Tinnitus is a state in which one hears sounds in the ear or head without any external sound. There are many therapeutic approaches for tinnitus and sound therapy is one of the techniques for its treatment that have been proposed. In order to investigate mechanisms of tinnitus generation and the clinical effects of sound therapy from the viewpoint of neural engineering, we have proposed computational models with plasticity and inhibitory feedback using a neural oscillator or model neurons described by simplified Hodgkin-Huxley equations. In the present paper, the improvement of the neuronal network model is described in the reproduction of the clinical results that human auditory system temporarily halts perception of tinnitus following sound therapy.
