permanent hearing damage when used
for a prolonged period of time. Should the
tinnitus masker be set to such a level in
your hearing aid, your hearing healthcare

tinnitus masker. The tinnitus masker should
never be used at uncomfortable levels.
Important information
Unitron’s tinnitus masker generates sounds
that are used as part of your personalized
temporary tinnitus management program to
provide relief from tinnitus. It should always
be used as prescribed by a hearing healthcare
professional who is familiar with the diagnosis
and treatment of tinnitus.
Good health practice requires that a person
reporting tinnitus have a medical evaluation by
a licensed ear physician before using a sound
generator. The purpose of such an evaluation
is to ensure that medically treatable conditions,
which may be causing tinnitus, are identied
and treated prior to using a sound generator.
Unitron’s tinnitus masker is intended for adults
18 years of age or older who have both hearing
loss and tinnitus.
