Abstract

Described and disclosed herein are various embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to deliver a two-dimensional acoustic coordinated reset neuromodulation therapy to a patient's auditory cortex. A novel auditory stimulation regime is employed, where suitably configured therapeutic signals that take into account the patient's tinnitus frequency and periodicity are employed to excite areas surrounding the center of tinnitus excitation in the patient's auditory cortex.
