ttx300_window_60.jpgThe Tinnitus Tamer helps Tinnitus sufferers to reduce or eliminate their Tinnitus by using the resources of their own bodies to take care of the Tinnitus in a natural way. Produced by VAVAsoft, Tinnitus Tamer is a tone generator replicating in a very flexible and precise way the tinnitus phenomenon produced by our neuronal ear system.

The striking similarities between the Tinnitus sounds and the sound produced by positive feedback in electronic circuits processing audio signals suggest that Tinnitus sounds are caused by positive feedback between neurons in the auditory neural system in the brain by inappropriate axon connections.

It is known that learning takes place by weakening or strengthening axon connections in the brain, and that axon connections that are not used will eventually wither away.

The Tinnitus Tamer uses sequences of special tones and silent periods to retrain the neural networks in the auditory system of the brain to weaken, and ultimately eliminate, the positive feedback loop that creates the Tinnitus sound.

The Tinnitus Tamer thus uses the resources of your own body to take care of the Tinnitus in a natural way.
