Because there is currently no proven cure for tinnitus, ways of managing the condition generally focus on relieving the symptoms and helping the individual learn effective coping strategies. If a hearing loss accompanies the tinnitus, an audiologist may fit the individual with a hearing aid designed to provide a form of therapy for tinnitus if the level of hearing loss can be properly addressed with a hearing instrument.
Phonak Hearing Instruments has released a new generation of hearing aid technology equipped with a "Tinnitus Balance Noise Generator." Activated by the audiologist, the Audeo Q generates a sound with the purpose of directing attention away from the noises of tinnitus and reducing its annoyance. The Audeo Q also features advanced technology including wireless connection to televisions and cell phones and automatic adjustments in various listening environments.
