Precautions
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of the Zen program when
used as a sound therapy tool for tinnitus, the tinnitus management
program must be designed and conducted by hearing care profes-
sionals who are trained in tinnitus management . A tinnitus man-
agement program should include a complete audiological evalu-
ation, tinnitus diagnosis, counseling, use of proper amplification
and/or sound therapy tools .
Prior to any tinnitus management program, it is advisable that you
seek medical attention to exhaust any medical or surgical treat-
ment options .
Use your hearing aid and the Zen program according to the di-
rections and schedule recommended by your hearing care profes-
sionals.
Warnings
Use of the Zen program may interfere with hearing everyday
sounds including speech. It should not be used when hearing such
sounds is important. Switch the hearing aid to a non-Zen program
in those situations.
