Explanation of how the device functions
The TSG module is a frequency and amplitude shaped white-noise generator. The noise signal level and
frequency characteristics can be adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs as determined by your doctor,
audiologist, or hearing care professional.
Your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care professional can modulate the generated noise in order to make it more
pleasant. The noise can then resemble, for example, breaking waves on a shore.
Modulation level and speed can also be configured to your likes and needs. An additional feature can be enabled
by your hearing care professional that allows you to select predefined sounds that simulate sounds from nature,
such as breaking waves or running water.
If you have two wireless hearing aids that support ear-to-ear synchronization, this functionality can be enabled by
your hearing care professional. This will cause the Tinnitus Sound Generator to synchronize the sound in both
hearing aids.
If your tinnitus only troubles you in quiet environments, your doctor, audiologist, or hearing care professional can
set the TSG Module so that it becomes audible exclusively in such surroundings. The overall sound level can be
adjusted using 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 TSG 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, 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.
