Hi Brian,

I think this is part of the stepped care (or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Tinnitus) methodology developed by Rilana Cima of Maastricht University. She refers to it as 'exposure techniques'. I have attached her 2012 paper.

Kind greetings,

I have had tinnitus for over 30 years, and just recently I found a method that actually mitigates it to some extent (as opposed to masking it). It involves listening to my tinnitus, separating out the tonal components. I find when I do this, the tinnitus lessens noticeably in severity, and becomes highly lateralized.

I have not found anything on the Web relating to this, so I was wondering if anyone on the list knew of any research or therapies in this area. It has a lot of advantages: it's non-invasive, easy to implement and free!

Many thanks,

Brian Gygi, Ph.D.
