Abstract:
Tinnitus is a symptom of perceiving phantom sounds. As one of its treatment techniques, tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) has been proposed. It consists of psychotherapy by counseling and physical therapy based on masking theory by external stimuli. Our interest is to explain medical effects of the physical therapy from the viewpoint of engineering. In this paper we proposed a neural oscillator model with plasticity as a model for the tinnitus generation in the auditory central nervous system and its treatment. We investigated not only oscillatory phenomena observed in the model but also inhibition of the oscillation by external stimulus.
