Tinnitus
Tinnitus SoundSupport™(optional)
Intended use of Tinnitus SoundSupport
Tinnitus SoundSupport is a tool intended to generate sounds to provide
temporary relief for patients suffering from tinnitus as part of a tinnitus
management program.
The target population is the adult population (over 18 years old).
Tinnitus SoundSupport is targeted to licensed hearing care
professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, or otolaryngologists)
who are familiar with the evaluation and treatment of tinnitus and
hearing loss. Fitting of Tinnitus SoundSupport must be done by a
hearing care professional participating in a tinnitus management
program.
Guidelines for tinnitus sound generator users
These instructions contain information about Tinnitus SoundSupport,
which may have been enabled in your hearing aids by your hearing care
professional.
Tinnitus SoundSupport is a tinnitus management device intended to
generate sound of sufficient intensity and bandwidth to help manage
tinnitus.
Your hearing care professional will also be able to offer the appropriate
follow-up care. It is important to follow his/her advice and directions
regarding such care.
Prescription use only
Good health practice requires that the person reporting tinnitus has
a medical evaluation by a licensed ear physician before using a sound
generator. The purpose of such an evaluation is to ensure that any
medically treatable condition that may cause tinnitus is identified and
treated prior to using a sound generator.

Sound and volume adjustment
Tinnitus SoundSupport is programmed by your hearing care professional
to match your hearing loss and preferences for tinnitus relief. It offers
a number of different sound options. Together with your hearing care
professional, you can select your preferred sound(s).
Tinnitus SoundSupport programs
Together with your hearing care professional, you can decide for which
programs you may want to have Tinnitus SoundSupport activated. The
sound generator can be activated in up to four different programs.
Mute
If you are in a program for which Tinnitus SoundSupport is activated,
the mute functionality will mute only the environmental sounds, and
not the sound from Tinnitus SoundSupport. See chapter: Mute.
Volume adjustments with Tinnitus SoundSupport
When you select a hearing aid program for which Tinnitus SoundSupport
is activated, your hearing care professional can only set the push button
on your hearing aid to work as a volume control for the tinnitus relief
sound.
Your hearing care professional will set the volume control for the sound
generator in one of two ways:
