Tinnitus Management

Tinnitus Sound Generator module
Your ReSound hearing aid includes the Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module, a tool for generating sounds to be used in tinnitus management programs to temporarily relieve suffering from tinnitus. The TSG can generate sounds adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs and your personal preference as determined by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care professional. Depending on the selected hearing aid program and the environment you are in, you will sometimes hear the therapeutic sound resembling a continuous or fluctuating noise.
Indications for use of the TSG module
The Tinnitus Sound Generator module is a tool to generate sounds to be used in a tinnitus management program to temporarily relieve patients suffering from tinnitus. The target population is primarily the adult population over 18 years of age. This product may also be used with 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 the guardian for the insertion and removal of the hearing aid containing the TSG module.
For healthcare professionals
The Tinnitus Sound Generator module is targeted for healthcare professionals who are treating patients suffering from tinnitus, as well as conventional hearing disorders. The initial fitting of the Tinnitus Sound Generator module must be done during an in-office visit by a hearing professional participating in a tinnitus management program. If deemed feasible by the hearing professional, subsequent fittings of the Tinnitus Sound Generator module may be performed remotely and in real time while having live communication via live audio, video and chat on the user’s dedicated app.

User instructions for the TSG module

Description of the device
The Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) Module is a software tool that generates sounds to be used in tinnitus management programs to temporarily relieve suffering from tinnitus.
Explanation of how the device functions
The TSG module is a frequency and amplitude shaped white-noise generator. The noise signal level and frequency characteristics can be adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs as determined by your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional.
Your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional can modulate the generated noise with the purpose of making it more pleasant. The noise can then resemble, for example, breaking waves on a shore.
Modulation level and speed can also be configured to your likes and needs. An additional feature can be enabled by your hearing care professional that allows you to select predefined sounds that simulate sounds from nature, such as breaking waves or running water.
If you have two wireless hearing aids that support ear-to-ear synchronization, this functionality can be enabled by your hearing care professional. This will cause the Tinnitus Sound Generator to synchronize the sound in both hearing aids.
If your tinnitus troubles you only in quiet environments, your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional can set the TSG Module so that it becomes audible exclusively in such surroundings. The overall sound level can be adjusted via an optional volume control. Your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional will review with you the need for having such a control.
For hearing aids where ear-to-ear synchronization is enabled your hearing care professional can also enable environmental monitoring synchronization so that the TSG noise level is automatically adjusted simultaneously in both hearing aids dependent on the background sound level. Additionally, since the hearing aid has a volume control, the background noise level monitored by the hearing aid and the volume control can be used simultaneously to adjust the generated noise level in both hearing aids.

The scientific concepts that form the basis for the device
The TSG module provides sound enrichment with the aim of surrounding the tinnitus sound with a neutral sound which is easily ignored. Sound enrichment is an important component of most approaches to tinnitus management, such as tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT).
To assist habituation to tinnitus, this needs to be audible. The ideal level of the TSG module, therefore, should be set so that it starts to blend with the tinnitus, and so that you can hear both your tinnitus as well as the sound used.
In a majority of instances, the TSG module can also be set to mask the tinnitus sound, to provide temporary relief by introducing a more pleasant and controllable sound source.

TSG volume control
The sound generator is set to a specific loudness level by the hearing care professional. When switching the sound generator on, the volume will have this optimal setting. Therefore, it might not be necessary to control the volume (loudness) manually. However, the volume control provides the ability to adjust the volume, or amount of stimulus, to the liking of the user. The TSG volume can only be adjusted within the range set by the hearing care professional.
The volume control is an optional feature in the TSG module used for adjusting the sound generator output level.

Using TSG with smartphone apps
The tinnitus sound generator control via hearing aid push buttons can be enhanced with wireless control from a TSG control app on a smartphone or mobile device. This functionality is available in supported hearing aids when a hearing care professional has enabled the TSG functionality during fitting of the hearing aid.

NOTE: To use smartphone apps, the hearing aid must be connected with the smartphone or mobile device.

