Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

Hello everyone.

This thread has been going for quite some time.

What are the results so far for the ones using notched music therapy?

 

I tried it for white noise but didn't find any difference. Maybe I didn't use it for long enough.

I can't listen to white noise any more because it aggravates my hyperacusis, so I'd be interested to hear about people's results using notching with regular music or ACRN.

 

I'm an audio engineer and I have just created a pink noise masker which mask some of the tones.

I used iZotope RX to generate a 30s loop of white noise and then used a Eq with a high Q factor to notch out my tinnitus frequencies. It successfully hides the tones.

I'm not sure if this would delay habituation but it gives me a little relief for a minute.

I thought I share.

I'm going to synthesise my full array of tinnitus tones before my ENT appointment so that the Audiologist can get an idea of my situation.

 

^ I plan to do the same with Audacity. I cannot figure out my tinnitus frequency. However, by running a pure tone sound through all frequencies I found I am half deaf in left ear between frequencies 7100-7300 Hz. It is very strange when the pure tone sound completely disappears in that range only to reappear when moving past the frequency range. I never realized hearing loss can be in so narrow area.

 

I just got done making an hour's worth of notched music for 8000 Hz tinnitus.
