Music therapy 'may help cut tinnitus noise levels' (BBC)

Individually designed music therapy may help reduce the noise levels experienced by people who suffer from tinnitus, say German researchers.

They altered participants' favourite music to remove notes which matched the frequency of the ringing in their ears.

After a year of listening to the modified music, individuals reported a drop in the loudness of their tinnitus.

The researchers said the "inexpensive" treatment could be used alongside other techniques to relieve the condition.

1. I would love to be able to hear better again.

I am not deaf, but I am hard of hearing. I miss my enjoyment of music the most though.

2. Tinnitus

I've listened to it for over 10 years. I've learned to ignore most of the time. Otherwise, my hearing is fine. I see no reason to over react to what for me is a fact of life.
