Re: [AUDITORY] Listening to your tinnitus?

Somehow related, although it is not as counscious listening as Dr Gygi initially mentioned, but while sleeping:

"The Levo System, an FDA-cleared medical device, is designed to mimic the specific sound of a patient’s individual tinnitus, the system’s developer, Otoharmonics, announced. The patient is instructed to listen to the Sound Match nightly through custom-fit ear buds while sleeping. Over time, according to Otoharmonics, the brain is said to naturally learn to “ignore” the tinnitus sound,  to improve the patient’s quality of life."

I have had tinnitus for over 30 years, and just recently I found a method that actually mitigates it to some extent (as opposed to masking it).  It involves listening to my tinnitus, separating out the tonal components.  I find when I do this, the tinnitus lessens noticeably in severity, and becomes highly lateralized.   




I have not found anything on the Web relating to this, so I was wondering if anyone on the list knew of any research or therapies in this area.  It has a lot of advantages: it's non-invasive, easy to implement and free! 




Many thanks,
