Or you can find yourself an isolation tank.
- wahnfrieden 13y agoAre there tanks engineered for those with tinnitus? Sensory deprivation + tinnitus only means screamingly loud ringing for me - nightmarish.
- maaku 13y agoThis is a total aside, but I've always wondered: is the ringing a repeating waveform? If you could discover its structure through trial and error (e.g, cycling through pure tones and looking for beat frequencies), could you create an anti-ringing real waveform that nullifies the tinnitus? In other words make a hearing aide + your ear physiology act like a noise cancelling headphone, at least as far as your auditory nerves are concerned.
- wahnfrieden 13y agoMy limited understanding is that it is from one of the hairs in your inner ear being bent or broken in some way - the hair itself doesn't move, but since it's bent in the way airwaves could are able to bend it momentarily, the brain interprets it as it being in that momentary state permanently. Waveform cancellation happens at a physical level - it wouldn't "unbend" the hair as the hair isn't actually moving. I don't actually know though, this is just my understanding.
- kmm 13y agoSome people get surgery to cut their cochlear nerve, and they still hear it. Tinnitus often originates in the brain.
- raverbashing 13y agoYou can't cancel something (using sound) that has origins in a deeper area of the hearing system (usually the nerves or the brain)
