Abstract
The treatment of tinnitus may include a tinnitus therapy including generating a tinnitus therapy sound that is similar to a patient's perceived tinnitus sound. In one example, a method for generating a tinnitus adjusted sound may include presenting a plurality of different sound templates to a user from a series of tinnitus therapy sound templates, receiving a selection by the user of one or more of the templates, receiving an adjustment to one or more of the selected templates, and generating a therapy sound based on the adjusted selections.
Claims14
A method for generating a tinnitus adjusted sound, comprising:
- presenting a plurality of different sound templates to a user from a series of tinnitus therapy sound templates;
- receiving a selection by the user of one or more of the templates;
- receiving an adjustment to one or more of the selected templates, wherein receiving the adjustment to one or more of the selected templates includes receiving a white noise edge enhancement adjustment having an intensity level based on an edge enhancement intensity input;
- and
- generating a therapy sound based on the adjusted selections including based on the received white noise edge enhancement adjustment.
A method for creating a tinnitus therapy, comprising:
- presenting each of a white noise, a pure tone, and a combined tone tinnitus therapy sound template to a user;
- adjusting the tinnitus therapy sound based on at least one of a frequency parameter and an intensity parameter selected by the user;
- adjusting the tinnitus therapy sound first based on the frequency parameter, second based on the intensity parameter, third based on one or more timbre inputs, the one or more timbre inputs including one or more of an octave input and a harmonic input, fourth based on a reverberation input, and fifth based on an edge enhancement input when the tinnitus therapy sound template selected by the user is the pure tone tinnitus therapy sound template;
- and
- generating a tinnitus therapy sound based on the tinnitus therapy sound template selected by the user including based on the adjusted tinnitus therapy sound.
A method for creating a tinnitus therapy, comprising:
- presenting each of a white noise, a pure tone, and a combined tone tinnitus therapy sound template to a user;
- adjusting the tinnitus therapy sound based on at least one of a frequency parameter and an intensity parameter selected by the user, wherein the combined tone tinnitus therapy template is a combined pure tone and broad band noise tinnitus therapy sound template and further comprising adjusting the tinnitus therapy sound first based on the frequency parameter, second based on a Q factor input, third based on the intensity parameter, fourth based on a timbre input, the timbre input including one or more of an octave input and a harmonic input, fifth based on a reverberation input, and sixth based on an edge enhancement input when the tinnitus therapy sound template selected by the user is the combined pure tone and broad band noise tinnitus therapy sound template;
- and
- generating a tinnitus therapy sound based on the tinnitus therapy sound template selected by the user including based on the adjusted tinnitus therapy sound.
