13  Tinnitus Sound Generator module

13.1  Intended use for TSG module

Your hearing aid includes the Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module, a 

tool for generating sounds to be used in tinnitus management programmes 

to relieve suffering from tinnitus. 

The TSG can generate sounds adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs 

and your personal preference as determined by your doctor, audiologist, or 

hearing care professional. 

Depending on the selected hearing aid programme and the environment 

you are in, you will sometimes hear the therapeutic sound resembling a 

continuous or fluctuating noise. 

13.2  User instructions for TSG

13.2.1  Description of device

The Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) Module is a software tool that 

generates sounds to be used in tinnitus management programmes to 

relieve suffering from tinnitus.

13.2.2    Explanation of how the device functions

The TSG module is a frequency and amplitude shaped white-noise 

generator. Noise signal level and frequency characteristics can be adjusted 

to the specific therapeutic needs as determined by your doctor, audiologist 

or hearing care professional. 

Your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional can modulate the 

generated noise with the purpose of making it more pleasant. The noise 

can then resemble, for example, crashing waves on a shore. 

Modulation level and speed can also be configured to your likes and needs. 

An additional feature can be enabled by your hearing care professional that 

allows you to select predefined sounds that simulate sounds from nature, 

such as breaking waves or running water.
