Individual Profiling Of Perceived Tinnitus by Developing Tinnitus Analyzer Software
- Date Issued:
- 2010
- Summary:
- Tinnitus is a conscious perception of phantom sounds in the absence of external acoustic stimuli, and masking is one of the popular ways to treat it. Due to the variation in the perceived tinnitus sound from patient to patient, the usefulness of masking therapy cannot be generalized. Thus, it is important to first determine the feasibility of masking therapy on a particular patient, by quantifying the tinnitus sound, and then generate an appropriate masking signal. This paper aims to achieve this kind of individual profiling by developing interactive software - Tinnitus Analyzer, based on clinical approach. The developed software has been proposed to be used in place oftraditional clinical methods and this software (as a part of the future work) will be implemented in the practical scenario involving real tinnitus patients.
