Basic Consepts for Subjective Tinnitus

The cause of subjective tinnitus is still unknown, perhaps one of them is estimated to be the movement of the outer hair cells themselves. This movement occurs due to many factors such as metabolic disorders, stress and others. One of the motor proteins in the outer hair cell that functions for movement so that sound stimuli can be received in the central nervous system is Prestin If this motor protein moves on its own without external stimulation, tinnitus can occur.Can be seen in the picture below.

Basic Consepts for Interference and Beats

Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium. For subjective tinnitus therapy we use destructive interference. They interfere destructively , the high pressure areas meet up with the low pressure areas and they cancel each other out, which cancels out the sound. Can be seen in the picture below

Basic Consepts for Acoustic Music

Acoustic music waves can also stimulate the movement of outer hair cells so that damaged outer hair cells regenerate. In addition, acoustic music can also help relax and stimulate neurons in the brain.
