your hearing instrument is strongly recommended. In most cases, infrequent use does not allow you to obtain the full benefit from your device. The use of a hearing instrument is only a part of total hearing rehabilitation, and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and instruction in speech reading. 14 SonIc FLIP Your Flip miniRIC Hearing Instrument 1 2 3 4 6 5 7 8 1 Rear Microphone 2 Program Button 3 Front Microphone 4 Receiver Tube 5 Volume Control Wheel 6 Receiver 7 Sound Outlet 8 Retention Lock Note!

Your hearing care provider will tell you if this feature is enabled. Your hearing instrument may also have a power on delay. This allows you to insert the instrument before it is fully active. To prolong battery life, turn off your hearing instrument when not in use. 18 SonIc FLIP Putting ON Your Hearing Instrument First, position the hearing instrument over the top of your ear. Grasp the bend of the receiver tube and gently push the sound dome or earmold into your ear canal until the tube rests against the side of your head. When the sound dome is placed appropriately, you should not be able to see the receiver unit sticking out when you look directly into a mirror. If the sound tube is sticking out from your ear, insert the dome or earmold further. Use your finger to push the retention lock comfortably into the bowl of your ear. FL_ILLU_MNR_PutHearingAidonEar1_BW_HI FL_ILLU_MNR_PutHearingAidonEar2_BW_HI FL_ILLU_MNR_PutHearingAidonEar3_BW_HI FLIP USer gUIde 19 Taking OFF Your Hearing Instrument To remove your hearing instrument, hold the receiver unit and gently pull the sound dome or earmold out of your ear canal. Lift the hearing instrument case from behind your ear. Open the battery compartment to turn off the device. Important! Do not remove the instrument by pulling on the hearing instrument case. This might disconnect the device from the receiver unit. Should the sound dome become separated from the receiver unit and remain lodged in your ear canal after removal of the hearing instrument, do not attempt to remove the sound dome yourself. Seek immediate care from your hearing care provider or physician. 20 SonIc FLIP Changing the Volume Your hearing instruments are programmed to be at a comfortable volume level for your hearing loss. They are designed to automatically adjust to changes in the sound environment. You should only need to make small volume changes to get a natural and comfortable sound. In order to make these small changes, your hearing instrument has a volume control that allows you to turn up or turn down the volume when needed. Rotate the volume control wheel up to turn up the volume as needed. If you need to lower the volume, slowly turn the volume control wheel down. Your hearing instrument may play a series of beeps when you have reached the maximum or minimum volume. You may also hear soft clicks as you turn the wheel, indicating small changes in your instruments volume settings. Rotate up to increase volume Rotate down to decrease volume Volume Control Wheel FLIP USer gUIde 21 Important! If the volume of your hearing instrument is too loud or soft when the volume control is all the way up, your hearing care provider may need to make changes to your listening program. Note! Your hearing instruments automatically return to a pre-set loudness level when they are powered on, when the battery is low, or when the program is changed. If you find that you frequently need to turn the volume up or down, your hearing care provider may need to adjust your settings. 22 SonIc FLIP Changing the Programs Your hearing instrument can be configured with multiple listening programs. Please see inside the front cover of this User Guide to find out which program(s) have been configured by your hearing care provider. You can change programs as follows:
Program Button A long press (about 2 seconds) on the program button will cause the listening program to change. You will hear the same number of beeps as the program you are in each time you push the button. When you turn the hearing instrument off and then on, it will automatically return to your default listening program
(program 1). RC-P Remote Control or SoundGate
(optional accessories) The listening program can be changed with either of these devices. Please see pages 39 and 40 for instructions. FLIP USer gUIde 23 Program Button Mute A longer press (about 5 seconds) on the program button will cause the hearing instrument to mute, no matter which program you are in. Press the button again to un-mute the device. Note! Your hearing care provider can custom-
ize the behavior of the program button. Please see inside the front cover to find out how your control may have been configured. Program Button 24 SonIc FLIP Using the Telephone Phonecoil Your hearing instrument has a Phonecoil option that has the ability to pick up just the sounds coming from a hearing instrument compatible telephone. Your hearing care provider can program your hearing instrument to take advantage of this option. Refer to the chart on the inside cover of this User Guide to determine the listening program that uses the Phone-
coil feature. When you have moved to the Phonecoil/
telephone program, place the telephone handset lightly against your ear. Adjust the handset slightly up and/or back to find the position that gives the best sound. Note! Not all telephones are compatible with the Phonecoil in your hearing instruments. Auto Telephone Your hearing instrument has an Auto Telephone feature. When the hearing instrument is close to a telephone receiver, the Auto Telephone will activate your telephone listening program. When you end your conversation, the hearing instrument will auto-
matically return to the previous listening program. FLIP USer gUIde 25 Your hearing care provider can configure your hear-
ing instruments to allow answering the phone on both ears or on your preferred ear. Flip100 Only If you have a preferred ear, the hearing instrument on the opposite side can be programmed to sound softer or mute when the Auto Telephone is active. Refer to the information inside the front cover to find out how your hearing instruments are configured. Note! Some telephones may need a special magnet added to help engage the Auto Tele-
