8.5  Flight mode (optional)

i

WARNING: When boarding a flight or entering an area where RF transmitters are prohibited, wire-

less functionality must be deactivated.

Your Lively hearing aid allows you to control it from your smartphone or Remote Control. However, in 

some areas you are requested to turn off wireless communication.

Follow these steps to turn off wireless mode:

1.  For each hearing aid, open and close (open-close, open-close, open-close) the battery door three 

times within a 10-second period.

2.  Double-dings for ten seconds (

 etc.) indicate that your hearing aid is in Flight mode.

Follow these steps to activate wireless mode:

1.  For each hearing aid, open and close the battery door once.

2.  Your hearing aids are in wireless mode after 10 seconds.

i

NOTE

: Both hearing aids must be set in Flight mode - even with synchronization enabled.

NOTE

: It is important to wait an additional 15 seconds after wireless function resumes before 

opening and closing the battery door again for any reason. Flight mode will resume if you open 

and close the battery door during this 15-second window.

9  Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module

9.1  Intended use for the TSG module

Your Lively hearing aid includes the Tinnitus Sound Generator function, a tool for generating sounds to 

be used in tinnitus management programs to relieve suffering from tinnitus.

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 hearing aid program and the environment you are in, you will sometimes hear the thera-

peutic sound resembling a continuous or fluctuating humming.

9.2  User instructions for the TSG module

9.2.1  Description of the device

The Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) Module is a software tool that generates sounds to be used in tin-

nitus management programs to relieve suffering from tinnitus.

9.2.2  Explanation of how the device functions

The TSG module is a frequency and amplitude shaped white-noise generator. Noise signal level and 

frequency characteristics can be adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs as determined by your doctor, 

audiologist or hearing care professional.

Your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional can modulate the generated noise with the purpose 

of making it more pleasant. The noise can then resemble, for example, crashing waves on a shore.
