1 Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new hearing aids. ReSound’s innovative sound technology and
design, combined with the customized programming selected by your hearing care professional, will
make hearing a more enjoyable experience.
Please read this manual carefully in order to wholly benefit from the use of your hearing aids. With
proper care, maintenance, and usage, your hearing aids will serve you in better communication for many
years.
Ask your hearing care professional if you have any questions.
2 Intended use
Generic air-conduction hearing aids are wearable sound-amplifying devices intended to compensate for
impaired hearing. The fundamental operating principle of hearing aids is to receive, amplify, and transfer
sound to the eardrum of a hearing impaired person.
3 Becoming accustomed to amplification
While purchasing a hearing aid is a major step, it is only one step in a process toward more comfortable
hearing. Successfully adapting to the amplification your hearing aid provides takes time and consistent
use.
You will enjoy more benefits from your ReSound hearing aid by taking the following actions:
• Wear the hearing aid regularly in order to get comfortable with using it.
• It takes time to get used to a hearing aid. It may help to begin by wearing your hearing aid for
short periods – even as little as 15 minutes – and then gradually increasing your wearing time. In
a way, it is no dierent from adjusting to contact lenses. Speak to your hearing care professional,
who can design a schedule tailored just for you.
• As you get more comfortable with the hearing aid, increase the wearing time and wear your hear-
ing aid in multiple types of listening environments.
It may take as long as several months for your brain to get used to all the “new” sounds around you. Fol-
lowing these suggestions will give your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and increase
the benefits you get from using a ReSound hearing aid.

3. Remove the earmould completely by gently twisting it.
7.4.3 Insert wire with dome
1. Hang the hearing aid over the top of
the ear.
2. Hold the wire where it bends and gen-
tly place/push the dome into the ear
canal. Push the dome far enough into
the ear canal so that the wire lies flush
with the head (check with a mirror).
iNOTE: To avoid whistling, it is important that the wire and the dome fit correctly into your ear. For
other possible reasons, check with the Troubleshooting guide.
iCAUTION: Never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the wire.
7.4.4 Remove wire with dome
1. Hold the wire with your thumb and forefinger and remove it.

9 Tinnitus Sound Generator module
Your ReSound hearing aid includes the Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module, a tool for generating
sounds to be used in tinnitus management programmes to relieve suering from tinnitus.
The TSG can generate sounds adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs and your personal preference as
determined by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care professional.
Depending on the selected hearing aid programme and the environment you are in, you will sometimes
hear the therapeutic sound resembling a continuous or fluctuating noise.
9.1 Indication for use of the TSG module
The Tinnitus Sound Generator Module is a tool to generate sounds to be used in a Tinnitus Management
Program to relieve patients suering from Tinnitus. The target population is primarily the adult popula-
tion over 18 years of age. This product may also be used with children 5 years of age or older.
The Tinnitus Sound Generator module is targeted for healthcare professionals, which are treating pa-
tients suering from Tinnitus, as well as conventional hearing disorders. The fitting of the Tinnitus Sound
Generator module must be done by a hearing professional participating in a Tinnitus Management
Program.
9.2 User instructions for the TSG module
9.2.1 Description of device
The Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) Module is a software tool that generates sounds to be used in tin-
nitus management programmes to relieve suering from tinnitus.

26 27
9.2.2 Explanation of how the device functions
The TSG module is a frequency and amplitude shaped white-noise generator. Noise signal level and
frequency characteristics can be adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs as determined by your doctor,
audiologist or hearing care professional.
Your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional can modulate the generated noise with the purpose
of making it more pleasant. The noise can then resemble, for example, breaking waves on a shore.
Modulation level and speed can also be configured to your likes and needs. An additional feature can
be enabled by your hearing care professional that allows you to select predefined sounds that simulate
sounds from nature, such as breaking waves or running water.
If you have two wireless hearing aids that support ear-to-ear synchronization, this functionality can be
enabled by your hearing care professional. This will cause the Tinnitus Sound Generator to synchronize
the sound in both hearing aids.
If your tinnitus troubles you only in quiet environments, your doctor, audiologist or hearing care profes-
sional can set the TSG Module so that it becomes audible exclusively in such surroundings. The overall
sound level can be adjusted via a volume control. Your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional
will review with you the need for having such a control.
For hearing aids where ear-to-ear synchronization is enabled your hearing care professional can also
enable environmental monitoring synchronization so that the TSG noise level is automatically adjusted
simultaneously in both hearing aids dependent on the background sound level.
Additionally since the hearing aid has a volume control then the background noise level monitored by
the hearing aid and the volume control can be used simultaneously to adjust the generated noise level in
both hearing aids.
9.2.3 The scientific concepts that form the basis for the device
The TSG module provides sound enrichment with the aim of surrounding the tinnitus sound with a neu-
tral sound, which is easily ignored. Sound enrichment is an important component of most approaches to
tinnitus management, such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT).
To assist habituation to tinnitus, this needs to be audible. The ideal level of the TSG module, therefore,
should be set so that it starts to blend with the tinnitus, and so that you can hear both your tinnitus as
well as the sound used.
In a majority of instances, the TSG module can also be set to mask the tinnitus sound, so to provide tem-
porary relief by introducing a more pleasant and controllable sound source.
9.2.4 TSG volume control
The sound generator is set to a specific loudness level by the hearing care professional. When switching
the sound generator on, the volume will have this optimal setting. Therefore, it might not be necessary to
control the volume (loudness) manually. However, the volume control provides the ability to adjust the
volume, or amount of stimulus, to the liking of the user.
The volume control is an optional feature in the TSG module used for adjusting the sound generator
output level.

