Discontinue use of the sound generator and consult promptly with your hearing care professional if you
experience changes in the tinnitus perception, discomfort or interrupted speech perception, while
using the tinnitus sound generator.

The volume control is a feature in the TBP module used for adjusting the sound generator output level.
To prevent unintended usage by paediatric or physically or mentally disabled users, the volume control
must, if enabled, be configured to only provide a decrease of the sound generator output level.

Children and physically or mentally disabled users will require guardian supervision while wearing the
TBP hearing aid.
