Phonak Tinnitus Balance hearing aids
For many patients, amplification is an effective first step in managing their tinnitus. The amplified sounds from a properly fitted hearing
aid is often an effective form of sound therapy, providing distraction from the tinnitus and reducing the stress associated with
compromised hearing. For additional sound therapy support, a broadband noise generator can be enabled within Phonak Target™ fitting
software.
Phonak Tinnitus Balance hearing aids are Audéo Q RIC and Phonak Venture products in all form factors.
The Tinnitus Balance noise generator is available in all form factors of Phonak Venture and Phonak Audéo Q hearing aids. The noise
provides a means of sound enrichment that can be used as part of a tinnitus management program.
The spectral characteristics of the noise can be adjusted to meet each client’s specific needs. The default characteristics are calculated
based on the client’s audiogram; alternatively, white or pink noise can be selected. The noise generator can be incorporated into the
automatic program or as an additional manual program
Using Phonak Target™, the hearing care professional is able to:
•
Adjust spectral characteristics such as bandwidth and volume level of the noise
•
Select in which program(s) (automatic or manual) the noise generator is enabled
•
Create a noise-only program
The Tinnitus Balance noise generator provides a means of sound enrichment that can be used as part of a tinnitus management program
to provide temporary relief from tinnitus.
