Problems solved by technology

For example, the post-inhibitory effect produced by masking therapy can only last for a few seconds to tens of minutes, and it is still difficult to obtain a lasting inhibitory effect after repeated treatments. Moreover, many studies have shown that long-term masking therapy can improve the symptoms and psychological status of tinnitus patients no obvious advantage

Embodiment Construction

[0026] The tinnitus treatment system based on pure tone stimulation of the present invention achieves the effect of treating tinnitus through pure tone stimulation combined with vagus nerve stimulation. In the setting of pure tone stimulation, the pure tone frequency within the octave range with the tinnitus frequency as the center frequency is excluded, and a pure tone matches a vagus nerve. Stimulation pulses, two stimuli are carried out simultaneously, the tinnitus treatment system of the present invention combines pure tone and vagus nerve stimulation, can induce favorable neuroplastic changes in the central cortex, and achieve reversal of tinnitus perception and pathological central plastic changes. Different from traditional treatment methods, this method is a personalized sound treatment method designed for the mechanism of tinnitus. The treatment effect of tinnitus is good, and the treatment process is simple and convenient. see figure 1 , which is a structural schemat...

Abstract

The invention relates to a pure tone-based tinnitus treatment system comprising a control module, an audio playing module, a micro-current generation module, a pure-tone voice frequency and an earphone. The control module controls the audio play module to play pure-tone audios in a random way and eliminates pure-tone frequency in an octave with tinnitus frequency as central frequency; the earphone is provided with conductive electrodes; the micro-current generation module is connected with the conductive electrodes; when the pure-tone audio is played, a micro-current pulse signal is produced, so a nervivagus passing through the surrounding of an auditory meatus can be excited. Compared with the prior art, with pure-tone excitation and nervivagus excitation, a central pivot cortex can be inducted in an orientated way to produce favorable neuroplasticity changes; and tinnitus perception changeover and pathological central pivot plasticity changes can be achieved. Different from a traditional treatment method, a personalized sound treatment method is designed for a tinnitus occurrence mechanism; and great tinnitus treatment effect can be achieved; and the treatment process is simple and convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hearing therapy, and in particular relates to a tinnitus treatment system and a treatment instrument stimulated by pure tones. Background technique [0002] Subjective tinnitus is a perception of sound in the absence of external sound or electrical stimulation. Tinnitus is a common symptom, and many systemic and ear diseases can cause tinnitus. It seriously affects the health of the people and causes various social problems. According to epidemiological statistics, about 35% of adults have experienced tinnitus, and about 3-7% of them have sought medical treatment because of tinnitus, of which 0.5-2.5 % of people complain that tinnitus has a serious impact on their lives, making it difficult to concentrate, communicate normally, work and sleep, and even so severe that they have suicidal tendencies. At the same time, people of different ages will experience tinnitus, and the incidence of tinnitus gradually increase...
