As part of our commitment to always provide you with the most comprehensive and effective toolkit of tinnitus therapy options, we’re pleased to introduce a new and clinically proven tinnitus therapy approach. Notch Therapy is Signia’s proprietary and patented sound therapy, which has been shown to be especially effective against tonal tinnitus, a very common type of tinnitus.

Unlike other therapy approaches that work by providing an additional noise or audible sound to the patient, Signia Notch Therapy provides amplification with a notch filter set to correspond to the individual’s tinnitus frequency.

Setting up Notch Therapy for your tinnitus patient is easy, and requires no specialized training. Connexx intuitively guides you through some simple steps to determine your patient’s tinnitus frequency, and automatically sets up the notch amplification in the hearing aid accordingly.

Hearing impairments can occur in all parts of the ear; dysfunctions of the outer or middle ear can generally be treated with medication or surgery. However, a good 80 % of all hearing impairments are caused by dysfunctions of or damage to the inner ear. Today, modern hearing aids can compensate for most inner ear damage.

However, no two cases of hearing loss are the same. Most often people with a hearing impairment are unable to distinguish soft tones and high-pitched sounds and have difficulties hearing sounds such as whispers, children’s voices or birdsong.

When we hear a sound in both ears, it’s like hearing the same sound twice. This helps our brain create a better perceptual image of the sound. With hearing loss, this effect is significantly reduced. Wearing two hearing instruments helps to bring back the benefit of binaural redundancy.

In situations where there is both noise and speech, hearing with both ears helps our brain to give speech sounds preference to noise. This makes speech seem louder than it really is. With hearing loss, this effect is significantly reduced. Wearing two hearing instruments helps to bring back the benefit of binaural squelch.

In noisy situations with many different sounds coming from different places, hearing with both ears helps our brain pick out the one single sound source we’re interested in and focus on it. With hearing loss, this effect is significantly reduced. Wearing two hearing instruments helps to bring back the benefit of binaural directed listening.
