SOUND MASKING THERAPY FOR TINNITUS
The human brain can focus only on one thing at a time. It always focuses on the pleasurable thing. Applying this theory, sound masking therapy is performed in tinnitus patients.
Here very low-pitched, relaxing & pleasurable sounds (white noise, low-pitched instrumental music, or ocean waves noise) are used to mask the sound of tinnitus. So, the patient can focus less on tinnitus.
