Tinnitus masker

Tinnitus masker uses broadband noise to provide
temporary relief of tinnitus.
Tinnitus masker warnings
The tinnitus masker is a broadband sound
generator. It provides a means of sound
enrichment therapy that can be used as
part of a personalized tinnitus management
program to provide temporary relief from
tinnitus.
The underlying principle of sound enrichment
is to provide supplementary noise stimulation
which can help defocus your attention from
your tinnitus and avoid negative reactions.
Sound enrichment, coupled with instructional
counseling, is an established approach to
managing tinnitus.
Air conduction hearing aids with the tinnitus
masker are to be fitted by a hearing healthcare
professional familiar with the diagnosis and
management of tinnitus.

Should you develop any side effects while
using the tinnitus masker, such as headaches,
nausea, dizziness or heart palpitations or
experience a decrease in auditory function
such as decreased loudness tolerance,
worsening of tinnitus, or speech not as clear,
you should discontinue use of the device and
seek medical attention.
The volume of the tinnitus masker can be
set to a level which could lead to permanent
hearing damage when used for a prolonged
period of time. Should the tinnitus masker be
set to such a level in your hearing aid, your
hearing healthcare professional will advise
you of the maximum amount of time per day
you should use the tinnitus masker. The
tinnitus masker should never be used at
uncomfortable levels.
