Important Notice For Prospective Noise Generator Users - Phonak Virto B-Titanium User Manual

18. 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.
