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.
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.
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.
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 hear­ing 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. Fol­lowing 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.

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.
Follow these steps to turn o wireless mode:
1. For each hearing aid, open and close (open-close, open-close, open-close) the battery door three times within a 10-second period.
2. Double-dings for ten seconds ( etc.) indicate that your hearing aid has entered Flight mode.
Follow these steps to activate Wireless mode:
1. For each hearing aid, open and close the battery door once.
2. Your hearing aids are in wireless mode after 10 seconds.
NOTE: Both hearing aids must be set in Flight mode - even with synchronisation enabled.
i
NOTE: It is important to wait an additional 15 seconds after wireless function resumes before opening and closing the battery door again for any reason. Flight mode will resume if you open and close the battery door during this 15-second window.
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 popula­tion 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 pa­tients 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 tin­nitus management programmes to relieve suering from tinnitus.
24 25
Page 14
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.
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 neu­tral 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 tem­porary relief by introducing a more pleasant and controllable sound source.
If your tinnitus troubles you only in quiet environments, your doctor, audiologist or hearing care profes­sional 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.
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.
26 27
Page 15
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.
NOTE: To use smartphone apps, the hearing aid must be connected with the smartphone or
i
mobile device.

9.3.3 i Prescription use of a Tinnitus Sound Generator hearing aid
The TSG module should be used as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare profes­sional. 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, head­aches, perceived decrease in wor older. However, children and physically or mentally challenged users will require training by a doctor, audiologist, hearing healthcare professional or the guardian for the insertion and removal of the hearing instrument containing the TSG module.
28 29
Page 16
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 otolaryngolo­gists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists.
The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may aect tin­nitus 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 i Tinnitus 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 them­selves injury (especially children and pets).
3. Sound generators can be dangerous if improperly used.
9.4.1 i Tinnitus 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 vol­ume 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 i Tinnitus 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.
30 31
Page 17
7. Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
8. Pain or discomfort in the ear.
CAUTION: The maximum output of the sound generator falls into the range that can cause
i
32 33
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.
10 The receiver
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/ear­mould 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.
21
Page 18
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.

15 i General warnings
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 mo­mentarily 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 certi­fied 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 fit­ting 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 emis­sion 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, SpeedLink).

18 i Battery warnings
Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be disposed of carefully in the interest of your safety and for the environment. Please note:
1. Keep batteries away from pets, children and mentally challenged persons.
2. DO NOT place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been swal­lowed, as they can be harmful to your health.
3. Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not specifically designated as recharge­able because they may leak or explode.
4. DO NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.
5. Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local regula­tions or return them to your hearing care professional.
WARNING: BATTERIES MAY LEAK. REMOVE THE BATTERY IF YOU LEAVE THE HEARING AIDS
i
UNUSED FOR LONGER PERIODS.
WARNING: DO NOT RECHARGE ZINC AIR BATTERIES – THEY MAY LEAK OR EXPLODE.
19 i Hearing aid expectations
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. Consistent use of the hearing aid is recommended. In most cases, infrequent use does not permit you to attain full benefit from it.
The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing rehabilitation and may need to be supplemented by audi­tory training and instructions in lip-reading.
i
WARNING: ZINC AIR BATTERIES CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH: CONSULT A PHYSICIAN
i
IMMEDIATELY IF A BATTERY HAS BEEN SWALLOWED. DO NOT PLACE ZINC AIR BATTERIES IN YOUR MOUTH. KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN, MENTALLY DISABLED PERSONS, AND PETS.
WARNING: IF THE BATTERIES ARE NOT INSERTED CORRECTLY, THE DEVICE WILL NOT WORK
i
AND THE BATTERIES MAY BUILD UP HEAT. IF THIS HAPPENS, PLEASE REMOVE THE BATTERIES.

Page 23
20 i Warning to hearing aid professionals (US Only)
A hearing care professional should advise a prospective hearing aid user to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before dispensing a hearing aid if the hearing aid 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 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz.
7. Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
8. Pain or discomfort in the ear.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written statement that states that your hearing loss has been medically evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing care professional, as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation. The audiologist or hearing care professional will conduct a hearing aid evalua­tion to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or hearing care professional to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs. If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option programme. Many hearing care professionals now oer programmes that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to those individuals who have obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its use is strongly discouraged.
21 i Important notice for prospective hearing aid users (US Only)
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otolo­gists or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treat­able conditions that may aect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.
22 i Children with hearing loss (US Only)
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause problems in language development and the educational and social growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
