9 Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module
9.1 Intended use for the TSG module
Your Beltone hearing aid includes the Tinnitus Sound Generator function, a tool for generating sounds to be
used in tinnitus management programmes to relieve suffering from tinnitus.
The Tinnitus Sound Generator 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 therapeu-
tic sound resembling a continuous or fluctuating whistling.

9.2.2 Explanation of how the device functions
The TSG module is a frequency and amplitude shaped white-noise generator. Noise signal level and fre-
quency characteristics can be adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs as determined by your doctor,

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.
