15 Tinnitus Sound Generator module 15.1 Intended use for TSG module Your ReSound hearing aid includes the Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module, a tool for generating sounds to be used in tinnitus management programs to relieve suffering from tinnitus. 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.
Page 39
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.
15.2.3 The scientific concepts that form the basis for the device The TSG module provides sound enrichment with the aim of surrounding the tinnitus sound with a neu- tral sound, which is easily ignored. Sound enrichment is an important component of most approaches to tinnitus management, such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT).
15.2.5 Using TSG with smartphone apps The tinnitus sound generator control via hearing aid push buttons can be enhanced with wireless control from a TSG control app on a smartphone or mobile device. This functionality is available in supported hearing aids when a hearing healthcare professional has enabled the TSG functionality during fitting of the hearing aid.

15.3.4 Important notice for prospective sound generator users A tinnitus masker is an electronic device intended to generate noise of sufficient intensity and bandwidth to mask internal noises. It is also used as an aid in hearing external noises and speech. 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.
15.4.1 Tinnitus Sound Generator precautions 1. Should the user develop any side effects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, the user should discontinue use of the sound generator and seek medical evaluation 2.

6. Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 dB at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz 7. Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal 8. Pain or discomfort in the ear. CAUTION: The maximum output of the sound generator falls into the range that can cause hear- ing loss according to OSHA regulations.
General Warnings 1. If a hearing aid is broken, do not use it 2. Consult a hearing care professional if you think there may be a foreign object in your ear canal, if you experience skin irritation, or if excessive earwax accumulates with the use of the hearing aid 3.

Important notice for prospective hearing aid users (US only) Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid.