phone feature. To mount the magnet onto your telephone, please follow the instructions included in the magnets packaging or contact your hearing care provider. 26 SonIc FLIP Phone Usage Tips Hold the receiver close to the microphone inlet of your hearing instrument. If this causes whistling, move the receiver away a small distance. If voices over the telephone are too soft or back-
ground noise is a problem, use your Phonecoil program. Be aware that not all phones are Phonecoil compatible. Mobile phones may cause interference with the Phonecoil. In this case, the microphone mode will give a better result. Before purchasing a mobile phone, test it with your hearing instrument. People with a greater degree of hearing loss may need a volume control on the telephone. Note! If your hearing instrument has been configured without these options, select the program that is best for you when using the telephone. Then position the phone lightly against your ear as described above. FLIP USer gUIde 27 Magnet Warning Keep magnets out of reach of children and pets. If a magnet is swallowed, see a doctor immediately. Do not wear the magnet in a breast pocket and keep it 1 ft (30 cm) away from pacemakers and other active implants. Use the magnet on the opposite side from active implantable devices. Keep the magnet 1 ft (30 cm) away from credit cards or other magnetically sensitive items. 28 SonIc FLIP Changing the Battery When the battery is low, your hearing instrument will beep at regular intervals. You should be prepared to replace the battery. The time until the hearing instruments stop working depends on the battery type and manufacturer. Mercury-free batteries generally cause earlier warning beeps. Change Batteries Regularly When your battery needs to be changed you will hear three beeps: a low tone, followed by a high tone and another low tone. The exact battery life you experience may vary, but you should expect approximately 238 hours of total hearing instrument use per battery. Important! Never force the battery drawer open or closed. FLIP USer gUIde 29 Remove the Old Battery Before changing the battery, wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. Open the battery compartment fully, by grasping the instrument and by pulling upwards on the battery door catch (see page 16). Turn the instrument on its side and gently shake the battery out into your hand. Be careful not to lose the battery. Insert a New Battery Remove the sticker from a new battery. Place it into the battery compartment with the flat, smooth side facing up (+ sign). Close the battery door securely. 30 SonIc FLIP Important Battery Information Battery life will vary with conditions of use
(for example, batteries will run down faster in noisy environments). Always keep spare batteries on hand. A used battery should be replaced immediately. If you are not going to use your hearing instruments for a few days, remove the batteries. Any moisture found on a battery should be wiped off immediately with a soft cloth. Always remove zinc-air batteries before drying your hearing instrument with a drying kit. Drying out zinc-air batteries shortens their lifetime. Used batteries should be returned to your battery supplier or hearing care provider for safe disposal. Never dispose of batteries by burning them. They may explode and cause injury. FLIP USer gUIde 31 Never dispose of batteries with household waste. They cause environmental pollution. Batteries can be harmful if swallowed. Keep batteries out of the reach of pets and small children. In case of ingestion, contact your physician immediately. 32 SonIc FLIP Audible Indicators Event Start Up Delay Power On Listening Program Change*

*Audible Indicators can be heard in the opposite hearing instrument if the Volume Control and Program Change Synchronize feature is activated in the fitting software. Refer to the Owner Information in the inside cover to see how your devices are customized. FLIP USer gUIde 33 Data Logging and Learning Data Logging The data log automatically stores information about your use of your hearing instruments such as program changes, hours of wear, etc. This information can be used by your hearing care provider to adjust your hearing instruments. If you do not want this feature to be active, please ask your hearing care provider to turn it off. Data Learning (Flip100) When data learning is operating, the hearing instrument keeps track of how often and how much you adjust the volume and learns your preferred setting. This new setting can be made permanent during your follow-up visit. 34 SonIc FLIP Caring for Your Hearing Instruments Healthy ears produce cerumen, a waxy substance that can clog your hearing instruments. Please follow these cleaning instructions to prevent wax build-up and ensure optimal performance. Every Night Check your hearing instruments for ear wax and wipe them clean with a cloth or tissue. Use the cleaning tool provided to remove wax that may have accumulated in the wax guard or vent opening if you have a custom earmold. Open the battery door fully to allow air to circulate. A dry storage kit is recommended to remove any moisture that may have accumulated in the hearing instrument. FLIP USer gUIde 35 Avoid Heat, Humidity and Chemicals Do not expose your hearing instruments to extreme heat by leaving them in the car, near a radiator, etc. Avoid exposing your hearing instruments to moisture
