While the treatment Dalton performs at WT provides no long-term fix for tinnitus, he said he thinks that giving patients daily access to a device at home would let them train their brains into ignoring the condition.

Huh? I can't remember a time when I didn't have an annoying ringing in my ears; I've never known silence. Currently tinnitus sufferers can learn to ignore it -- it's about all we have. While a new way to help ignore it is certainly welcome, I've found temporary relief tends to be more frustrating than helpful. When the temporary relief ends, the sound seems even louder and more intrusive. It's a lot like giving a starving person a piece of chocolate.

This treatment may be effective for recently begun cases of tinnitus.
For us that have had it for decades, we already have learned to ignore it.........
