耳鳴り治療の3つのモード
ノイズモード（サウンドジェネレータ）
- ノイズ（治療音）のみを流します。無難聴性の耳鳴りや、軽度難聴を伴った耳鳴り、周囲が静かな環境用のモードです。
補聴器モード
- 補聴器としてのみ働きます。難聴と耳鳴り、双方の症状がある場合に選択し、周囲の環境音を聞いて耳鳴りを軽減させます。
ミックスモード（コンビ）
- ノイズと補聴器機能の両方を利用します。軽～中等度難聴を伴った耳鳴りで、補聴器からの環境音だけでは耳鳴りへの意識レベルが下がらないときに使用します。
Static noise tinnitus therapy signals
Soft and gentle sounds that take away the annoyance of tinnitus
Signia hearing aids feature a tinnitus noiser function that generates additional sound in the form of a soft therapy signal. This effectively distracts wearers from the tinnitus, helping them to relax and enjoy life. In addition to a range of preset signals, the therapy signals can be customized to specific needs.
Static noise therapy signals use a form of sound that mixes in with the tinnitus sounds and distracts from it. Signia hearing aids offer five different types of signal so that you can help your clients to choose the most comfortable solution.
Configure the static signals “Pink”, “White”, “Speech”, “High Tone”, or “Brownian” freely in Connexx and shape them individually to meet the specific needs of your clients.

Ocean wave tinnitus therapy signals
What could be more relaxing than the sound of a seashore?
Inspired by the tranquil sound of the sea lapping against the shore, ocean wave therapy signals replicate the relaxing feeling of being on a beach. Ocean wave therapy signals mimic the sound of the sea to provide a positive, soothing, and stress-relieving listening experience.
In Connexx you can choose from four fluctuating signals: “Rocky Beach”, “Boulder Beach”, “Pebble Beach”, or “Paradise Beach”. The new “Paradise Beach” signal was developed together with tinnitus key expert Dr. Pawel Jastreboff.

World’s first: Tinnitus Notch Therapy
Removing the sounds of tinnitus for a truly peaceful experience
Signia hearing aids are the only ones with in-built Notch Therapy, which can reduce the effects of tinnitus and may even make it disappear completely.*
Notch Therapy is a well-researched and clinically proven tinnitus therapy approach that’s been shown to be especially effective for people who experience tonal tinnitus, the most common type of tinnitus.
When tonal tinnitus is accompanied by hearing loss, Notch Therapy offers the potential of eliminating the tinnitus completely*. By permanently relegating the tinnitus sounds into the background over a long period, the overstimulation is reduced and the brain ‘learns’ to no longer hear the tinnitus sounds, making life without tinnitus a real possibility. Unlike the static noise and ocean wave approaches, which introduce an additional therapy sound, Notch Therapy treats tinnitus inaudibly and unobtrusively.

Tinnitus therapy with noise signals
By introducing an additional, pleasant sound, traditional therapy “covers” the annoying tinnitus sounds, thus distracting the wearer from it.
Dark grey = Tinnitus frequency
Light grey = Amplified background sounds
Red = Tinnitus therapy
Dark grey = Tinnitus frequency
Light grey = Amplified background sounds
Red = Tinnitus therapy
Notch therapy
With Notch Therapy, the tinnitus frequency is precisely defined. Amplification of the frequency is then reduced so that it is integrated harmoniously into the overall background sound.
Connexx: Tailoring the therapy to the individual
Using Connexx and input from the hearing aid wearer, tonal tinnitus can be precisely defined and Notch Therapy adjusted. The menu leads you step-by-step to the optimum solution. Finally, the various hearing programs can be set up with different types of tinnitus therapy – static noises, ocean waves or Notch Therapy – for a completely personalized solution.
Frequency and volume of the tonal tinnitus are defined by automatic matching, manual matching or manual entry.
With the frequency check at the end of the adjustment process, you can ensure that the correct tinnitus frequency has been selected.
If all settings are correct, the tinnitus frequency notch can be set precisely. As a result, the annoying sound is relegated permanently into the background, making life without tinnitus a real possibility.