TSG – Technical specifications
Audio signal technology: Digital.
Available sounds
White noise signal which can be shaped with the following configurations:

The white noise signal can be modulated in amplitude with an attenuation depth of up to 14 dB.

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 with 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 the guardian for 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 one 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.
The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect tinnitus are identified and treated before the sound generator instrument is used.
The sound generator instrument is a tool to generate sounds to be used with appropriate counselling and/or in a tinnitus management program to relieve patients suffering from tinnitus.

Warning information
WARNING:

• Sound generators can be dangerous if improperly used.
• Sound generators should be used only as advised by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care professional.
• Sound generators are not toys and should be kept out of reach of anyone who might cause themselves injury (especially children and pets).

CAUTION:

• Should the user develop any side effects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, the user should discontinue use of the sound generator and seek medical evaluation.

• Discontinue use of the sound generator and consult promptly with a licensed physician if you experience one of the following conditions:
  1. Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
  2. History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
  3. History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days
  4. Acute or chronic dizziness.
  5. Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days
  6. Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 dB at 500 hertz (Hz), 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz.
  7. Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
  8. Pain or discomfort in the ear.

• Discontinue use of the sound generator and consult promptly with your hearing care professional, if you experience changes in the tinnitus perception, discomfort or interrupted speech perception, while using the tinnitus sound generator.

• The volume control is a feature in the TSG module used for adjusting the sound generator output level. To prevent unintended usage by pediatric or physically or mentally disabled users, the volume control must, if enabled, be configured to only provide a decrease of the sound generator output level.

• Children and physically or mentally disabled users will require guardian supervision while wearing the TSG hearing aid.

• Adjustment of the tinnitus sound generator settings, using a smartphone app, should only be performed by the parent or legal guardian in cases where the user is a minor.

**** Tinnitus Sound Generator warning to hearing care professionals
A hearing care professional should advise a prospective sound generator user to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before getting a sound generator, if the hearing care professional determines through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information concerning the prospective user that the prospective user has any of the following conditions:

1. Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
2. History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
3. History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days
4. Acute or chronic dizziness.
5. Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days
6. Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 dB at 500 hertz (Hz), 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz.
7. Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
8. Pain or discomfort in the ear.

CAUTION: The maximum output of the sound generator falls into the range that can cause hearing loss according to OSHA regulations. In compliance with NIOSH recommendations, the user should not use the sound generator for more than eight (8) hours a day when it is set to a level of 85 dB SPL or above. When the sound generator is set to levels of 90 dB SPL or above, the user should not use it for more than two (2) hours per day. In no case should the sound generator be worn at uncomfortable levels.

General warnings and cautions

WARNING:

• Consult a hearing care professional:
  – If you think there may be a foreign object in your ear canal
  – If you experience skin irritation
  – If excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing aid

• See also “Contra-indications”, page 5

• For safety reasons, use only the charger supplied by ReSound (Rechargeable model).

• Do not wear your hearing aids while being exposed to radiation. Some types of radiation, e.g. from MRI or CT scanners, can affect the settings in your hearing aids, causing malfunction and potential damage to your hearing.

• Other types of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, mobile phones, metal detectors and radio equipment will not damage your hearing aids. However, they may briefly affect the sound quality in your hearing aids and may create undesired sounds.

• Never use your hearing aids in places with explosive gases such as mines, oil fields or similar unless these areas are certified for hearing aid use. Using your hearing aids in places that are not certified for  hearing aid use can be dangerous.

• Do not attempt to dry your hearing aids in an oven, microwave oven or other heating equipment. This will cause them to melt and may cause burns to your skin.

• No modification of this device is allowed.

Warnings related to power hearing aids

• A power hearing aid can produce very loud sound to compensate for a severe or profound hearing loss. There is therefore a risk of further impairing the remaining hearing.
• Your hearing aids have been customized to amplify soft and loud sounds according to your particular needs. If the amplification seems too loud or you suspect the hearing aid is malfunctioning (e.g. you hear distorted or unusual sound), contact your hearing care professional. A malfunctioning hearing aid can damage your hearing.
• In general, exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing. This could be loud music or loud environments. You can best protect your hearing by reducing exposure to loud sound and environments or by using hearing protection.
• Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting hearing aids with a maximum sound pressure level that exceeds  132 dB SPL, measured in a 2 cc acoustic coupler in accordance with IEC 60318-5:2006. The remaining hearing may risk further impairment.

