Battery issues
Rechargeable hearing aid:
- If the light does not turn on when trying to charge, check first if the charger is switched on. It may also be that the hearing aid or charger is too warm or too cold, or that the room temperature exceeds +35°C. Try moving the charger and hearing aid to a cooler or warmer location. See User Guide for optimal temperatures.
- Check that the hearing aid is inserted correctly in the charger. Check for foreign objects in the charging slots.
- If the hearing aid LED blinks red/orange when the hearing aid is placed in the charger it means system error. If this is the case, you should contact your hearing care specialist.
Non-rechargeable hearing aid:
- Clean the drawer and battery with a dry cloth.
- Make sure the battery side that has a + is facing upwards. Close the drawer.
- If this does not work, replace the battery. Remove sticker on the new battery, and make sure to wait 2-3 minutes before inserting it. Carefully insert the battery, and close drawer completely.

On behind-the-ear hearing aids, the inscription is located on the battery drawer.
