Prescription use of a Tinnitus Sound Generator hearing aid
The TSG should be used as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare
professional. In order to avoid permanent hearing damages, the maximum daily usage depends
on the level of the generated sound.
To adjust TSG, please consult your hearing care professional.
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.
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.
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. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as
otolaryngologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists.
