Should you develop any side effects
while using the tinnitus masker, such as
headaches, nausea, dizziness or heart
palpitations or experience a decrease
in auditory function such as decreased
loudness tolerance, worsening of tinnitus, or
speech not as clear, you should discontinue
use of the device and seek medical
attention.
The volume of the tinnitus masker can be
set to a level which could lead to permanent
hearing damage when used for a prolonged
period of time. Should the tinnitus masker
be set to such a level in your hearing aids,
your hearing care professional will advise
you of the maximum amount of time per
day you should use the tinnitus masker. The
tinnitus masker should never be used at
uncomfortable levels.

Important information
The tinnitus masker generates sounds that are
used as part of your personalized temporary
tinnitus management program to provide relief
from tinnitus. It should always be used as
prescribed by a hearing care professional who
is familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of
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 that medically treatable conditions,
which may be causing tinnitus, are identified
and treated prior to using a sound generator.
The tinnitus masker is intended for adults
18 years of age or older who have both hearing
loss and tinnitus.
