Examples of acoustic CR neuromodulation tone sequences from 1000 - 10,000 Hz at 1000 Hz intervals for 10 seconds each. Keep in mind that these tone sequences work best when centered around YOUR specific tinnitus frequency. You can determine your tinnitus frequency here: Tinnitus is felt to be due to an abnormally hyperactive neural network within the auditory cortex of the brain that is firing in a synchronous manner. The goal of acoustic neuromodulation or acoustic coordinated reset neuromodulation (ACRN) involves using the frequency of the tinnitus as the center tone… and then adding some higher and some lower frequency sounds to randomly stimulate around the area of the auditory cortex where the tinnitus frequency is found. Using a complex mathematical algorithm, a personalized sound prescription for a tinnitus sufferer is created. This basically encompasses a series of 4 tones which are transmitted to the nerve cells in the brain of the patient in such a way that the cell's abnormal synchronous activity is disrupted and hyperactivity is reduced. These customized 4 tones are spatially and temporally staggered in such a way that it forces the synchronous nerve cells into different subgroups, each with its own unique rhythm different from the original tinnitus neural rhythm. Short pauses between the tonal stimulation signals remodel the nerve network. If repeated regularly and often enough, these stimulation signals hopefully will reduce the hyperactivity to such an extent that the abnormal neural synchrony will be permanently reversed, thereby resolving the tinnitus.... at least that's what theoretically is supposed to happen. Ideally, the tone sequence should be listened to with headphones for four to six hours a day for 6 or more months, though improvement can be seen in as little as 3 months. 👉 👉 A free, but basic CR neuromodulation tone sequence customized to a specific tinnitus frequency can be found here: There are paid iPhone and Android apps that provide a similar service. • Tonal Tinnitus Therapy (droid): • Tonal Therapy (iPhone): Also, there are commercial products that claim to have created a more sophisticated neuromodulation tone sequence that works better and is embedded in music (expensive). These other products include: • Neuromonics: • Levo Medical: • Desyncra: (possibly gone out of business) There is also bimodal neuromodulation that combines sound with external stimulus that purportedly works better than sound only neuromodulation: • Neosensory Duo: • Lenire: This neuromodulation tone is also free and is more “one-size-fits-all“: What is the most common tinnitus frequencies?
