WHY
does high-pitched tinnitus occur?
- Damage
or decay in the hearing system means there is a deficiency
in the full range of audio frequencies delivered to the
brain. Usually, it's the uppermost frequencies that get
lost.
- Sometimes
tinnitus results. This acts like a noise signal that covers
up this deficiency or 'lack'.
WHAT
does Detinnitising do?
- It
pushes the tinnitus out with a special sound signal that
demands more processing resources from the human hearing
system. It's the structure of this signal that's important,
not its volume. So it can be quiet, working in the background.
- The
full perception of hearing involves processing sounds
successively at more complex levels. The more of these
levels that can be engaged at the same time, the greater
will be the tinnitus suppression.
HOW
does Detinnitising achieve this?
- To
most effectively soak up all the processing capacity of
the hearing system, a Detinnitising signal should include
the following characteristics:
- It
should be restricted in bandwidth to match the tinnitus.
- It
should be a discontinuous (rather than an unchanging)
stimulus.
-
It should include information-bearing sound content.
The Detinnitising
CDs keep the lower processing levels in the auditory system
occupied.
The Detinnitising Amplifier intensifies the action of the
CDs and also keeps the higher processing levels occupied.

DEPTH page, which sets out the theory in detail.
