9.7 Important notice for prospective sound generator users
A tinnitus masker is an electronic device intended to generate noise of sucient 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 otolaryngolo-
gists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists.
The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may aect tin-
nitus 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 suering from tinnitus.
