Zen program
Your hearing aid may be provided with a unique op-
tional listening program called Zen. It makes musical
tones (and sometimes a rushing noise) in the back-
ground using the latest in Fractal technology. These
sounds are shaped according to your hearing loss so
you can listen to them at any time and at any place with
a simple push of the program button. The Zen program
may be used alone (without amplification) in quiet
when you are not required to hear surrounding sounds.
Or, it may be used with the Master program so both the
surrounding sounds and the generated sounds (fractal
tones and noise) are heard together.
Benefits
The Zen program provides a relaxing listening back-
ground for some people. When the Zen program is
used in a tinnitus management program, its wearer
may experience some relief from tinnitus.
Indications for use
The Zen program is intended to provide a relaxing
sound background (i.e., music/noise source) for adults
who desire to listen to such a background in quiet. It
may be used as a sound therapy tool in a tinnitus treat-
ment program that is prescribed by a hearing health-
care professional (audiologists, hearing aid specialists,
otolaryngologists) who is trained in tinnitus manage-
ment.
Directions for use
The Zen program can be activated with a simple push
of the program button on the hearing aid (or on the re-
mote control). Depending on how your Hearing Health-
care Professional has set up the program, you can ac-
cess the Zen program by a “short-press” of the program
button or a “long-press” of the program button.
