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.
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.
