Abstract
Methods and systems for treating tinnitus are provided. Some embodiments include a method of providing a primary audio signal having a primary peak portion substantially centered at about a tinnitus frequency of a patient. The method may also include combining the primary audio signal with a general audio signal to generate a combined sound. The method may also include exposing the patient to the combined sound so that the patient hears the combined sound, to diminish a perception by the patient of tinnitus.
