Even an imagined sound has a frequency (and probably?) a phase.
It might be possible to generate a tone at the same frequency and shift the phase until it's 180 degrees out of phase with the imagined sound. Perhaps the brain would do the math and cancel the imagined sound?
This can't really be automated since there's no way to measure the imagined sound, but it might be possible to make a little box with knobs - pitch, phase, and volume - that would all one to tune a cancellation frequency.
- Quequau 7y agoI am very active in a lot of online tinnitus forums. If that worked it would have been shown to years ago because it gets tried over and over and over and over and over. Seems like it's a common idea that gets stuck in technically oriented folks heads and they're compelled to some how force it to work. It doesn't work.
