Abstract
Proposed are a method and device of determining optimal complex stimuli for tinnitus treatment. The method of determining the optimal complex stimuli for tinnitus treatment includes: identifying one or more sound stimuli selected by a user input from among a plurality of sound stimuli; identifying one or more electrical stimuli selected by the user input from among a plurality of electrical stimuli; determining a first complex stimulus sequence of complex stimuli in which the one or more selected sound stimuli and the one or more selected electrical stimuli are combined; and applying the complex stimuli to a user, wearing a tinnitus treatment device, according to the determined first complex stimulus sequence.

A method of determining optimal complex stimuli for tinnitus treatment, the method comprising:
- identifying two or more sound stimuli selected by a user input from among a plurality of sound stimuli;
- identifying two or more electrical stimuli selected by the user input from among a plurality of electrical stimuli;
- determining a first complex stimulus sequence of a plurality of complex stimuli in which the two or more selected sound stimuli and the two or more selected electrical stimuli are combined, wherein each of the plurality of complex stimuli consists of a sound stimulus selected from among the two or more sound stimuli and an electrical stimulus selected from among the two or more electrical stimuli;
- applying the plurality of complex stimuli in the first complex stimulus sequence to a user, wearing a tinnitus treatment device, according to the determined first complex stimulus sequence;
- changing at least one of a duration of each of one or more complex stimuli among the plurality of complex stimuli in the first complex stimulus sequence and a stimulus order between two or more complex stimuli among the plurality of complex stimuli in the first complex stimulus sequence on the basis of an effect diagnosis score for each of the plurality of complex stimuli in the first complex stimulus sequence;
- determining a second complex stimulus sequence of the plurality of complex stimuli based on the changed at least one of the duration and the stimulus order;
- and
- applying the plurality of complex stimuli in the second complex stimulus sequence to the user, wearing the tinnitus treatment device, according to the determined second complex stimulus sequence.
A device of determining optimal complex stimuli for tinnitus treatment, the device comprising:
- a sound stimulus generator configured to generate a sound stimulus;
- an electrical stimulus generator configured to generate an electrical stimulus;
- a user input receiver configured to receive a user input;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the controller:
- identifies two or more sound stimuli selected by the user input received through the user input receiver from among a plurality of sound stimuli,
- identifies two or more electrical stimuli selected by the user input received through the user input receiver from among a plurality of electrical stimuli,
- determines a first complex stimulus sequence of a plurality of complex stimuli in which the two or more selected sound stimuli and the two or more selected electrical stimuli are combined, wherein each of the plurality of complex stimuli consists of a sound stimulus selected from among the two or more sound stimuli and an electrical stimulus selected from among the two or more electrical stimuli,
- applies the plurality of complex stimuli in the first complex stimulus sequence to the user, wearing a tinnitus treatment device, through the sound stimulus generator and the electrical stimulus generator according to the determined first complex stimulus sequence,
- changes at least one of a duration of each of one or more complex stimuli among the plurality of complex stimuli in the first complex stimulus sequence and a stimulus order between two or more complex stimuli among the plurality of complex stimuli in the first complex stimulus sequence on the basis of an effect diagnosis score for each of the plurality of complex stimuli in the first complex stimulus sequence,
- determines a second complex stimulus sequence of the plurality of complex stimuli based on the changed at least one of the duration and the stimulus order, and
- applies the plurality of complex stimuli in the second complex stimulus sequence to the user;
- wearing the tinnitus treatment device, through the sound stimulus generator and the electrical stimulus generator according to the determined second complex stimulus sequence.
