Audio Game May Help Soften Tinnitus's Din

Just found this article in the Boston Globe

There's been a little bit of research at Nottingham NHBRU with audio games.

I think they could be a good thing, interested to know more about the retraining part, if they believe they can actually quieten tinnitus with it. I've only seen them spoken of as helping to tune it out before.

 

I wonder what the mechanism behind this theory is. In other words, how will this game stop tinnitus?

 

Wonder if the game is tailored to the individual's t frequency range.
Residual Inhibition for example, in my opinion, has been greatly overlooked. As well as confusing the t signal at neighboring frequencies. If playing your t tone for a minute can give a few moments relief, imagine what ongoing studies of this could achieve.

 

Maybe you wanna check out this thread:

These guys are working on the aspect of residual inhibition. Personally I don't think it's overlooked. All the sound based therapies are spawned out of this idea. Even the vagus nerve stimulation thing.

 

Think what I meant to say is that there is more to discover with it. It's a very powerful aspect of t, one that works with most of us.

 

And acrn

This is a great concept. I wonder if we could get the app if we asked them nicely?

 

Indeed. Could anybody try to get a beta for TT?

 

Does anybody know these people? It's always best to go through personal contacts. Anybody here even from Boston?!

 

Link to the game app? Or a name even?
