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 an optional 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).
To assist habituation to tinnitus, this needs to be audible. The ideal level of the TBP module, therefore,
should be set so that it starts to blend with the tinnitus, and so that you can hear both your tinnitus as well as
the sound used.
In a majority of instances, the TBP module can also be set to mask the tinnitus sound, so to provide
temporary relief by introducing a more pleasant and controllable sound source.
