20. Important notice for Prospective
Noise Generator users
The Tinnitus Balance noise generator is a broadband
sound Generator which may have been enabled in your
hearing aid. It provides a means of sound enrichment
that can be used as part of a personalized tinnitus
management program to provide temporary relief from
tinnitus. It should always be used as prescribed by
your audiologist. 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.
Good health practice requires that a person reporting
tinnitus have a medical evaluation by a licensed ear
physician before using a sound generator. The purpose
of such an evaluation is to ensure medically treatable
conditions that may be causing tinnitus are identified
and treated prior to using a sound generator.
