Does anyone have any experience with Dynamic Tinnitus Mitigation masking therapy?

This masking therapy uses a device that looks like an MP3 player to deliver computer-generated sounds via headphones or two miniature speakers. Overtime, this is supposed to help the sufferer habituate to their particular tinnitus sounds.

Th inventor, Dr, Jerry Halik of the University of Toronto's otolaryngology department, claims that traditional masking devices produce steady wind-like sounds that are too easily distinguishable from typical timmitus, making it hard to mask the offending note. This new device is supposed to produce pleasant sounds at low volume and over a broad spectrum of frequencies that can mask and temporarily suppress about all types of tinnitus.

A company called Audio Bionics in introducing Dynamic Tinnitus Mitigation in North America this year.

Cheers
