Abstract
An auditory stimulation treatment for alleviating tinnitus and hyperacusis by compensating for hearing loss and loss of non-linear compression. Natural auditory signals are delivered correcting for hearing loss and compressive non-linearity, both determined at separate frequency bands for the individual subject. This differs from existing treatment in that synthetic “masking” signals are not delivered, but rather the natural auditory input to the subject is modified. Consequently, the method is more akin to a conventional hearing aid. In contrast to conventional hearing aids, however, perception thresholds are specifically corrected and non-linear compression is matched to the specific hearing deficit of the user.
