An automated method for treating tinnitus by habituation through use of
neurological feedback, comprising the steps of connecting a subject
through a set of attached headphones to an electronic sound player that
is connected to a PC workstation presenting sound examples by software to
the subject who can refine them by manipulating a series of controllers
on the player, making an electronic recording of the sound in a digital
music format, storing the recording in the computer, transferring a copy
of the electronic sound file to the subject's electronic music player,
generating an EEC signature of the subject's brain activity in response
to the presented sound, sound using the customized sound to stimulate the
auditory system while the brain activity is recorded, wherein the
computer continuously monitors for the feedback signatures and drives the
sound stimuli appropriately.
