Tinnitus Sound Generator - ReSound Standard Tube User Manual

IFCT with Tinnitus Sound Generator
Your IFCT hearing instrument models also include a Tinnitus Sound
Generator function, a tool for generating sounds to be used in tinnitus
management programs to relieve suffering from tinnitus. The Tinnitus
Sound Generator 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 instrument program and the environment you
are in, you will sometimes hear the therapeutic sound resembling a
continuous or fluctuating whistling.
Important Notice to Prospective Users
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss and/or
a tinnitus condition have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician
(preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before
using a hearing instrument and/or a sound generator, such as the IFCT.
The purpose of a medical evaluation is to ensure that all medically
treatable conditions that may affect hearing and/or tinnitus are identified
and treated before the hearing instrument and/or sound generator
is used.
The sound generator instrument is a tool to generate sounds to be
used with appropriate counselling and/or in a tinnitus management
programme to relieve patients suffering from tinnitus.
