Tinnitus Masker - Unitron Moxi Kiss Guide

• Make notes at the back of this booklet,
write down difficult situations and describe
what any unpleasant noises were like. This
information will help your hearing healthcare
professional to fine-tune the devices better
for you.
• Involve your family and friends in this
familiarization period. For example,
ask someone to set the television to a
comfortable volume.
• When you are beginning to get used to
wearing the hearing aids, wear them in more
difficult listening environments such as the
office, at parties or in restaurants. This can
be difficult even for people who can hear
normally. Give yourself time to regain your
ability to hear in these difficult situations.
• Make your hearing aids part of your
everyday life and be patient with yourself
until you have retrained yourself to interpret
the sounds correctly.

Tinnitus masker

Unitron's tinnitus masker is a broadband sound
generator available in some hearing instruments.
It provides a means of sound enrichment therapy
that can be used as part of a personalized
tinnitus management program to provide
temporary relief from tinnitus.
The underlying principle of sound enrichment
is to provide supplementary noise stimulation
which can help defocus your attention from
your tinnitus and avoid negative reactions.
Sound enrichment, coupled with instructional
counseling, is an established approach to
managing tinnitus.