CAUTION:

• Use your hearing aids as your hearing care professional recommends. Incorrect use may damage your hearing.

• Do not use a broken hearing aid. It may not work properly and may be harmful to your hearing. It may also cause scratches or sores due to sharp edges.

• Use only original consumables from the manufacturer, e.g. wax guards.

• Use only accessories intended for use with your hearing aids. Consult your hearing aid professional for more information.

• Do not try to modify the shape of your hearing aid or accessories. This can cause skin reactions or sharp edges leading to scratches or sores.

• If you have two hearing aids, they may be programmed differently. Do not swap them as this could damage your hearing. Your hearing aids are color-coded.  Left = blue. Right = red.
  If your hearing aids are not color-coded, ask your hearing care professional to add color coding.

• If you experience side effects, contact your hearing care professional. Possible side effects from wearing a hearing aid may be:
  – Dizziness
  – Tinnitus
  – Perceived worsening of hearing loss
  – Nausea
  – Headache
  – Skin reaction
  – Ear wax accumulation

• If you suspect that you have a detached wax guard or another object in your ear canal, consult your hearing care professional. These objects can be harmful and can cause an infection in your ear.

• If you have a sore or injury where your hearing aid touches your ear or head, continued use of the hearing aid may cause it to worsen or prevent it from healing. Consult your hearing care professional for assistance.

• Your hearing aids are tuned to your hearing. Do not allow others to use your hearing aids as this can damage their hearing.

• When using wireless functions, your hearing aid uses low-powered digitally coded transmissions to communicate with other wireless devices. It is possible, but not likely, that other electronic devices will be affected. If this happens, move the hearing aid away from the affected electronic device.

• Turn off hearing aid wireless functionality when this is required.

For hearing care professionals
WARNING: The developed sound pressure level in the ears of children can be substantially higher than in average adults. It is recommended to perform an RECD measurement in order to ensure the correct target for the fitted OSPL90.
CAUTION: Do not change the outer casing or any parts of a hearing aid unless appropriately protected against ESD.

Cyber security warnings

Failing to follow these cautions can compromise the information security of your hearing aid and potentially cause hearing loss or tinnitus.

CAUTION:

• Only connect your hearing aid to a trusted computer or mobile device, or one used by your hearing care professional.
• For 3 minutes after turning on, your hearing aid is open to connections. Do not restart your hearing aid if requested by someone you don’t trust as this may compromise the safety of your device.
• If your device plays the pairing sound at an unexpected time, this could indicate someone has gained access to your device.
• Only connect your hearing aid to the official ReSound mobile device app.
• Only apply remote fine tuning updates that you are expecting.
• Always use the newest software update available for your hearing aid.
• Only accept live assistance calls from the hearing care professional that you are expecting.

Warnings to hearing care professionals (US only)
Hearing aid expectations

• A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions.
• Consistent use of the hearing aid is recommended. In most cases, infrequent use does not permit you to get full benefit from it.
• The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing rehabilitation and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and instructions in lip-reading.

Warning to Hearing Aid Dispensers
A hearing aid dispenser should advise a prospective hearing aid user to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before dispensing a hearing aid, if the hearing aid dispenser determines through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information concerning the prospective user, that the prospective user has any of the following conditions:

1. Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
2. History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
3. History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days.
4. Acute or chronic dizziness.
5. Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days
6. Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 dB at 500 hertz (Hz), 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz.
7. Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
8. Pain or discomfort in the ear.

Important notice for prospective hearing aid users
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written statement that states that your hearing loss has been medically evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation. The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the  audiologist or hearing aid dispenser to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option program. Many hearing aid dispensers now offer programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing
aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to those individuals who have obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its use is strongly discouraged.

Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation because hearing loss may cause problems in language development and the educational and social growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with hearing loss.
