tinnitus help 2.06

The application 'Tinnitus Help' offers a comprehensive solution for individuals experiencing tinnitus, comprising eight distinct programs designed to alleviate symptoms. Developed by a team of experts, including a software engineer specializing in frequency analysis and a seasoned music psychologist and therapist with over 20 years of experience, the application utilizes only naturally produced sounds from musical instruments and nature, eschewing synthesizers. This approach has yielded positive outcomes in the treatment of tinnitus.

Among its many features, 'Tinnitus Help' is user-friendly and includes:

1. Accurate tinnitus frequency analysis
2. Tinnitus masking and noise generation
3. Reprogramming the auditory cortex
4. Stimulating central auditory perception

The application aids users in:

• Defocusing from tinnitus sounds
• Habituating to the perception of tinnitus
• Relaxation techniques
• Facilitating better sleep

'Tinnitus Help' operates on the principle that the same brain mechanisms responsible for perceiving auditory stimuli also contribute to tinnitus perception. By mapping an individual’s specific tinnitus frequency (up to 20,000 Hz), users can blend this frequency with soothing sounds or music, allowing for a gradual shift in the perception of the tinnitus sound towards the background. Regular engagement with personalized settings is intended to foster a process known as "habituation," where users learn to ignore their tinnitus.

The application involves three key steps:

1. Identifying your unique tinnitus frequency using a simple slide switch, accommodating various sound profiles whether from one ear or both.
2. Selecting a preferred sound to mix with your tinnitus frequency, assisting in the defocusing process while providing an individualized masking experience.
3. Engaging actively with programmed musical compositions tailored for tinnitus sufferers to help modulate auditory cortex activity. This repeats a positive learning experience that can effectively counteract the negative impacts of tinnitus.

The association of pleasant sounds with memory centers is harnessed to help individuals regain control over their auditory perception. Additionally, users are encouraged to stimulate their auditory cortex while supporting overall hearing function by integrating 'Tinnitus Help' into their daily routines.
