Prescription use of this TSG hearing instrument

The TSG module should be used as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare profes-

sional. In order to avoid permanent hearing damages, the maximum daily usage depends on the level of

the generated sound.

Should you develop any side effects from using the sound generator, such as dizziness, nausea, head-

aches, perceived decrease in auditory function or increase in tinnitus perception, you should discontinue

use of sound generator and seek medical evaluation.

The target population is primarily the adult population over 18 years of age. This product may also be used

with children 5 years of age or older. However, children and physically or mentally challenged users will re-

quire training by a doctor, audiologist, hearing healthcare professional or the guardian for the insertion and

removal of the hearing instrument containing the TSG module.

Important notice for prospective sound generator users

A tinnitus masker is an electronic device intended to generate noise of sufﬁcient intensity and bandwidth to

mask internal noises. It is also used as an aid in hearing external noises and speech.

Good health practice requires that a person with a tinnitus condition have a medical evaluation by a licensed

physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before using a sound generator.

Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists

or otorhinolaryngologists.

The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect tinnitus

are identiﬁed and treated before the sound generator instrument is used.

The sound generator instrument is a tool to generate sounds to be used with appropriate counselling and/

or in a tinnitus management programme to relieve patients suffering from tinnitus.

Off

Getting started

On/Off function

1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument turns on, and the default programme will be

activated.

2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Many individuals can use their ﬁngernail to

pull it open.

SmartStart

Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on

your ears. If you prefer to turn them on just prior to placing them on your

ear, your hearing care professional can activate a function called Smart-

Start. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments

turn on after the battery compartment is closed. With SmartStart, a beep

will be heard for each second of the delay period.

Inserting/Replacing the battery

1. Open the battery door completely by using your

ﬁngernail. Remove the used battery if present.

2. Prepare the new battery (please refer to page 6 for

information on appropriate battery type/size for your

hearing instrument). Remove the protective foil and

wait 2 minutes before inserting the battery into the

hearing instrument to allow activation of the battery.

3. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the

correct position.

4. Gently close the battery door.

iTip:

1. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of 1 year.

2. Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid unnecessary

battery consumption.

3. Remove the sticker from the battery and let it air for 2 minutes before you insert it.

4. If hearing instrument is experiencing frequent loss of connection to ReSound Unite accessories, contact

your hearing care professional for a list of low impedance batteries.

14 15

Low battery indicator

Your hearing care professional can activate a low battery indicator in your hearing instruments. The hear-

ing instrument will reduce ampliﬁcation and play a melody if battery power gets too low. This signal will

recur every 15 minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches off. The timing of the low battery

indicator can vary slightly, depending on the type of battery used. It is recommended that you keep spare

batteries on hand.

Low battery indicator when paired with wireless accessories only

Active usage of the ReSound Unite accessories (Remote Control 2, Phone Clip+, TV Streamer 2 and Mini

Microphone) or an FM receiver requires more battery power from the hearing instruments than when they

are working without accessories which means that battery life is highly dependent on the amount of wire-

less accessory usage. When the battery in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use of

ReSound Unite TV Streamer 2, Phone Clip+ and Mini Microphone cannot be supported, the hearing instru-

ment will play two sets of descending tones.

After this, your hearing instrument and ReSound Unite Remote Control 2 will continue to work as usual, but

you will not be able to use your ReSound Unite TV Streamer 2, Phone Clip+ and Mini Microphone. At some

point the battery level will also be too low to support the remote control as well and you will once again

hear the descending tones. The hearing instruments will continue to work as usual. Once a new battery is

inserted, full operation of the accessories will resume.

Inserting/Removing hearing instruments

Insertion (custom earmoulds)

1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and index ﬁnger and position its

sound outlet in your ear canal.

2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.

3. Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it

tucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.

4. Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned

correctly in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.

5. Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.

16 17

By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing instruments should

ﬁt snugly but comfortably. If the hearing instruments cause irritation of the ears, contact your hearing care

professional.

iNote: Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, earmoulds, or tubing yourself.

iTip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during insertion.

Removal (custom earmoulds)

1. Hold a portion of your earmould towards the back of the ear.

2. Pull the earmould outward and simultaneously rotate the earmould forward.

3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difﬁculties removing the hearing instrument.

Insertion (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)

1. Place the hearing instrument on the ear.

2. Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently

place the dome into the ear canal. Push the dome

far enough into the ear canal so that the thin tube

lies ﬂush with the head.

3. It is important that the tube and the dome ﬁt

correctly into your ear.

4. When the dome is placed correctly, you should not be able to see the thin tube sticking out when facing

a mirror.

iNote: You should never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the thin tube.

Removal (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)

1. Hold the thin tube with your thumb and foreﬁnger and remove the tube.

2. For thin tube custom earmoulds, grasp the removal string and pull the earmould

outward.

3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difﬁculties removing the hearing

instrument.

18 19

Operation of the hearing instrument

Volume control (optional)

The volume control will allow the volume of hearing instruments

to be increased or decreased.

1. To increase the volume, push the volume control up.

2. To decrease the volume, push the volume control down.

When volume is increased or decreased, a beep signal will be heard

for each incremental change. When the upper or lower limits of the

volume range are reached, a beep signal with a lower pitch will be

heard.

If you have two hearing instruments with the synchronization function enabled, volume control adjustments

to one instrument will automatically repeat in the second instrument. When a volume control adjustment

is made in one instrument, you will hear a conﬁrmation beep. A beep in the second instrument will follow.

Your hearing care professional can disable the volume control function if it is not desired. The volume con-

trol can also be replaced with a non-functional cover.

Programme button

Depending on your experience level with hearing instruments, in-

dividual hearing needs, and the type of listening environments you

experience, your hearing care professional may activate additional

programmes. If additional programmes have been activated, the fol-

lowing list explains how they work.

Programme Description of when to use

1. You can switch between programmes by pushing the push button once.

2. You will then hear one or more beeps. The number of beeps indicates which programme you have

selected (one beep = programme one, two beeps = programme two, etc.).

3. When the hearing instruments are turned off and then back on, the hearing instrument always returns

to the default setting (programme one).
