Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation: Do It Yourself Guide

[Steve]

thanks, but I got that. I just need to know how to download it on either my phone or Ipod.

Hi. You need a sound recorder that will let you record your computer output. If you Google it you can do it using Audacity, here's one tutorial http://www.howtogeek.com/217348/how-to-record-the-sound-coming-from-your-pc-even-without-stereo-mix/

I'm on mac, the last tool I had to record sound from the computer directly doesn't work anymore unfortunately.

I got a question regarding this,

I've seen the TinnitusClinic in London advertise this, Acoustic CR Neuromodulation treatment, its £4,500.

Obviously they know what they are doing.

Whats the difference between my doing it myself, and them doing it for me + alot of cash.

Are there risks to this if done wrong?

To my understanding Acoustic CR is like re-calibrating the brain, first matching the noise you hear in your head, and then by exposing the brain to this noise 2-4 hours a day its meant to reduce the Tinnitus or something.

I stated before in another post that Binural beats made mine worse (i think anyway), and this im guessing is similar if not the same thing only more personalised.

im rambling on now, bottom line, how safe is this? / If done wrong can it make it worse?

Seems kind of expensive. Did you check out Neuromonics or TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy)?

 

[The Red Viper]

Any time a service offers testimonials as proof I would be extremely skeptical. Also, the "trial" they did used patients that paid for the treatment, as such they themselves admitted that it could be a possible placebo effect. I'm afraid that until our subjective tinnitus becomes objectively measureable, there won't be any cure for us.

Hi, this may have already been answered but my T (the worst tone) is around 8khz in my left ear but I am also nearly completely deaf in that frequency as well, that is what caused the T.

Would listening to tones I can't actually hear help?

I played the 8khz at the start of this thread and I can't hear it at all in my left ear. I can hear it in my right but I only have a small amount of hearing loss in that ear.

Thanks.

Hi,
I tried your page here http://generalfuzz.net/acrn/
I have to say i got trapped when i tried "Play ARCN" The volume was very low. Then i did "Play single frequency" and THEN the sound got very loud. Damn, you could warn about this! I was surprised by that.

I just found this forum. Has the sound file for 9,000 hz been already posted here? If so, could you tell me where? If not, could you please post it here? Thank you very much.

You can create your own sound here

http://www.generalfuzz.net/acrn/

Record it to your computer using guide here

http://www.howtogeek.com/217348/how-to-record-the-sound-coming-from-your-pc-even-without-stereo-mix/

@generalfuzz you should create EXPORT function so people can download the generated sound as audio to their machines!

 

[hidek]

OK. Thanks for the link. I will try to make one. Best,

 

[Ecip]

I can make a wav file with your frequency, if you wish. It would be 15 mins long (just play it on repeat) and about 300MB or so.. let me know.

 

[hidek]

Ecip, That would be awesome if you could do it. Thank you very much.

 

[hidek]

I read that we need to listen to this sound file for 4 to 6 hours per day for the first 12 weeks. Can I do when I sleep?

Yes. Think you can sleep with that though?

 

[OddV]

Has this worked for anyone?

 

[hidek]

My T frequency is frequently changing. Is this common?

 

[Ecip]

Yea, I think mine does.. Not too sure though..

 

[undecided]

I would really like to know that as well.
As far as I understand, this is masking and residual inhibition but what about the long term?

 

[GregCA]

I would really like to know that as well.

Check out trial results.

 

[undecided]

Check out trial results.

Kinda hard to tell the actual outcome, the way the results are structured.
It seems that there was a slight improvement on the subjective stuff (the tinnitus questionnaires).
Not much improvement on the objective test (the EEG).
And without a placebo group... Whatever.

Thanks for the link.

Yes I agree the study's results aren't particularly easy to decipher. I think they used "regular masking" as their control group (rather than placebo), to figure out whether ACRN was any better than pure masking. It doesn't seem like a slam dunk.

Anyone here selling an Acoustic Neuromodulation cd? Where can I get this on disc?

This is my first post. I have been lurking for three months. I spent a lot of time in the Success Stories forum and have tried some of the things people had success with. I have been to an ENT, an audiologist, had a CT scan and consulted with a surgeon. I have been to an osteopath. I have had several sessions with a chiropractor and several sessions of acupuncture. I have been taking CBD oil, Coenzymated B-1, Ginko Biloba, Lipo Flavinoid, N-A-C, Zinc and Kudzu Root. I do not believe any of the above mentioned doctor visits or supplements had any effect on my tinnitus. I will continue with the chiropractor, acupuncture, osteopath and supplements, just in case. I have an appointment with Landmark Hearing Services in Sunnyvale Ca next week. I believe they vendor services similar to what General Fuzz has created. Out of desperation I am addressing the tinnitus with all of what is left of my brain capacity.

I am not sure if I am doing it right, but ACRN is WORKING FOR ME. I don't know if it will hold and actually be a cure, but for short term relief ACRN is fantastic. First I went to http://generalfuzz.net/acrn/ and tried to match my tinnitus frequency. Then I hit the PLAY ACRN button and listened. It knocked my tinnitus way down. Before I found this thread and the general fuzz site I thought the T would shake my teeth loose. It never stopped and it was loud. I could hear it over almost anything. In the shower, on the freeway in a convertible, while brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush, it was always there.

With my wife's help and using the Audacity program mentioned previously in this thread we recorded an hour of sound for my frequency from the general fuzz site. With more help from my wife we copied the file thru Itunes onto my Iphone. I only have T on my right side. I have more hearing loss on that side and that is the side I crashed on to. I have only been at this a few days. At this point I keep the ear piece in the right side almost all the time. I can't sleep with the ACRN going, so when sleeping I use the Sound Oasis sound machine. My T is worse now first thing in morning, because I have been without the ACRN all night. I plug in first thing and it quiets down right away. I only play it on the right side and just loud enough to hear.

I am very grateful to jibs for the thread and for this site. General Fuzz, if we ever meet face to face, I am going to kiss you.

You tube has notched frequencies at various frequencies. What is the opinion of these files and audio clips?

 

[RODRIGO]

¡Buenos días!
Es fácil de copiar los sonidos de la terapia. un programa, a fin de tratar como SoundTap grabó los sonidos de la web y mantenerlos en formato wav. Y eso es. Luego se puede reproducir en quieran.Es muy fácil de instalar y no hay necesidad de configurar. Espero que tenga ninguna dificultad en hacerlo.

 

[RODRIGO]

And if someone is not able to do the same, and you need a recording of one hour at a certain frequency, to tell me and I will send.

regards

 

[ruben ruiz]

Thank you. 18 hz.

 

[RODRIGO]

Im sorry, but it´s not possible for more tan 15000 hz…

@RB in Santa Cruz General Fuzz has just written an article on The Mighty... which is brilliant as it helps spread awareness.
