Tinnitus is surprisingly common. About 30% of people experience it1, and it is estimated that 90% of people who suffer from tinnitus also experience some degree of hearing loss, though they may be unaware of it2.
Oticon hearing aids with Tinnitus SoundSupport give access to flexible and adjustable tinnitus sound therapy that is proven to reduce the impact of tinnitus by 47%3.
Manage tinnitus with flexible relief sounds
By enabling Tinnitus SoundSupport in Oticon Genie 2, you can meet the unique needs of each patient with tinnitus. It works on most Oticon hearing aids and performance levels from Velox onwards*.
Our integrated sound generator offers a wide range of sound options including broadband sounds (shaped to audiogram, White, Pink & Red) and ocean-like sounds. The nature sounds are dynamic, yet soothing, and have proven their worth in reducing the impact of tinnitus for Oticon hearing aid users3.
Sound therapy on the go
The Oticon Companion app gives users of Oticon hearing aids the ability to adjust their tinnitus relief sounds easily and discreetly.
With the Comfort Pulse feature, users have the flexibility to adjust their favourite relief sounds with different sound patterns, to suit their personal preferences and needs throughout the day.

MoreSound Intelligence 3.0 provides world-class sound quality by using the open sound principle to give access to the full and rich world of sound around us. Crucially, it does this without overwhelming hearing aid users with uncomfortable and unwelcome sound.
This may positively influence your patients’ level of stress in otherwise challenging situations and allow them to focus on sounds that matter in their day-to-day lives.
With this shift in focus, your patients’ perspective on their tinnitus can be positively affected. Having meaningful sounds surrounding the individual allows them to embrace a balanced, pleasant sound scene that can reduce the overall impact of tinnitus on their everyday life.
