Tinnitus SoundSupportTM (optional)
Intended use of Tinnitus SoundSupport Tinnitus SoundSupport is a tool intended
to generate sounds to provide temporary relief for patients suffering from
tinnitus as part of a tinnitus management program. The target population is
the adult population over 18 years of age. Tinnitus SoundSupport is targeted
to licenced hearing care professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists,
or otolaryngologists) who are familiar with the evaluation and treatment of
tinnitus and hearing loss. Fitting of Tinnitus SoundSupport must be done by a
hearing care professional participating in a tinnitus management program.
50 About Getting started Daily use Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
Guidelines for tinnitus SoundSupport users
The following instructions contain information about Tinnitus SoundSupport,
which may have been enabled in your hearing aids by your hearing care
professional.
Tinnitus SoundSupport is a tinnitus management device intended to generate
sound of sufficient intensity and bandwidth to help manage tinnitus.
Your hearing care professional will also be able to offer the appropriate
follow-up care. It is important to follow his/her advice and directions
regarding such care.
Prescription use only Good health practice requires that the person reporting
tinnitus has a medical evaluation by a licenced ear physician before using a
sound generator. The purpose of such an evaluation is to ensure that any
medically-treatable condition that may cause tinnitus is identified and
treated prior to using a sound generator.
51
Sound options and volume adjustments
Tinnitus SoundSupport is programmed by your hearing care professional to match
your hearing loss and preferences for tinnitus relief. It offers a number of
different sound options. Together with your hearing care professional, you can
select your preferred sound(s).
Tinnitus SoundSupport programs Together with your hearing care professional,
you decide for which programs you may want to have Tinnitus SoundSupport
activated. The sound generator can be activated in up to four different
programs.
Mute If you are in a program for which Tinnitus SoundSupport is activated, the
mute functionality only mutes the environmental sounds, and not the sound from
Tinnitus SoundSupport. For information on how to mute your hearing aids, see
the Mute your hearing aids section.
52 About Getting started Daily use Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
Volume adjustments with Tinnitus SoundSupport When you select a hearing aid
program for which Tinnitus SoundSupport is activated, your hearing care
professional can only set the push-button on your hearing aid to work as a
volume control for the tinnitus relief sound.
Your hearing care professional sets the volume control for the sound generator
in one of two ways:
A) Change volume in each ear separately, or B) Change volume in both ears
simultaneously.
For more information about volume adjustments with Tinnitus SoundSupport, see
the table Tinnitus SoundSupport settings overview for your hearing aid in the
Your individual hearing aid settings section at the end of this booklet.
53
Limitation on use time
Daily use The volume levels of Tinnitus SoundSupport can be set to a level
which could lead to permanent hearing damage when used for a prolonged period
of time. Your hearing care professional will advise you of the maximum amount
of time per day you should use Tinnitus SoundSupport. It should never be used
at uncomfortable levels. See the table Tinnitus SoundSupport: Limitation on
use, in the Your individual hearing aid settings section at the end of this
booklet to learn how many hours per day you can safely use the relief sound in
your hearing aid.

Tinnitus SoundSupport warnings
If your hearing care professional has activated the sound generator Tinnitus
SoundSupport, ensure you pay attention to the following warnings.
There are some potential concerns associated with the use of any sound
generated by a tinnitus management device. Among them are the potential
worsening of tinnitus, and/or a possible change in hearing thresholds.
Should you experience or notice a change in hearing or tinnitus, or any
dizziness, nausea, headaches, heart palpitations, or possible skin irritation
at the point of contact with the device, you should immediately discontinue
use of the device and consult a medical, audiology, or other hearing care
professional.
As with any device, misuse of the sound generator feature may cause
potentially harmful effects. Care should be taken to prevent unauthorised use
and to keep the device out of reach of children and pets.

General warnings
For your personal safety and to ensure correct usage, you should familiarise
yourself fully with the following general warnings before using your hearing
aid.
Consult your hearing care professional if you experience unexpected operations
or serious incidents with your hearing aid during use or because of its use.
Your hearing care professional will support you with issue handling and, if
relevant, reporting to the manufacturer and/or the national authorities.
Note that hearing aids do not restore normal hearing and do not prevent or
improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. Hearing aids
are only a part of hearing habilitation and may need to be supplemented by
auditory training and instruction in lipreading. Furthermore, note that in
most cases, infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain
full benefit from it.
(miniRITE R only)
Only charge the hearing aids with a designated charger. Other chargers risk
destroying the hearing aids and batteries.
This hearing aid is supported by a nonremovable rechargeable lithium-ion
battery cell. Please ensure to charge the hearing aid and familiarise yourself
with the safety and handling information related to rechargeable hearing aids.
Do not try to get access to the battery inserted in the hearing instrument.
The battery must only be replaced by your hearing care professional.
58 About Getting started Daily use Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
Usage of hearing aids Hearing aids should be used only as directed and
adjusted by your hearing care professional. Misuse can result in sudden and
permanent hearing loss.
Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as incorrect usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards and risk of swallowing batteries or other small parts Hearing
aids, their parts and batteries should be kept out of reach of children and
anyone who might swallow these items or otherwise cause injury to themselves.
If a battery, transmitter, or small part is swallowed, go to hospital
immediately and contact your provincial poison centre.
(miniRITE T only)
Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore, check your
medicine carefully before swallowing any pills.
Battery use (miniRITE T only)
Always use batteries recommended by your hearing care professional. Batteries
of low quality may leak and cause bodily harm.
Never attempt to recharge your batteries and never dispose of batteries by
burning them. There is a risk that the batteries will explode.

anaesthetics are handled.
Fatality hazards and risk of swallowing lithium-ion batteries or placing them
in the ear or nose (miniRITE R only)
Never swallow lithium-ion batteries nor place them in the ear or the nose as
this may lead to serious injury or death in as little as two hours. This can
be due to chemical burns, which can permanently damage the nose or ear or
potentially lead to perforation of the inner organs. If a lithium-ion battery
is swallowed or placed in the ear or nose, seek emergency medical treatment
immediately. Keep the batteries in the original packaging until use. Dispose
of used batteries immediately.
60 About Getting started Daily use Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
Rechargeable battery (miniRITE R only)

Never attempt to replace the battery. If battery replacement is needed, please
return your device to your hearing care professional. The service guarantee is
void if there are signs of tampering.
In case of battery leakage do not wear your hearing aid, as it may cause skin
irritation due to acids coming from the leaking battery. If your skin has been
in contact with the leaked battery acids, use a wet cloth to wipe it off and
ensure no acid is left on your skin. If you experience skin irritation,
consult your doctor. For further handling instructions of your hearing
instrument consult your hearing care professional.
The safety of recharging batteries using a USB connector is determined by the
external signal source. When connected to external equipment plugged into a
power socket, this equipment must comply with IEC 62368-1 or equivalent safety
standards.
Dysfunction Be aware of the possibility that your hearing aid may stop working
without notice. Keep this in mind when you depend on warning sounds (e.g. when
you are in traffic). The hearing aids may stop functioning, for instance if
the batteries have expired or if the tubing is blocked by moisture or earwax.
