Abstract
A computer-implemented method monitors a background SPL. The method also determines that the background SPL is below a first SPL threshold. A speaker of an auditory device plays white noise. The method, responsive to determining that the white noise has played for a first length that meets a first time threshold or that the background SPL meets the first SPL threshold, stops playing the white noise. The method further includes continuing to monitor the background SPL until the background SPL is below the first SPL threshold.
