4 iHearing 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.

#### 13 Tinnitus Sound Generator module
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.
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, crashing 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.
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 an optional 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. Additionally, if 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.
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.
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. To prevent unintended usage by pediatric or physically or mentally challenged users, the volume control must, if enabled, be configured to only provide a decrease of the sound generator output level.
iNOTE:To use smartphone apps, the hearing aid must be connected
with the smartphone or mobile device.

Should you develop any side effects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, you should discontinue use of sound generator and seek medical evaluation.
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. 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.
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 affect 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 suffering from tinnitus.
13.4 iTinnitus Sound Generator warnings
13.4.2 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:
iCAUTION: THE MAXIMUM OUTPUT OF THE SOUND GENERATOR FALLS INTO THE RANGE THAT CAN CAUSE 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 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.
