Guidelines for Tinnitus SoundSupport
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 suffi cient
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 a person reporting
tinnitus has had 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 identifi ed and treated prior to using a sound
generator.

Sound options 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 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 the hearing aid”.
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.
