WHAT IS NOTCHED SOUND TINNITUS THERAPY?
Notched white noise sound therapy has been proven to be one of the most successful methods of reducing the symptoms and effects of Tinnitus.
The concept is a rather new one, and has proven very effective for many. In short, you listen to white noise that has been specially prepared with your Tinnitus frequency removed. So, in essence you are ignoring your Tinnitus frequency and playing every other frequency around it at the same time. This helps reduce the false priority your brain has given to your Tinnitus frequency and after prolonged use over time... reduces the loudness of your Tinnitus frequency / tone / noise.
There are many Tinnitus therapy systems that require hardware, cost hundreds to thousands of dollars to purchase and are sadly usually not covered by health insurance providers that do the same thing. This skill was created to make this possibly revolutionary form of Tinnitus therapy available to everyone!
HOW TO USE NOTCHED NOISE THERAPY?
The medical professionals who developed this Tinnitus reducing method suggest no less than 15 minutes of white noise notched frequency sound therapy everyday. I say why not use it as much as possible! This skill allows you to do just that, you can even use it to relax and fall asleep easier. Notched noise therapy can be listened to with / or without headphones. Try to set the volume just slightly louder than your Tinnitus.
Medical documentation also states that the frequency should be notched out starting one 1/2 octave from the desired notched frequency and completing one 1/2 octave after the desired notched frequency (totaling to 1 full octave). This is exactly how the audio for this skill has been processed.
Obviously, using this therapy requires that you know what frequency your Tinnitus rings at. If you don't already know your Tinnitus frequency, try using this http://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ link and fine tune the slider until you have an almost perfect match. Try not to be frustrated when matching the tone, this takes time and is not easy. THE BEST WAY to do so is ALWAYS by visiting a qualified audiologist and having them help you find your specific Tinnitus frequency.
You can open your specific Tinnitus Therapy sound by saying "Alexa, tell Tinnitus Therapy to play (say your Tinnitus frequency here)."
Examples:
"Alexa, tell Tinnitus Therapy to play eleven K."
"Alexa, tell Tinnitus Therapy to play eight hundred fifty hertz."
"Alexa, tell Tinnitus Therapy to play fifteen point five kilohertz."
