Fauquier ENT | Notched Audio White Noise Sampler of Different Notch Widths in the Treatment for Tinnitus @fauquierent | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 6 hours ago
There are many possible ways to treat tinnitus. Effective sound therapy like pink noise or white noise can significantly reduce the perceived loudness of tinnitus. Notched audio, however, is the next step beyond generic sound therapy and is tailored precisely to an individual's specific tinnitus frequency. Simply put, notched sound or audio therapy is one type of tinnitus treatment that can reduce the intensity or loudness of tinnitus by listening to special audio tracks on any device whether phone, car stereo, music player, etc.
The key change that must be made to the audio track, however, is that the specific tinnitus frequency that is experienced by a given individual must be completely removed from the audio track. By removing this specific sound frequency or "notching" the audio, the tinnitus itself then supplies the missing frequency sound in the audio track.
The second variable that needs to be addressed is how "wide" the frequency notching should be. Standard width is one octave, but can be as small as 0.25 or as wide as 4 octaves. The video demonstrates different sized widths when notched at 7000 Hz and how it affects the sound of a standard white noise.
The theory goes that when an individual turns off the notched audio sound, the brain will hear an absence of sound (obviously)... but more importantly may ALSO turn off the tinnitus sound. In practice, the tinnitus sound does not turn off for most, but does reduce in many tinnitus sufferers.
