What gives me the shits is that the device is nothing more than a dumbed down mp3 player. but with a 1,000% price mark up. It is disgusting. I have been doing some contract work in a hospital soon to open. All these medical suppliers have ridiculous prices on their products.

Any updates steve on a more accurate sequence? Very disappointing to hear it coming back though T_T Richard if you do decide to release, please post here. If someone is serious about a cure they can easily make a virtual machine running linux to use it.

A seashell must be nice. Almost soothing in the quiet.

The trials wants 4-6 hours a day.

So I have a boot camp ahead of me for 10 weeks. Whilst there I won't be able to bring anything to mask the sound of my tinnitus. It only bothers me in a silent room when trying to sleep. For the past 15 years I just used a fan. But at boot camp I obviously can't use that. Portable music devices...

Well it isn't well known in Korea. I lived there for almost 5 years and nobody who knew I had it mentioned it to me. I will have to ask my wife to source some for me (she is korean).

My ears ached a bit after using it for extended periods. You want to use it on the lowest possible volume that masks your tinnitus. I had to stop using my phone because it had 15 volume notches and after awhile even using at the 1st notch became too loud and annoying.

Yeah I can agree with that. Your brain does get like a tempo on a 30 second loop. I tried that mp3 you posted for an hour the other night. But didn't get much suppression out of it. I can't remember exactly because I used it before sleeping.

For 15 years I have just used a fan. That completely masks it. It is only really audible in silence. But then it is reasonably loud.

I would love to lower it. I will try it for an extended period tomorrow. I have a defence force hearing test next Friday and if it were lowered. It would help me a lot.

I just use them because I had access to them and figured they would be better. But when I was listening to tones before. It was via my phone at work using earphones.

Does your musical modulation mask your tinnitus? With noise cancelling headphones. I can still notice mine.

I haven't been able to do anything about this for awhile now. Been way too busy. But I have noticed my tinnitus is louder because I spent so much time focusing on the sound. It is now easier to focus on it without wanting to, making it often louder. :( Going to try the new sequences though. (...

Interesting. I might try again when I get some time off work.

I tried using this at work this week. I didn't get any RI after using for 6 hours each day. :cry: It was good because basically I am walking around a massive empty hospital. So it is pretty much absolute silence. But as soon as I took the headphones off I could hear it again.

I did a guesstimate at 3900. Because that is is the middle of tones 2 and 3 for the sample. Tone 2 was roughly 3500 and tone 3 was roughly 4300.

Well in the first article it had an image that shows that the 4 tones should be within your tinnitus range. (page 140) I guess it assumes your T frequency is in the middle of that range. Do you get any RI at all?

The pitch spacing came from plotting the spectrum of a sample. Those numbers had the same visual spacing as shown in the first article(page 140). So I assumed it was just the same for everyone. I think I figured out why I can't match my tinnitus. I think it is dual tone. One at around 7k and...

Here is the article Thanks for the mp3s

Also... Does anyone understand this? "The proper spacing of pitches of the different CR tones should be optimal in the following sense: (i) Because of the overlapping frequency response properties of central auditory neurons given by the tuning curves, the spacing should not be too narrow to...

Well fluffing around today, I found my tinnitus has two parts. One sound which I can't really describe, and a sine of around 5-6khz. Usually it starts with the first, then after being quite for awhile the sine kicks in. After doing some testing. It is easy to get RI on the sine tone. But the...

Hmm I downloaded the ones you just posted and it sounds the same. Wonder if it matters. The one in the sample sounds like a whistle, but yours sound like a xylophone.

How long have you been participating Steve? Have you noticed any reduction. I am confused as hell about my tinnitus. I can't match the frequency. The audiologist said it where I would be where I have hearing loss which is around 6000-7300. But that sounds too high and when I make a tone sequence...

Alright I got it working, the semi tone transpose thing is a bit weird. It changes it sometimes and sometimes doesn't. Also the default value started at 11. I hope I am editing it in the right place. Usually increasing worked, but decreasing didn't. But also it seems that midi made the sounds...

