Caring for batteries
• Always discard batteries in a safe and
environmentally friendly way.
• To prolong battery life, remember to turn your
hearing aids off when not in use, especially
when asleep.
• Remove the batteries and keep the battery
door open while hearing aids are not being
worn, especially when asleep. This will allow
internal moisture to evaporate.
Tinnitus masker
Tinnitus masker uses broadband noise to provide
temporary relief of tinnitus.
Tinnitus masker warnings
The tinnitus masker is a broadband sound
generator. It provides a means of sound
enrichment therapy that can be used as
part of a personalized tinnitus management
program to provide temporary relief from
tinnitus.
The underlying principle of sound enrichment
is to provide supplementary noise stimulation
which can help defocus your attention from
your tinnitus and avoid negative reactions.
Sound enrichment, coupled with instructional
counseling, is an established approach to
managing tinnitus.
Air conduction hearing aids with the
tinnitus masker are to be fitted by a hearing
healthcare professional familiar with the
diagnosis and management of tinnitus.
