That's just it - it could be harmful listening to those artificially generated tones and sweeps, as I linked to the relevant thread a few posts back, and it's especially concerning listening through headphones which some have advised you absolutely should not do.Hey, at this point, I'm willing to try just about anything. What harm could it do? I downloaded the file. Kinda reminds me of the Industrial music I used to listen to at high volume in my younger years. Probably what gave me tinnitus in the first place!
You can play on speakers but it takes longer to see results, about 4-6 weeks instead of 3 weeks.
What you posted says it is circumstantial evidence. In fact, Tinnitus Mix helps hearing because most people do not get exposed to high frequencies, just speech (low frequencies), which causes the sections of the brain that processes high frequencies to shut down.
Throbbing Gristle is easy listening compared to Tinnitus Mix. I'll never again listen to it through headphones while I'm try sleep, but I'm certainly going to keep it in my collection. Desperation makes us humans do silly things.Hey, at this point, I'm willing to try just about anything. What harm could it do? I downloaded the file.

Facts are few when someone stops posting after a long stretch of posting how their life had become undone by tinnitus and life is no longer worth living.
Female voice harmonics reach 17 kHz, so that's very high frequency for sound. And there are many other sounds with high frequencies, including commonly in music. From what I've read, it's overexposure to loud sounds at those frequencies that is the issue, not underexposure. So be careful with those loud tone exposures. They have spiked my tinnitus before as mentioned in the thread I linked to a few posts back.
As someone else and myself have already mentioned earlier in the thread, there are some haunting sounds like from a horror movie in the Tinnitus Mix, so it could be unsettling trying to sleep listening to that.
You are a little off on frequencies of human voice. Human voice is very low frequency and does not give the ears enough high frequencies. If you don't use the high frequency section of the brain, it shuts down and you will acquire hearing loss, which is associated with one of the causes of tinnitus!
Depends what you look at and if you're referring to a base vs. harmonics. I have a hard time believing that lack of use causes hearing loss. Maybe sensitivity. My perhaps incorrect understanding is that hearing loss begins in higher frequencies as damage to the cochlea occurs on the outer ring or part where higher frequency hearing occurs. Who knows, this disorder seems so random.
We don't just hear fundamental frequencies, we also hear harmonics. In the case of the human voice, the harmonics make for an important amount of information, see here.
Yeah... no. He is right about female voices, because he said their HARMONICS, which means the higher frequencies that are multiples above the fundamental tone, which of course is at the low frequency range 100-300 Hz or something and that's the main pitch.
Yeah, nice guy and very bright. I hope he's still walking the earth. From what I remember his severe tinnitus was caused by someone rear ending his vehicle while they were texting.
Make sure you follow the instructions and use the Koss KTX-PRO1 headphones.
No, it will make it worse.
Your claims that your system is more advanced than Dr. Shore's tinnitus device are laughable! This is a completely absurd and "God Complex" type of thinking.
There is a warning in the first post.
I used this "treatment" on low volume for well over a year, and it did indeed make my (already severe) tinnitus worse!
What else did you do in the last year, though? Did you stay at home in silence, eat soft, non-crunchy foods, listen to this file only, rinse and repeat for 365 days, and so on? I'm not saying this guy's audio file is worth squat, but there are too many causative factors at play here for you to blame any one thing, man.
No, I'm not blaming my tinnitus on this one thing. I've had it for 34 years! Look at my profile. I'm saying that I believe (strongly) that his "treatment" took my already severe tinnitus and made it worse than it was before.
Yeah, I played Tinnitus Mix for a quick brief moment myself not too long ago as well and had to turn it off immediately. Sounded way too diabolical for me. Big pass.
Yeah, listening to something that sounds so nonsensical is not my forte, especially now. To each their own I guess.
