Correspondence To the editor: We read the article by Kim et al. [1] with great interest. Since tinnitus is common among otological patients and serious if untreated , the comparative study on different sounds in relieving tinnitus is relevant. The informatio...

Tinnitus is the perception that one hears phantom sound(s) in the ears or in the head without any external source. Sound therapy is one of the most effective techniques for tinnitus treatment that have been proposed. In order to investigate mechanisms of tinnitus generation and the clinical effects of sound therapy, we have proposed computational and dynamical models with plasticity of excitati...

Vibroacoustic therapy is a new sound technology that uses audible sound vibrations to reduce symptoms, invoke relaxation, and alleviate stress. This technology is developed based on the recognition that external vibration can influence body function. Research demonstrates the effectiveness of vibroacoustic therapy. Implications for nurses include investigating the possibilities of vibroacoustic...

To verify the changes of mesopic and photopic contrast sensitivity function of sound eye whose visual acuity was kept the same after occlusion therapy in the amblyopic children. Fourteen sound eyes of amblyopic children (mean; 7.67 years; S.D., 1.50 years) who kept their visual acuity the same after the occlusion therapy were tested. The children had 6 hours of part-time patch therapy for 3 mon...

Tinnitus is an auditory disorder very difficult to treat. Whereas up until now there not a “cure” for tinnitus, the most extended treatment combines counselling with sound therapy. When this broadband noise in audio frequency band, protocol named tinnitus retraining Even though was proposed at beginning as stimulus therapy, many other sounds have been subsequently and used, including tones, ban...

Tinnitus-the perception of sound in the absence of an actual external sound-represents a symptom of an underlying condition rather than a single disease. Several theories have been proposed to explain the mechanisms underlying tinnitus. Tinnitus generators are theoretically located in the auditory pathway, and such generators and various mechanisms occurring in the peripheral auditory system ha...
