Tinnitus Sound

Tinnitus sound therapy is rather

high tech and works in a

method similar to noise

canceling headphones.

Current studies indicate that nearly 80% of

sufferers hear a constant, single

pitch tone.

Once the pitch perceived by the

patient is matched, audio equipment is used to reproduce

the sound and then invert the phase so

that the new audio is the acoustic inverse

of the original.

Once the correct note is obtained, it is

played back for the patient and the two sounds combine to

make no sound, effectively canceling

each other out.

Tinnitus sound therapy isn't a

cure, but a method of

helping sufferers cope.

In the initial stages of

treatment, patients submit to 30 minutes of listening to the inverted audio

for several sessions.

If he or she experiences a

reduction in the perception of in-ear

tones, a CD is produced with the

canceling signal to be used at home or with any personal stereo

system.
