- harywilke 7mo agoI kinda get it now, it's more of a way of studying induced deafness at certain frequencies that might be similar to the effect of tinnitus. If your tinnitus is at say 13khz, and someone turns on a sound at that frequency, you don't react to it because your mind is effectively masking it. I once played my tinnitus tone from this site https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ for my partner, when i turned it off i had the odd sensation that i couldn't tell if the sound actually stopped or not. I used to get some temporary relief from dialing in the tone on that site and listening it to a few minutes.
