(Directions of use)

 Use the tinnitus devices and the RC-DEX in the 

manner instructed by your hearing healthcare professionals. Please 
also refer to the user instruction brochure on the proper use of the 
tinnitus device and its accessories.

(Benefits)

  The  use  of  wireless  transmission  allows  convenient  and 

synchronized control of tinnitus device functions. The wireless tinni-
tus devices share input information between the two partner tinni-
tus devices. In so doing, the wearers would experience the following 
additional user benefits (only when wearing binaural tinnitus devic-
es).

Synchronization of volume control settings between tinnitus devices

 

– The volume in both tinnitus devices will change when the VC is ad-
justed on one ear. 

Synchronization  of  listening  programs  between  tinnitus  devices

  – 

The  same  listening  program  is  used  in  both  tinnitus  devices  when 
one is changed by the user.
