Tinnitus Masking
The Tinnitus Masking sound therapy offered in BeHear SMARTO may lessen the discomfort
caused by tinnitus, or “ringing in the ears”. When the Tinnitus Masking function is active in your
BeHear amplifier, it introduces an artificial masking noise to distract
your attention from the tinnitus.
The masking noise can be activated and adjusted using the BeHear
app.
• From the Home screen tap the button to access the Tinnitus
Masking settings.
• Use the slider to set the desired volume of the masking noise by
touching the round button on the scale and dragging it left (softer)
or right (louder).
• Setting the slider to the far-left position will deactivate the
masking noise. Moving the slider to the right will reactivate the
noise.
Note: All masking settings are hidden when the Tinnitus Masking is
inactive.
• To find the most comfortable masking sound, touch and hold a
square in the Masking Sound grid with your finger until you feel a
vibration. The change is applied immediately (a white frame will
appear around the relevant square). Repeat this with other
squares to find the position where the sound is most pleasant to
your ears. The Y axis represents changes in sharpness of the signal
(from fuzzy noise at the bottom to sharper tones at the top). The
X axis represents different sound frequencies, from low on the left
to high on the right.
• Choose the most comfortable Sound Modulation for the masking
noise by touching the round button on the scale and dragging it
left (Off) or right (Fast).
When the Off position is selected, the volume of the masking noise
is consistent.
When any other position is selected, the volume of the masking
noise will increase and decrease periodically. The period varies on
a scale from 10 sec to 1 sec (Fast).
• Set the desired Balance between left and right ears for the
masking noise by touching the round button on the scale and
dragging it Left or Right.
• Save your changes by tapping SAVE or restore all masking sound
settings to their factory defaults by tapping RESET.