28 29
9.2.5 Using TSG with smartphone apps
The tinnitus sound generator control via hearing aid push buttons can be enhanced with wireless control
from a TSG control app on a smartphone or mobile device. This functionality is available in supported
hearing aids when a hearing care professional has enabled the TSG functionality during fitting of the
hearing aid.
i
NOTE: To use smartphone apps, the hearing aid must be connected with the smartphone or
mobile device.

9.3.3 iPrescription use of a Tinnitus Sound Generator hearing aid
The TSG module should be used as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare profes-
sional. In order to avoid permanent hearing damages, the maximum daily usage depends on the level of
the generated sound.
Should you develop any side eects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea, head-
aches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, you should discontinue
use of sound generator and seek medical evaluation.
The target population is primarily the adult population over 18 years of age. This product may also be
used with children 5 years of age or older. However, children and physically or mentally challenged users
will require training by a doctor, audiologist, hearing healthcare professional or the guardian for the inser-
tion and removal of the hearing instrument containing the TSG module.

30 31
9.3.4 Important notice for prospective sound generator users
A tinnitus masker is an electronic device intended to generate noise of sucient intensity and bandwidth
to mask internal noises. It is also used as an aid in hearing external noises and speech.
Good health practice requires that a person with a tinnitus condition have a medical evaluation by a
licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before using a sound
generator. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngolo-
gists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists.
The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may aect tin-
nitus are identified and treated before the sound generator instrument is used.
The sound generator instrument is a tool to generate sounds to be used with appropriate counseling
and/or in a tinnitus management programme to relieve patients suering from tinnitus.
9.4 iTinnitus Sound Generator warnings
1. Sound generators should be used only as advised by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care
professional.
2. Sound generators are not toys and should be kept out of reach of anyone who might cause them-
selves injury (especially children and pets).
3. Sound generators can be dangerous if improperly used.
9.4.1 iTinnitus Sound Generator precautions
1. Should the user develop any side eects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea,
headaches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, the user
should discontinue use of the sound generator and seek medical evaluation.
2. The volume control is a feature in the TSG module used for adjusting the sound generator output
level. To prevent unintended usage by paediatric or physically or mentally disabled users, the vol-
ume control must be configured to only provide a decrease of the sound generator output level.
3. Children and physically or mentally disabled users will require guardian supervision while wearing
the TSG hearing aid.
9.4.2 iTinnitus Sound Generator warning to hearing care professionals
A hearing care professional should advise a prospective sound generator user to consult promptly with a
licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before getting a sound generator.
If the hearing care professional determines through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other
available information concerning the prospective user that the prospective user has any of the following
conditions:
1. Visible, congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
2. History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
3. History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days.
4. Acute or chronic dizziness.
5. Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days.
6. Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 dB at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz.

The receiver delivers the sound to the ear canal. It is important that the receiver and the dome/earmould
fit correctly in your ear. If the receiver or the dome/earmould irritate your ear in any way and prevent you
from wearing your hearing aid, please contact your hearing care professional.
You should never attempt to modify the shape of the receiver yourself. The receiver and the dome/ear-
mould should be cleaned regularly.
11 How to apply domes
It is recommended that your hearing care professional shows you how to change the domes, because
incorrect dome replacement could result in the dome being left in the ear when you remove the hearing
aid.
11.1 Standard domes
Follow these steps to mount domes:
1. Push the new dome over the ribs flange on the wire.
2. Make sure that the new dome is properly and securely mounted.
iCAUTION: The maximum output of the sound generator falls into the range that can cause hearing loss according to OSHA regulations. In accordance with NIOSH recommendations, the
user should not use the sound generator for more than eight (8) hours a day when this is set to
a level of 85 dB SPL or above. When the sound generator is set to levels of 90 dB SPL or above
the user should not use the sound generator for more than two (2) hours per day. In no case
should the sound generator be worn at uncomfortable levels.
7. Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
8. Pain or discomfort in the ear.

11.2 Tulip domes
The Tulip domes are mounted in a similar manner to the ordinary domes, but a few extra steps are
required. The Tulip domes consist of two “petals”.
Follow these steps to mount domes:
1. Push the largest petal away from the wire using a finger. This bends the petal forward.
2. Push the new tulip dome over the flange.
3. Then push the largest petal backwards, and it will be placed on top of the smaller petal.
iNOTE: It is important to verify that the largest petal is the outermost petal.
4. Make sure that the new dome is properly and securely mounted.

1. Consult a hearing care professional if you think there may be a foreign object in your ear canal, if
you experience skin irritation, or if excessive earwax accumulates with the use of the hearing aid.
2. Dierent types of radiation, from e.g. NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing aids. It is
recommended not to wear hearing aids during these or other similar procedures. Other types of
radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile telephones,
contain less energy and will not damage hearing aids. However, they have the potential to mo-
mentarily aect the sound quality or temporarily create undesired sounds from hearing aids.
3. Do not wear hearing aids in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those areas are certi-
fied for hearing aid use.
4. Do not allow others to use your hearing aids.
5. Hearing Aid usage by children or mentally disabled persons should be supervised at all times
to ensure their safety. The hearing aid contains small parts that could be swallowed by children.
Please be mindful not to leave children unsupervised with this hearing aid.
6. Hearing aids should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional. Incorrect use
may result in hearing loss.
7. Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and fit-
ting hearing aids with maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132 dB SPL with an IEC
60711:1981 occluded ear simulator. The remaining hearing may risk further impairment.
8. Turn o your wireless functionality by using the flight mode in areas where radio frequency emis-
sion is prohibited.
9. If a hearing aid is broken, do not use.
10. External devices connected to the electrical input must be safe according to the requirements of
IEC 60601-1, IEC 60065, or IEC 60950-1 , as appropriate (wired connection, for example HI-PRO,
