Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module
Intended use for the TSG module
Your ReSound hearing instruments may also include the Tinnitus Sound Generator function, a tool for
generating sounds to be used in tinnitus management programmes to relieve suffering from tinnitus. The
Tinnitus Sound Generator can generate sounds adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs and your per-
sonal preference as determined by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care professional. Depending on
the selected hearing instrument program and the environment you are in, you will sometimes hear the
therapeutic sound resembling a continuous or fluctuating whistling.
Prescription use of this TSG hearing instrument
The TSG module should be used as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare profes-
sional. In order to avoid permanent hearing damages, the maximum daily usage depends on the level of
the generated sound.
Should you develop any side effects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea, head-
aches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, you should discontinue
use of sound generator and seek medical evaluation.
The target population is primarily the adult population over 18 years of age. This product may also be used
with children 5 years of age or older. However, children and physically or mentally challenged users will
require training by a doctor, audiologist, hearing healthcare professional or the guardian for the insertion
and removal of the hearing instrument containing the TSG module.
