If you take control of tinnitus, you can significantly minimise its impact.
A hearing care professional can help you manage your particular symptoms using a combination of education, counselling and sound therapy.
How to treat tinnitus
Select Oticon hearing aids have embedded Tinnitus SoundSupport to provide sound therapy to anyone with tinnitus. On-demand adjustments to relief sounds can be made via the Oticon Companion app.
Sound therapy doesn’t ‘get rid of tinnitus’ entirely. Instead, it makes the tinnitus much less annoying and bothersome by adding relief sounds such as rolling waves, pink noise, and white noise. These help by moving your attention away from the tinnitus and giving your brain more sound information to focus on.
Compare it to listening to a single violin in a room. Alone, you can only focus on the violin, but if you add a symphony orchestra to the violin, it becomes less distinct and part of the overall sound.
Oticon hearing aids significantly reduce the impact of tinnitus
Oticon hearing aids together with Tinnitus SoundSupport have been shown to reduce the impact of tinnitus by 47%1.
Researchers investigated both new and experienced hearing aid users before publishing this remarkable conclusion in a peer-reviewed journal.

Manage your tinnitus with relieving sounds
Select Oticon hearing aids can play different sounds to help relieve or mask tinnitus symptoms. This is because no single approach works for everyone. For the best tinnitus relief, you choose from a wide range of tinnitus relief sound options together with your hearing care professional. They will customise your Tinnitus SoundSupport to give you a selection of the sounds that help you best, from personalised, steady background sounds like white noise, or natural sounds such as soothing ocean-like sounds.
With Oticon hearing aids, you discreetly control your customised tinnitus relief sounds in your hearing aids using the Oticon Companion app* for iPhone and Android. You can adjust the sounds until they give the relief you need, wherever you find yourself needing it. What’s more, you can wirelessly stream alternative tinnitus relief options, such as your favourite music, audio books, podcasts, or even relaxation guides.
*The Tinnitus SoundSupport feature is only available in the app if it has been activated by the hearing care professional. Relief sounds are available in the app for select hearing aids.
