I have discussed already a couple of years ago Sound and Music Therapies. A lot of things have happened in the meanwhile in this field, so I thought I should to give an update here.
Whilst one can not say that any breakthrough has been achieved here as yet, many more services have become available that offer sound and music therapies in various forms. The most sophisticated is the already earlier mentioned 'notched music' therapy, which is based on eliminating a certain bandwidth around the tinnitus frequency from music or other sound recording. Some research claims that frequent listening to such prepared sound would be beneficial for tinnitus sufferers. Some of these services offered on websites cost a few hundred pounds per year, but there are also some less costly ones. For instance Audionotch offers schemes from 2-12 months costing between $40-$100 (with a 30 day money back guarantee in case you are not happy with the result). An even cheaper alternative is the iPhone app Tinnitus Pro which does pretty much the same thing but costs only $10.
If you are just after masking the tinnitus sound, there are a lot of other free and paid apps that may be beneficial. See iPhone Apps 1, iPhone Apps 2, Android Apps for some of the programs available.
I have not myself tested any of these services and programs, so I don't know how good they are, let alone whether they are capable of reducing the tinnitus, but with the result of practically all tinnitus measures depending very much on the individual case, it may certainly be worth a try for some people.
