The wearing time of Tinnitus SoundSupport will
decrease as you increase the level above
80 dB(A) SPL. The fi tting software will automatically
display a warning when the hearing aid exceeds
80 dB(A) SPL. See “Max wearing time indicator”
next to the tinnitus fi tting graph in the fi tting

The volume control is deactivated
By default, the volume control for the sound
generator is deactivated in the hearing aid. Risk of
noise exposure increases when the volume control is
activated.

displays the number of hours the patient can safely
use Tinnitus SoundSupport.
· Note the max wearing time for each program for
which Tinnitus SoundSupport is activated.
· Write those values in the table: “Tinnitus
SoundSupport: Limitation on use”, in the back of
this booklet.
