Storing your instrument

Beltone Hearing Intruments – with Tinnitus Breaker Pro
A tinnitus masker is an electronic device intended to generate noise of sufficient intensity and bandwidth to
mask internal noises. It is also used as an aid in hearing external noises and speech. The Tinnitus Sound
Generator can generate sounds adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs and your personal preference
as determined by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care professional. Depending on the selected hear-
ing instrument programme and the environment you are in, you will sometimes hear the therapeutic sound
resembling a continuous or fluctuating humming.
Prescription Use for Sound Generator Users
Please use the device as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care professional. Should you
develop any side effects from using the instrument, such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, perceived de-
crease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, you should discontinue use of the device and
seek medical evaluation. In order to avoid permanent hearing damages, the maximum daily usage depends
on the level of the generated sound.
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 care professional or the guardian for the insertion and
removal of the device.
