There are some potential concerns
associated with the use of any sound
generated by a tinnitus management
device. Among them are the potential
worsening of tinnitus, and/or a possible
change in hearing thresholds.
Should you experience or notice a change
in hearing or tinnitus, or any dizziness,
nausea, headaches, heart palpitations,
or possible skin irritation at the point
of contact with the device, you should
immediately discontinue use of the device
and consult a medical, audiology, or other
hearing care professional.
As with any device, misuse of the sound
generator feature may cause potentially
harmful effects. Care should be taken to
prevent unauthorised use and to keep the
device out of reach of children and pets.
Maximum wearing time
Always follow the maximum wearing time
per day of the Tinnitus SoundSupport
