ReSound ONE User Manual page 41

Prescription use of this device
The TSG module should be used as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professional. In
order to avoid permanent hearing damage, the maximum daily usage depends on the level of the generated
sound.
To adjust TSG, please consult your hearing healthcare 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 the
sound generator and seek medical evaluation.
Target population
The target population is primarily the adult population over 18 years of age. This product may also be used for
children 12 years of age or older. However, children and physically or mentally disabled users will require training
by a doctor, audiologist, hearing care professional, or their guardian in the insertion and removal of the hearing
aid 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.
