The Tinnitus Balance noise generator is a broadband
sound Generator which may have been enabled in your
hearing aid. It provides a means of sound enrichment
that can be used as part of a personalized tinnitus
management program to provide temporary relief from
tinnitus. It should always be used as prescribed by your
audiologist. The underlying principle of sound enrichment
is to provide supplementary noise stimulation which can
help defocus your attention from your tinnitus and avoid
negative reactions. Sound enrichment, coupled with
instructional counseling, is an established approach to
managing tinnitus.
Good health practice requires that a person reporting
tinnitus have a medical evaluation by a licensed ear
physician before using a sound generator. The purpose of
such an evaluation is to ensure medically treatable
conditions that may be causing tinnitus are identified
and treated prior to using a sound generator.
