Widex SoundRelax

USING SOUND IN TINNITUS MANAGEMENT

Sounds used in tinnitus management can be amplified sound from hearing aids, environmental sounds, music, or noise from noise generators. Using sound in this way can help minimize the contrast between the tinnitus and the surrounding sound environment to provide relief from the annoying sound. Sound ‘therapy’ also aids in relaxation. As stress is one of the highest exacerbating factors involved with tinnitus, stress reduction is a vital element in effective tinnitus management.

Widex SoundRelax™ fractal tones expand on the available sound repertoire first introduced with the Zen tones. SoundRelax tones are inspired by nature sounds, differing from the Zen tones, which are based on certain times of music. The SoundRelax tones are based on fractal technology and play random, chime-like tones that can be used for relaxation and for making tinnitus less noticeable.

What is fractal technology?

Fractal technology is based on a mathematical algorithm and ensures that there are no sudden changes in tonality or tempo. The tones repeat enough to sound familiar and follow appropriate rules but vary enough to not be predictable. This means that they are not associated with music, which you might memorize and therefore become “immune” to its relaxation and tinnitus masking effects.
