Tinnitus Masker – Hearing Aid.
Tinnitus maskers (or tinnitus noisers) are small machines that drown out or mask the sounds experienced as a result of your tinnitus. Many people find that by using a masker, they are better able to focus, relax, and fall asleep.
Tinnitus maskers generate and emit broad-band or narrow-band noise at low levels, designed to drown out the auditory sensations of tinnitus. They produce this white or pink noise to add an artificial sound to your environment.
These noises don’t work in the same way as music however, as they are specific tones that are effective in dampening the noise in your ears.
The perceived loudness of tinnitus, or the sensation level (SL), is how much louder your tinnitus is above the ambient noise of the environment. Maskers work by raising the ambient level of noise by producing white noise, reducing the loudness of tinnitus as a result.
The aim of tinnitus maskers is that both the ringing in your ears and the masking sound will be delegated to the background of your attention, giving you a break from relentless internal noise.
