If you have two wireless hearing aids that support ear-to-ear synchronisation, this functionality can be
enabled by your hearing care professional. This will cause the Tinnitus Breaker Pro to synchronise the
sound in both hearing aids.
If your tinnitus troubles you only in quiet environments, your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional
can set the TBP Module so that it becomes audible exclusively in such surroundings. The overall sound level
can be adjusted via a volume control. Your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional will review with
you the need for having such a control.
For hearing aids where ear-to-ear synchronization is enabled, your hearing care professional can also
enable environmental monitoring synchronization so that the TBP noise level is automatically adjusted
simultaneously in both hearing aids dependent on the background sound level. Additionally since the
hearing aid has a volume control then the background noise level monitored by the hearing aid and the
volume control can be used simultaneously to adjust the generated noise level in both hearing aids.
The scientific concepts that form the basis for the device
The TBP module provides sound enrichment with the aim of surrounding the tinnitus sound with a neutral
sound which is easily ignored. Sound enrichment is an important component of most approaches to tinnitus
management, such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT).
