3. Getting Started
Before using the charger for your hearing aids, it is recommended to ensure the charger itself is adequately charged. The charger contains a built-in lithium-ion battery that allows it to charge your hearing aids multiple times without being plugged into a power source.
3.1 Initial Charging of the Charger
Connect the provided power supply cable to the charger and plug it into a power socket. The indicator lights on the charger will show its charging status. Once fully charged, the charger can provide at least 3 full charges to your hearing aids before needing to be recharged itself.

4. Using the Charger
To charge your GN ReSound rechargeable hearing aids, follow these steps:
- Placement: Simply place your GN ReSound rechargeable hearing aids into the designated charging bays. Ensure they are correctly seated in the color-coordinated slots (blue for left, red for right).
- Charging Process: The charger can be plugged into a power socket or used on its internal battery for convenient charging at home or while traveling.
- Indicator Lights: The indicator light on your hearing aids will blink during charging. The hearing aids are fully charged when the indicator light stops blinking and remains on. The light will stay on until your hearing aid is removed from the charger.
A full charge typically takes approximately 3 hours. Once fully charged, your hearing aids can provide up to 30 hours of use, or 24 hours with 12 hours of audio streaming.
