13.2.4 TSGvolumecontrol
The sound generator is set to a specic loudness level by the hearing
healthcare professional. When switching the sound generator on, the

amount of smulus, to the liking of the user.
The volume control is an oponal feature in the TSG module used for
adjusng the sound generator output level. To prevent unintended usage
by pediatric or physically or mentally challenged users, the volume control
must, if enabled, be congured to only provide a decrease of the sound
generator output level.
