Introduction
Custom Tinnitus
™
Technology can be used as part of a tinnitus
treatment program. Custom Tinnitus
™
Technology plays a tinnitus
stimulus through the hearing aid. The tinnitus stimulus
is programmed according to your hearing loss, and your
Miracle-Ear
®
Hearing Care Professional can adjust the settings
of the tinnitus stimulus to meet your needs.
Sprinkler Tinnitus Stimulus Control
If your user control is configured as a sprinkler stimulus control,
each time you activate the user control, the stimulus level in your
hearing aid changes.
Sprinkler stimulus control is configured by default to automatically
decrease in level before it increases. To make the stimulus level
louder, activate the user control. Repeat this motion until you
are at the minimum setting. The next time you activate the user
control, the level will increase one step. Continue to activate the
user control until you reach the desired loudness.
NOTE:
If 10 minutes or more have passed since the last stimulus
level change, the level will automatically decrease before it
increases.
Up/Down Tinnitus Stimulus Control
If your user control is configured as a dedicated up/down stimulus
control, each time you activate the user control, the stimulus level
in your hearing aid always changes in a specific direction (either
up or down). For example, a short press and release may increase
the stimulus level while a long press and hold may decrease the
stimulus level in your hearing aid.
Some user controls can be set for the Right hearing aid to increase
stimulus level and the Left hearing aid to decrease stimulus level.
Ask your Miracle-Ear
®
Hearing Care Professional if this setting
would benefit you.