(e.g. steambaths, showers, heavy rain, etc.) Never attempt to dry your hearing instruments with a hair dryer, microwave oven, etc. Remove your hearing instruments before applying aftershave, hairspray, oils, perfume, mosquito repellent, lotions, etc. Allow drying time before wearing your hearing instruments. Protect your hearing instruments by keeping them in the case when you are not wearing them. Consult your physician if excessive earwax, skin irritation, or a foreign object prevents you from wearing your hearing instrument. 36 SonIc FLIP The Receiver Unit and Sound Dome Never expose the receiver unit or sound dome to water. It will damage the electronics of the hearing instrument. It is important that the receiver unit and the sound dome fit correctly into your ear. If the receiver unit or the sound dome irritates your ear in any way and prevents you from wearing your hearing instrument, please contact your hearing care provider. It is recommended that you have your hearing care provider change the sound domes for you when they become stiff, brittle or unclean. If your hearing care provider instructs you to change the sound domes yourself, make sure that they are securely fastened to the receiver unit before you insert them in your ear. A failure to change the sound domes in accordance with the following instructions could result in personal injury. Receiver Tube Receiver Housing Sound Dome FLIP USer gUIde 37 Changing the Sound Dome The sound dome should be changed regularly. The frequency of dome changes will depend on how fast it loses pliability or ear wax builds up on the dome. Spare domes can be obtained from your hearing care provider. Remove the old dome by pulling it off the end of the receiver housing. With clean fingers, push a new dome as far as possible onto the receiver housing. When attached correctly, the dome should touch the plastic ring around the sound tube. FL_ILLU_MNR_Dome1_BW_HI FL_ILLU_MNR_DomeAttaching1_BW_HI Caution! If the dome is not securely attached to the receiver, it could fall off in your ear canal. If this happens, please see your medical practitioner. FL_ILLU_MNR_DomeAttaching2_BW_HI 38 SonIc FLIP Replacing the Wax Guard Your hearing instrument uses the NoWax system to protect the hearing instrument from earwax. Wax guards can either be replaced by you or by your hearing care provider. 1 Remove the Dome 2 Take a new removal tool 3 Insert the removal prong into the old wax guard 4 Extract the old wax guard 5 Insert the new wax guard 6 Pull out the removal tool 7 Replace the dome Discard the removal tool and old wax guard FLIP USer gUIde 39 Operating Your Flip with the RC-P Remote Control Optional Accessory If you have purchased a remote control, you can use it to change listening programs, adjust the volume level up and down, or mute the hearing instruments.

Help to protect the environment by not disposing of your hearing instruments or batteries with your unsorted household waste. Please recycle your hearing instruments and batteries according to your local regulations or return them to your hearing care provider for disposal. 42 SonIc FLIP Product Approval, Markings and Compliance All Sonic hearing instruments comply with internation-
al standards concerning electromagnetic compatibility. Due to the limited space available on the hearing instruments all relevant approval markings are found in this document. Electromagnetic Interference Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly tested for electromagnetic interference. However, some products may emit electromagnetic energy causing unforeseen interference with hearing instruments. Examples include induction cooking appliances, shop alarm systems, mobile phones, fax machines, personal computers, X-rays, CT scans, etc. Even though your hearing instruments are designed to comply with the most stringent international standards of electromagnetic compatibility, they may emit electromagnetic energy that can cause interference with other devices. Your hearing instruments contain a radio transmit-
ter using short range magnetic induction technology working at 3.84 MHz. The magnetic field strength of the transmitter is < 42 dBA/m @ 10 m. FLIP USer gUIde 43 The electromagnetic emission from the radio system is well below international limits for human exposure. By comparison, the electromagnetic energy of the hearing instruments is lower than that generated by household items such as halogen lamps, computer monitors, dishwashers etc. 44 SonIc FLIP Cell Phone and Hearing Instrument Compatibility Some hearing instrument users have reported a buzzing sound in their devices when they are using cell phones, indicating that the cell phone and hearing instrument may not be compatible. The compatibility of a particular hearing instrument and cell phone can be predicted by adding the rating for the hearing instrument immunity to the rating for the cell phone emissions (ANSI C63.19-2006 American National Standard Methods of Measurement of Compatibility between Wireless Communication Devices and Hearing Aids). For example, the sum of a hearing instrument with a rating of 2 (M2/T2) and a telephone with a rating of 3 (M3/T3) would result in a combined rating of 5. According to the standard, any combined rating that equals at least 5 would provide normal use;
a combined rating of 6 or greater would indicate excellent performance. FLIP USer gUIde 45 The immunity of your Flip hearing instrument is at least M2/T2. The equipment performance measurements, categories and system classifications are based upon the best information available but Sonic Innovations cannot guarantee that all users will be satisfied. Note! The performance of individual hear-
ing instruments may vary with individual cell phones. Please try this hearing instrument with your cell phone or, if you are purchasing a new phone, be sure to try it with your hearing instrument prior to purchase. For additional guidance, please ask your cell phone provider for the booklet entitled Hearing Aid Compatibility with Digital Wireless Cell Phones. 46 SonIc FLIP Warranty and Repairs Your hearing instruments have a limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty covers the hearing instruments themselves, but not accessories such as batteries, tubing, domes, earmolds, etc. This warranty is void if a defect is the result of misuse or mistreatment. The warranty is also void if the hear-
ing instruments have been repaired by nonauthorized service personnel. Please review the warranty with your hearing care provider and make sure that your warranty card is completed correctly. Note! Your hearing care provider may charge a service fee for processing warranty repairs. Accessories Sonic offers a wide range of optional accessories that may be purchased to enhance your hearing system. Depending on hearing instrument type and local regulations, the following accessories are available:
