SOUND ENRICHMENT FOR THE RELIEF OF TINNITUS IN DEPENDENCE OF SOUND ENVIRONMENT CLASSIFICATION
First Claim
1. A sound enrichment system for provision of tinnitus relief, the sound enrichment system comprising:
- a noise generator;
an environment classifier that is configured to determine a classification of an ambient sound environment of the sound enrichment system;
a processing system for adjusting a noise signal based at least in part on the classification, wherein the noise signal is obtained using the noise generator; and
an output transducer for conversion of the adjusted noise signal to an acoustic signal for presentation to a user.

Abstract
A sound enrichment system for provision of tinnitus relief, the sound enrichment system includes a noise generator, an environment classifier that is configured to determine a classification of an ambient sound environment of the sound enrichment system, a processing system for adjusting a noise signal based at least in part on the classification, wherein the noise signal is obtained using the noise generator, and an output transducer for conversion of the adjusted noise signal to an acoustic signal for presentation to a user. A method of providing a noise enriched sound signal for provision of relief of tinnitus includes obtaining a noise signal, adjusting the noise signal based at least in part on a sound environment classification, generating an acoustic noise signal from the adjusted noise signal, and presenting the acoustic noise signal to a tinnitus suffering person.
