User instructions for the TSG module
Description of the device
The Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) Module is a software tool that generates sounds to be used in tinnitus
management programs to temporarily relieve suffering from tinnitus.
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 with the purpose of
making 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 synchronisation, this functionality can be enabled by
your hearing care professional. This will cause the Tinnitus Sound Generator to synchronise the sound in both
hearing aids.
If your tinnitus troubles you only 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 via an optional volume control. Your doctor, audiologist or hearing care professional will review with you
the need for having such a control.
