Intended Use

The Hansaton Tinnitus Maskers are air conduction broad band noise generators and hearing aids intended to output noise of sufficient intensity and bandwidth to be used for tinnitus habituation therapy and are suitable for tinnitus masking therapy. Optional, the Hansaton SOUL Tinnitus Maskers provide amplification, intended to be used by those individuals who experience tinnitus and desire amplification. Diagnosis and prescription of the tinnitus maskers must be performed by hearing health specialists (e.g., ENT specialists, audiologists, or hearing system professionals) who are experienced in tinnitus management. The target population is primarily the adult population over 18 years of age. The instruments are not intended for pediatric use.

Device Story

Hansaton WAVE 2G and SOUL are air-conduction broadband noise generators; SOUL includes hearing aid amplification. Available in In-The-Ear (ITE) and Behind-The-Ear (BTE) form factors. Operated by hearing health specialists (audiologists, ENT) for tinnitus habituation and masking therapy. Devices output noise of specific intensity/bandwidth to mask tinnitus; SOUL provides additional amplification for hearing loss. Clinicians program devices to patient needs; patients use devices daily to manage tinnitus symptoms. Benefits include reduced tinnitus perception and improved quality of life through habituation or masking.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Compliance with IEC 60118 series (electroacoustical characteristics, induction coils, AGC, electrical input, EMC) and ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards. Speech testing performed per Nordic Requirements 7th edition.

Technological Characteristics

Digital circuit; programmable; multiple programs/memories. Available as BTE (X-Mini, Slim) and ITE (Mini Canal, Cymba). Connectivity: SOUL supports wireless communication. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Standards: IEC 60118-0, 60118-1, 60118-2, 60118-6, 60118-13.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults >18 years experiencing tinnitus, with or without hearing loss, requiring tinnitus habituation or masking therapy. Contraindicated for pediatric use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A tinnitus masker is an electronic device intended to generate noise of sufficient intensity and bandwidth to mask ringing in the ears or internal head noises. Because the device is able to mask internal noises, it is also used as an aid in hearing external noises and speech.

Special Controls

The special control for this device is patient labeling regarding:(1) Hearing health care professional diagnosis, fitting of the device, and followup care, (2) Risks, (3) Benefits, (4) Warnings for safe use, and (5) Specifications.
