Frequently asked questions

We recommend treating your symptoms with white noise for 6 to 8 hours a day for a period of 6 to 24 months.

The difference is that Tinearity G1 is small and uses bone conduction technology. This means that it introduces white noise into the ear via the skull. This results in the ear canal remaining unobstructed and making it possible to treat and relieve your tinnitus while you are at work, during your free time as well as while you sleep.

Whether you are asleep in your bed or working at the office, you can use Tinearity G1 on your own terms. Since we use bone conduction technology, the ear canal is left unobstructed, allowing you to hear sounds from your own environment. At the same time, there is no risk of irritation to the ear canal. Being able to use the device for longer periods of time without stress is the big advantage offered by Tinearity G1 compared to many other products which block the ear canal.

We offer an aid that has great flexibility of use for many people suffering to a greater or lesser degree from tinnitus and who wish to treat or relieve their symptoms using white noise.

By “flexibility”, this means that you can use Tinearity G1 anytime and anywhere without any hindrance to yourself or disturbance to others. The use of Tinearity G1 can go unnoticed in all kinds of situations, for example, while you’re at work, exercising, when you’re asleep or in a meeting. Tinearity G1 quite simply gives you the freedom of choice.

We want to be able to offer people who suffer from tinnitus a safe, secure and exclusive product that is based on a scientifically proven method. For this reason, Tinearity G1 is undergoing extensive testing and review and is being developed according to the regulatory requirements for CE marking class lla medical devices.

MedTech classified refers to the number of tests, quality assurance and reviews that both the development team and the product are subject to. By objectively assessing the classification by both internal and external resources, we have come to the conclusion that Tinearity is a class IIa medical device.

White noise is a term used for sounds that mask other naturally occurring sounds in our environment. It can help eliminate or at least minimise unwanted sounds and has been shown to be very effective in treating tinnitus. It has also been used to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, relieve pain and improve our ability to focus.

The application of low-level noise cushions the effects of the patient’s tinnitus, thereby allowing him or her to experience relief. The sound stimulator aims to help the brain perceive that its own tinnitus sounds emanate from the surroundings and are thus a part of natural background noise.

It is estimated that TRT can help around 70-80 percent of people suffering from tinnitus. In Sweden, the use of TRT has not yet become as widespread as in many other countries, but studies have shown that this treatment has helped many people who suffer from tinnitus.

Tinnitus occurs at all ages, even in children, but most people suffering from tinnitus are middle-aged or older. Symptoms can often improve with time and there are various options to relieve the discomfort.

Some 10 to 15 per cent of the population is estimated to experience tinnitus at some point. Approximately two per cent of a population have severe tinnitus – so severe that their symptoms greatly affect their quality of life. Many of those suffering from tinnitus have difficulty sleeping, experience nervousness, anxiety, depression, have difficulty concentrating and are also hypersensitive to sound (hyperacusis). Nevertheless, many people who suffer from tinnitus find peace, tranquillity and balance and learn to live with their symptoms.

At present, there is no cure for tinnitus. However, there are a range of different methods that can be used to relieve the condition.

TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy), is a method that reprograms how you perceive a sound. It is the only commonly accepted treatment method that is recommended by the majority of the scientific world. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is similar to TRT, as it teaches the patient to live with the symptoms of tinnitus. 70 to 80% of patients experience relief when Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is combined with white noise therapy.

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy is a treatment method for tinnitus where sound stimulation together with CBT is used to achieve habituation of reaction to tinnitus and habituation of perception of tinnitus.
