They are prescribed for those people with hearing loss who do not have significant relief with a hearing aid alone. Dispenser or user adjustments permit selection of broad band or high or low frequency emphasis noise and aid response. It is essentially a tinnitus masker with a hearing aid added. Programmable volume controls are provided: one for noise level and the other for hearing aid gain. The dispenser, audiologist or user can mix the amount of noise and amplification as required. #### Intended Use: The Evok 900 series are designed for individuals who experience tinnitus and also have a hearing loss. The Evok 900 series are custom and standard air conduction hearing aids with the capacity to generate broad-band noise from its circuit. The broad-band noise generator is intended for tinnitus masking therapy. It is recommended that these devices be fit by a qualified audiologist or other hearing healthcare professional familiar with the diagnosis of tinnitus and subsequent rehabilitation therapy. ## Target Population: The target population for this product is the adult population 18 years of age and older. The target group for this product includes individuals reporting tinnitus who can also benefit from an air conduction hearing aid. #### Technological Characteristics: The technological similarities to the predicate are based on the materials, construction and internal circuits used by Class I Hearing aids in Behind The Ear or inside the ear canal (Custom). Another characteristic is that the Hearing Aid will have the option to be a Tinnitus masking sound generator. This is achieved by programmable acoustical properties contained in the hybrid circuit built into the device. {3}------------------------------------------------ ### Non-Clinical Performance Data: The non-clinical tests submitted in this 510(k) demonstrate the electroacoustic properties of our devices and how similar in test results parameters they are. Since these devices are basically Class I device Hearing Aids, the years these devices have been in market have established a safety track record that substantiates they are safe to market. ### Substantial equivalence: The Evok 900 series are designed to provide tinnitus masking and amplification for hearing loss in the same device. This is also true for the General Hearing Tranquil custom devices and the GN Resound Live TS BTE, OTE and RIE (also referred to in the Hearing Aid industry as RIC) products. The Evok 900 series, General Hearing Tranquil custom devices and the GN Resound Live TS all contain circuits which can be programmed to generate sound to the ear help mask the tinnitus and decrease the perceived tinnitus. The Evok 900 series, General Hearing Tranquil custom devices and the GN Resound Live TS Tinnitus instruments combine the amplification of a hearing aid and the masking sound of a tinnitus masker. #### Risk to health: There is no known risk associated with the use of this device because the acoustical properties of the design do not allow amplification that is considered damaging in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95. #### Conclusion: The testing performed on the Evok 900 series are evidence that these devices are safe when used in accordance with the guidance of a qualified audiologist or other hearing healthcare professional familiar with the diagnosis of tinnitus and subsequent rehabilitation therapy. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
