    Ask the people on this board with severe T+H that have spent months/years in isolation because of their condition... nope, at best you may "habituate" to it. What do you mean by will the brain "filter" it?

    I guess some short of TRT, learning the brain that the T is an unimportant signal.

    TRT generally involves some sort of whitenoise/sound enrichment treatment. What you're describing may be similar to the "Back to silence" approach that gets mentioned on this board, which I haven't read much about.

    @SilverSpiral One of the theories about T is that everyone has some random noise but most of the brains are filtering it out. Ours don't

    "Back to silence" method has nothing to do with sitting in a soundproof room. Nothing would happen, you would just avoid to make your condition worse because of loud noise... I'm staying long enough in silence to confirm that. By the way you would still hear things : eating, moving, brushing your teeth. A week with NO noise is not possible.

    @Foncky I didn't mean that back to silence involved soundproof rooms, I meant that it involves not avoiding/ignoring hearing your T to change your response to it. That's the closest thing I could think would relate to this, as it is a form of habituation, and I know that what Jurgen was talking about would do nothing by itself.
