The device is indicated to mask and intermittently mask tinnitus as part of a tinnitus management program. The addition of the music is to aid the promotion of relaxation during the tinnitus masking process. The spectral adaptation of the sound is determined by the patient's audiogram measured by a qualified audiologist; the patient's tinnitus therapy is managed by an appropriate healthcare professional. The target population for the device is adults (18 years of age and over) who present with tinnitus that may or may not be accompanied with hearing loss at the higher frequencies. #### Intended use The ANMP System is intended to completely mask and intermittently mask tinnitus as part of a tinnitus management program. The addition of the music is to aid the promotion of relaxation during the tinnitus masking process. The initial hearing and tinnitus tests are conducted by a qualified audiologist familiar with the treatment of tinnitus: the subsequent management of the treatment is carried out by an appropriate healthcare professional. #### Target population The target population for the device is adults (18 years and over) who present with tinnitus that may or may not be accompanied with hearing loss at the higher frequencies and who are participating in a tinnitus management program. #### Device description The TinniTech ANMP system consists of: One CD pre-recorded in the MP3 format with selected relaxation music and superimposed low amplitude, wide spectrum noise that is spectrally adapted to compensate for the individual patient's higher frequencies hearing loss. This CD is intended for the complete masking of tinnitus. One CD pre-recorded in the MP3 format with selected relaxation music that is spectrally adapted to compensate for the individual patient's higher frequencies hearing loss however this CD has been recorded such that the dynamic characteristics of the sound allow the tinnitus to intermittently break through during the quieter passages of the recorded music. {2}------------------------------------------------ A commercially available, battery powered, stereo, MP3 mini compact disc player with earphones with a performance specification that TinniTech has tested and shown to be suitable for the delivery of the ANMP treatment sounds or waveforms. At this time Tinnitech will supply the Phillips eXpanium 401™ MP3 mini compact disc player. Other suitable players will be offered as TinniTech tests and approves them for the ANMP System. #### Substantial equivalence TenniTech is claiming substantial equivalence to two devices: Equivalence is claimed to the Dynamic Tinnitus Mitigation System, DTM-6 manufactured by Petroff Audio Technologies Inc. 510k number; K974501 Equivalence is also claimed to the Custom TCI Instrument manufactured by Siemens Hearing Instruments, 510k number; K011364. #### K974501 The Dynamic Tinnitus Mitigation System, DTM-6 manufactured by Petroff Audio Technologies Inc. 510k number; K974501 is a four (4) CD set system capable of being played on any commercial CD player with headphones or speakers. CD#1 provides digital tinnitus masking sounds only, CDs #2, #3 and #4 provide digital tinnitus masking sounds plus relaxation messages, alpha rhythms (a gentle musical sound generated on electronic musical instruments), music and/or nature sounds. CDs #2. #3 and #4 add the indication of promoting relaxation during the tinnitus masking process to the indication of providing 'temporary relief of tinnitus symptoms'. Like the predicate device K974501 the TinniTech ANMP sounds are recorded on mini CDs (in the MP3 format) capable of being played on any one of a number of good quality, portable MP3 mini disc players, the patient using appropriate earphones to listen to the sound recorded on the discs. The TinniTech ANMP, like CDs #2. #3 and #4 of the predicate device includes on CD1 digital tinnitus masking sounds together with selected musical sounds to promote relaxation during the tinnitus continuous masking process. #### K011364 The Custom TCI Instrument manufactured by Siemens Hearing Instruments, 510k number: K011364. is a fully digital. low level noise generator. The device is programmable, with selected noise and output levels and is indicated for use in the delivery of tinnitus habituation and tinnitus masking therapies. The output noise in the Custom TCI Instrument can be custom-tailored to the user's individual requirements. {3}------------------------------------------------ Like the predicate device, K011364, the TinniTech ANMP custom-tailors the sounds on both CD 1 and CD 2 to suit the individual patients' hearing requirements. This is achieved analysing the patient's audiogram and boosting the amplitude of those sounds or tones where the patient has been shown to have a reduced hearing threshold. The TinniTech ANMP also includes on CD 2 specially selected music with a dynamic characteristic that allows the patient's tinnitus sound to intermittently break through the masking effect of the music. This function, like the predicate device K011364, assists in enhancing the patient's habituation to the tinnitus sound. {4}------------------------------------------------ | Characteristic | New Device | Predicate Device K974501 | Predicate Device K011364 | |---------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Intended Use | Continuously and intermittently mask tinnitus as part of a tinnitus management program with masking noise and selected music to promote the relaxation of the patient during the delivery of the Tinnitech ANMP therapy. | Temporary relief of tinnitus symptoms and the promotion of relaxation during the tinnitus masking process. | Continuously mask and partially mask tinnitus as part of a tinnitus management program. | | Target Population | Adults (18 years and over), both with and without high frequency loss, with tinnitus who are participating in a tinnitus management program. | All tinnitus sufferers, including that percentage of severe sufferers who are "un- maskable" through the application of a masking sound. | Adults and children (over 5 years of age) with tinnitus who are participating in a tinnitus | | Audio signal technology | Digital | Digital | Digital | | Available noises/sounds | Pre-adapted to the patient's hearing characteristics, a wide selection of musical sounds incorporating Tinnitus Masking noise (20Hz - 20KHz) digitally recorded on mini compact discs in MP3 format. | Proprietary dynamic formats of sounds incorporating Dynamic Tinnitus Mitigation technology (20Hz - 20KHz) recorded on digital storage means that are played at audible levels. | Programmable noise spectrum with pre- selection of four noise types digitally stored in solid state memory. | | Medium | Two mini CDs (but could be expanded by providing a variety of music on additional discs). | Four CDs/audio tapes | Solid state memory. | | Characteristic | New Device | Predicate Device K974501 | Predicate Device K011364 | | Operation - continued | | | | | Volume control | Yes, user controlled with warning in the User Instruction Manual stating "To prevent the possible damage to your hearing the volume setting of the disc player should not be set at levels where you are uncomfortable with the sound". | Yes, user controlled with a note stating that the volume should always be set at a low level when first trying any CD. | Yes, user controlled within limits pre- programmed by the managing health professional. | | Distribution | To be sold via direct and indirect channels involving an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. | Currently sold and supported via mail order. | The sale and fitting of the Siemens Custon TCI will only be conducted through a Hearing Healthcare Professional, such as an audiologist or otolaryngologist. | | Components | The components of the complete TinniTech ANMP system include: Sound files on storage means (digital mini CDs)A high quality, digital MP3 mini CD player, of normal commercial supplyUser's Manual | The components of the complete predicate device system include: Sound files on storage means (digital CDs or Audio tapes)A digital CD or Audio Tape player, either portable or fixed of normal commercial supply or pre- existing in the home or car.User's Manual (called Workbook) | The Siemens Custom TCI is a fully digital, programmable, low level noise generator that is available in a full in-the-ear, half shell, in-the-canal, or helix shell.
