Chapter 23 - Mixing, Not Masking, is the Long Term Solution 29.01.2024 1:49
Non-meaningful sound must be mixed or matched with tinnitus. If you try and mask tinnitus the brain cannot change the nerve connections that affect it so easily. The brain may even increase the loudness of tinnitus so that it can be noticed over the masking sound!
Chapter 22 - What is Happening In My Head Now? 29.01.2024 1:40
If a change is made in the emotional evaluation of tinnitus or the ease that tinnitus is noticed, then the connections in the brain that made tinnitus a problem change. This reduces the frequency with which tinnitus occurs in the future and diminishes the negative feeling associated with it. (See diagram in the cover image)
