Has anybody used or indeed had any success with the package from Sound Therapy International:

Thomas, I would like to read your thoughts on this technique.

Hi Edmund,
Sound programs in general can certainly be beneficial to some people (as they are relaxing), but whether or not there is something to the special technique here to progressively filter out the low frequencies in the recordings, I would say this package is well over-priced. You could probably buy the music as normal CD's and filter the frequencies out yourself with some suitable computer program for a fraction of the price.

You could try ebay or amazon as well . I have used sound oasis sound therapy. It was expensive but it has helped. I read somewhere that there is a white noise/sound therapy computer program, not sure if it's free or not.
Cheers,

Hi Lexy,
As already mentioned elsewhere in this forum, if you just want background noises, there are two good freeware programs Atmosphere and Aire Freshener (both contain mostly natural sound backgrounds).
You can just run these on your computer, but also cut a CD or MP3 file from it if you want (although for the latter program you would need some additional software to do that).

Sorry Thomas, I knew I'd seen it somewhere but I've been on a few different forums looking for other remedies and therapy suggestions. I couldn't quite remember which forum I saw it on.

Thanks for the reply Thomas.
I am a little sceptical of the claimed benefits for the filtering of low end frequencies in music or sound so to encourage the revitalisation of the tiny cochlear hairs. Would you please comment if you believe there is any credence in this sort of therapy, or is one just as likely to benefit from listening to unfileterd calming/relaxing music or sounds?

Edmund,
I couldn't say whether there is anything to this specific sound therapy program. What I am saying is that this is way overpriced in my opinion. Just filtering out some frequencies from openly available music CDs shouldn't cost that much.
By the way, when listening to music, both high and low frequencies tended to aggravate my tinnitus in the early phase. I therefore reduced both the treble and bass accordingly where possible, or used very cheap head-phones (which are usually quite poor in transmitting high and low frequencies). This sensitivity got less later on, and now I can listen to recordings with a proper frequency range, but I still can note that excessive treble and bass can cause me problems, so I limit the volume in these ranges where possible.
