More info
If your hearing care professional has
activated the sound generator Tinnitus
SoundSupport, please 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
for 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 seek a consultation with
a medical, audiology, or other hearing
care professional.
As with any device, misuse of the sound
generator feature could present some
potentially harmful effects. Care should
be taken to prevent the unauthorized
use and to keep the device out of the
reach of children and pets.
Maximum wearing time
Always follow the maximum
wearing time per day of the Tinnitus
SoundSupport advised by your hearing
care professional. Prolonged use may
lead to worsening of your tinnitus or of
your hearing loss.

General warnings
For your personal safety and to ensure
correct usage, you should familiarize
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.
Please note that a hearing aid will not
restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from organic
conditions. Hearing aid is 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.
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 & risk of swallowing
batteries and 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.
