Guidelines for tinnitus sound generator users

The following 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.

47

Sound options and volume adjustments

Tinnitus SoundSupport is programed 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 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 only mutes the environmental sounds, and not
the sound from Tinnitus SoundSupport. For information on how to mute
your hearing aids, see the Mute your hearing aids section.

48

About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info

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 sets the volume control for the sound
generator in one of two ways:

A) Change volume in each ear separately, or
B) Change volume in both ears simultaneously.

For more information about volume adjustments with Tinnitus
SoundSupport, see the table Tinnitus SoundSupport settings

overview for your hearing aid in the Your individual hearing aid
settings section at the end of this booklet.

49

Limitation on use time

Daily use

The volume levels of Tinnitus SoundSupport can be set to a level
which could lead to permanent hearing damage when used for a
prolonged period of time. Your hearing care professional will advise
you of the maximum amount of time per day you should use Tinnitus
SoundSupport. It should never be used at uncomfortable levels.

See the table Tinnitus SoundSupport: Limitation on use, in the Your
individual hearing aid settings section at the end of this booklet to
learn how many hours per day you can safely use the relief sound in your
hearing aid.

in the Buttons & Indicators screen. This occurs if the relief sound can
be listened to at levels that may cause hearing damage.

The Max wearing time table in the fitting software displays the number
of hours the patient can safely use Tinnitus SoundSupport.

1. Be aware and note down the maximum wearing time for each
program for which Tinnitus SoundSupport is activated.

Tinnitus SoundSupport warnings

If your hearing care professional has
activated the sound generator Tinnitus
SoundSupport, ensure you pay attention to
the following warnings.

There are some potential concerns
associated with the use of any sound
generated by a tinnitus management
device. Among them are the potential
worsening of tinnitus, and/or a possible
change in hearing thresholds.

Should you experience or notice a change
in hearing or tinnitus, or any dizziness,
nausea, headaches, heart palpitations,
or possible skin irritation at the point
of contact with the device, you should
immediately discontinue use of the device
and consult a medical, audiology, or other
hearing care professional.

As with any device, misuse of the sound
generator feature may cause potentially
harmful effects. Care should be taken to
prevent unauthorized use and to keep the
device out of reach of children and pets.

Maximum wearing time

Always follow the maximum wearing time
per day of the Tinnitus SoundSupport
advised by your hearing care professional.
Prolonged use may lead to worsening of
your tinnitus or of your hearing loss.

53

General warnings

For your personal safety and to ensure
correct usage, you should familiarize
yourself fully with the following general
warnings before using your hearing aid.

Consult your hearing care professional if
you experience unexpected operations
or serious incidents with your hearing
aid during use or because of its use. Your
hearing care professional will support
you with issue handling and, if relevant,
reporting to the manufacturer and/or the
national authorities.

Please note that a hearing aid will not
restore normal hearing and will not prevent
or improve a hearing impairment resulting
from organic conditions. Hearing aid is only
a part of hearing habilitation and may need
to be supplemented by auditory training
and instruction in lipreading. Furthermore,
note that in most cases, infrequent use of a
hearing aid does not permit a user to attain
full benefit from it.

54

About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info

aid, as incorrect usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.

Choking hazards and risk of swallowing
small parts

Hearing aids and their parts should be kept
out of reach of children and anyone who
might swallow these items or otherwise
cause injury to themselves.

If a hearing aid or small part is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.

The safety of recharging batteries using
a USB connector is determined by the
external signal source. When connected
to external equipment plugged into a
power socket, this equipment must comply
with IEC 62368-1 or equivalent safety
standards.

Dysfunction

Be aware of the possibility that your
hearing aid may stop working without
notice. Keep this in mind when you depend
on warning sounds (e.g. when you are
in traffic). The hearing aids may stop
functioning, for instance if the batteries
have expired or if the tubing is blocked by
moisture or earwax.

Active implants

The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested and characterized for human health
according to international standards for
human exposure (Specific Absorption Ratio

- SAR), induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body.

The exposure values are well below
internationally accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body defined
in the standards for human health
and coexistence with active medical
implants such as pacemakers and heart
defibrillators.

If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer of your
implantable device for information about
the risk of interference.

The AutoPhone or MultiTool (which has a
built-in magnet) should be kept more than
30 centimeters (1 foot) away from the
implant, e.g. do not carry it in your breast
pocket.

Follow the guidelines recommended by the
manufacturers of implantable defibrillators
and pacemakers regarding their use with
magnets.

Detached earpiece in ear canal

If the earpiece is not on the speaker
when removed from the ear, the earpiece
may still be in the ear canal. For further
instructions, consult your hearing care
professional.

X-ray/CT/MR/PET scanning,
electrotherapy and surgery

Remove your hearing aid before X-ray, CT/
MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy, surgery,
etc. as your hearing aid may be damaged
when exposed to electromagnetic fields.

Power instrument

Special care should be exercised in
selecting, fitting and using a hearing
aid where the maximum sound pressure
capability exceeds 132 dB SPL
(IEC 60138-4/IEC 711), as there may
be risk of impairing the remaining hearing
of the hearing aid user.