Damn, apparently no one has cracked it. And the demo is useless because you can't open files. Back to version 5 to try again.

Is notched music effective at that super high frequency? That would be safe. Downloading the reason 6.5 demo, maybe I can find a serial or something.

OK so I need to source version 6. Can you save in legacy format for version 5?

Ahh ok, I was hitting a problem which is why it wasn't making sense. When I try to load that .reason file. It said upsupported file type. So I could only create the instrument using the hertz synth file. What version did you make it in. I have version 5 atm.

Mate I can't seem to google/youtube a guide on how to use reason to create the sample sequence. I have loaded the nn-xt 1 thing. But after that I can't see how to add the samples into the sequence bar. What is the wording to find out exactly what I need to do?

Yeah, these medical solutions are so grossly over priced. I am doing some project work for a company that creates tracking and duress solutions at the moment. They charge 1800 for their IP phones in the hospital. It is basically a custom wifi phone...that probably costs them less than 50 dollars...

OK so I got that reason program....It is not straight forward at all... Don't suppose you could upload a template that I could use with it?

Hmm, that is a tough one. They didn't use anybody above 12khz in the study. So there is no way to tell if it works. Also I think people with modulating tones were eliminated from the trial. 16khz is pretty high. The forth tone would be 17.5khz. Could you hear that? Also I would be extremely...

Ok your one from the device is a different structure all together. It seems to be 2 tones mini silence 2 tones mini silence 2 tones mini silence, longer silence repeat. It doesn't even follow the structure of the german study.

They used special headphones that allowed outside sound and wore while at work etc. Wow that sounds sooo much different. I wonder if different companies used different devices or have modified the calculations.

Yeah it is exactly 2/3 according to the study, because it states it should be 3 cycles of tones and 2 cycles of silence. I just had the sample above and mine below and got the timings to be the same. Why do your tones sound more uhh twangy? What frequency was that sample.

I just used the sample I found. Which I copied exactly. What is the speed of the device? Longer tone length, longer gaps between individual tones? If someone has the device, if they could run an audio cable to their computers input (line in) and record their sequence then post it on the site...

Ohh thanks for pointing me in the direction of a good audio application. I will try again with that program tomorrow. Because I am having a lot of trouble getting my tinnitus frequency exact and being able to do that would save a lot of time. What a is a pure hertz tone?

Our member generalfuzz has created a nifty web application that you can use to administer your own Acoustic Coordinated Reset Neuromodulation therapy! Please see this website for more information and the instructions: http://generalfuzz.net/acrn/ Original Post Begins Below: The following is...

I have had tinnitus for over 15 years. Loud environments have never affected it for me. I had my hearing tested recently and it was all within normal range. I would suggest, if it aggravates it, then avoid it. But if not, then don't let it control your life. Your ears are probably exactly the...

Here is the study on which the tone is based. However I can't find the calculation on how far above and below the tinnitus frequency the sine tones need to be. If you can figure it out, you can make your own acoustic reset mp3 and save yourself 5 grand.

If you get mild relief it might be the first signs of RI. The theory behind it, is that eventually the RI will last longer and longer, in addition to lowering the volume. Over the weekend I am going try and track down the study about acoustic reset and see if I can find a more definitive way...

So yours is not a constant tone? What if you made a sequence of sine tones each at like 100ms so it lots of small beeps like chirps?

It is from the acoustic reset thing. I actually spent a couple of hours trying to re-create it. The concept was two tones higher and two lower in some what random sequences. So I wrote down all the orders. Looked at the spectrum to see the variance of the 4 tones (how far above and below the...

Owell, I guess it doesn't help. It is so frustrating trying to find relief. Seems very rarely will the same solution work for two different people.

So in light of me failing a defence force application because I have tinnitus. I got motivated to find a solution to get rid of it. I have had it for around 15 years or so and it is very mild. I can only notice it in absolute silence so it has never really bothered me. Anyway in my search, I...
