Residual Inhibition and Habituation

no matter how much i read and investigate i have yet to understand how playing noises that match the frequencies of our tinnitus manages to stop the tinnitus for a short time...how curious

and yet the path towards habituation seems almost to be the opposite, one where we dont mask the tinnitus and in fact listen to sounds or "notched" music that fills the spectrum of hearing that we still have while staying away from the frequencies where there is damaged hearing...very strange

i wonder what would happen if we could fill the ear with a broad spectrum of all frequencies the normal human ear can hear, ...at a low volume, so we are sure not to do damage

would we get habituation and residual inhibition?

 

Hi, good point, what I can tell you is ANM Have a device called the T30CR, they program 4 tones 1 matching the tone of your T and the other 3 bellow and above, there have been reports that it stops Tinnitus just like you have mentioned, here's some info https://www.tinnitustalk.com/thread...n-a-new-treatment-for-tinnitus.219/#post-1317

 

Joe...thanks...looks interesting

 

Does anybody know how residual inhibition works ? What's the mechanism behind that momentarily relief ?

 

Does anyone have an answer to this?

 

Anybody?????

 

I think i read somewhere that listening to noise that matches your t frequency causes lateral inhibition???