For information on whether your hearing
aid is a power instrument, see the model
overview.

Possible side effects

Hearing aids and earpieces may cause an
accelerated accumulation of earwax.

The non-allergenic materials used in
hearing aids may in rare cases cause a skin
irritation or other side effects.

Please seek consultation with a physician
if these conditions occur.

Use on aircraft

Your hearing aid uses Bluetooth. On board
an aircraft, the hearing aid must be put
into flight mode to deactivate Bluetooth,
unless Bluetooth is permitted by the flight
personnel.

Use of third-party accessories

Only use accessories, transducers or
cables supplied by the manufacturer. Non­original accessories may result in reduced
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of
your device.

Modification of hearing aids is not
allowed

Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer will void the
warranty of the equipment.

Interference

The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested for interference according to the
most stringent international standards.

Electromagnetic interference may occur in
the vicinity of equipment with the symbol
to the left. Portable and mobile RF (radio
frequency) communications equipment
can affect the performance of your hearing
aid. If your hearing aid is affected by
electromagnetic interference, move away
from the source to reduce the interference.

Distracted user

Using your hearing aid can distract you.
Be aware of your surroundings while
using your hearing aid. Please refer to
national traffic laws regarding the use of
communication devices while in traffic.

General warnings

Warning to hearing care professional

A hearing care professional should advise
a prospective hearing aid user to consult
immediately with a licensed physician
(preferably an ear specialist) before
dispensing a hearing aid 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:

(i) Visible congenital or traumatic

(ii) History of active drainage from

60

About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info

deformity of the ear.

the ear within the previous
90 days.

(iii) History of sudden or rapidly

progressive hearing loss within
the previous 90 days.

(iv) Acute or chronic dizziness.

(v) Unilateral hearing loss of sudden

or recent onset within the
previous 90 days.

(vi) Audiometric air-bone gap equal

to or greater than 15 decibels at
500 Hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and
2,000 Hz.

(vii) Visible evidence of significant

cerumen accumulation or a
foreign body in the ear canal.

(viii) Pain or discomfort in the ear.

Special care should be exercised in selecting
and fitting a hearing aid whose maximum
sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB
SPL as there may be risk of impairing the

remaining hearing of the hearing aid user.

Important notice for prospective hearing
aid users

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 ensure that all
medically treatable conditions that may
affect hearing are identified and treated
before the hearing aid is purchased.
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 aid dispenser, as
appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation.

Continues on next page

61

General warnings

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 dispenser
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 program.
Many hearing care professionals now offer
programs 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 limits
the sale of hearing aids to those individuals
who have obtained a medical evaluation
from a licensed physician.

62

About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info

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. A hearing aid
will not restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. A hearing
aid is only part of hearing rehabilitation and
may need to be supplemented by auditory
training and lip reading.

Children with hearing loss

In addition to seeing a physician for 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 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. If the user is an infant,
small child, or person of mental incapacity,
it is recommended that the hearing aid be
modified with a tamper-resistant battery
compartment.

71

Mobile phone

Some hearing aid users have reported a
buzzing sound in their hearing aid when they
are using mobile phones, indicating that the
mobile phone and hearing aid may not be
compatible.

The ANSI C63.19 standard determines the
prediction of compatibility between a specic
hearing aid and a mobile phone by: adding the
numerical value of the rating for the hearing
aid immunity to the numerical value of the
rating for the mobile phone emissions. A sum
of 4 would indicate that the combination of
wireless device and hearing aid is usable; a
combined rating that equals at least 5 would
provide normal use; a combined rating of 6 or
greater would indicate excellent performance.

72

About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info

Whereas all hearing aids have acoustic
coupling, only the larger hearing aids have the
physical space for telecoil (inductive) coupling.
These two types of coupling have different
rating scales (M1-M4 for acoustic coupling
and T1-T4 for telecoil coupling, respectively)
and both ratings are therefore relevant when
predicting the compatibility of a particular
hearing aid.

For a hearing aid with both acoustic coupling
and telecoil coupling with a rating of M4/
T2 and with a telephone rating of M3/T3),
the combined rating is 7 (M4 + M3) for the
acoustic coupling and 5 (T2 + T3) for the
telecoil coupling. According to the guidelines
given above, both types of coupling will
thereby be acceptable, with the acoustic
coupling indicating excellent performance and
the telecoil coupling indicating normal use.

The above equipment performance
measurements, categories and system
classifications are based upon the best
information available, but it cannot be
guaranteed that all users will be satisfied.

The immunity of miniRITE is at least M2. The
immunity of miniRITE T is at least M2/T2.
The equipment performance measurements,
categories and system classifications are
based upon the best information available
but cannot guarantee that all users will be
satisfied.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The performance of individual hearing aids may vary with individual mobile
phones. Therefore, please try this hearing aid with your mobile phone or, if
you are purchasing a new phone, be sure to try it with your hearing aid prior
to purchase. For additional guidance, please ask your mobile phone provider
for the booklet entitled “Hearing Aid Compatibility with Digital Wireless Cell
Phones.”
