Description
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.
