Auditory and Vestibular Ringing--Detection and theraputic interventions.

多达30%的老年人受到耳鸣的影响。到目前为止，没有一种单一的抑制方式在所有耳鸣患者中都是成功的。本研究将应用听觉、低水平、调制、分形抑制策略，旨在诱导能够抑制/减少耳鸣的“自然”橄榄传出反应。 平衡障碍，例如梅尼埃病和恶心（晕船）是前庭功能障碍/超敏反应的不良结果。本研究将采用低电平，低频率，调制，声压波设计，以诱导？自然？橄榄传出反应和终末器官内淋巴/外淋巴平衡转移。据推测，这些刺激将减少前庭功能障碍/超敏反应的影响。

Tinnitus effects up to 30% of the elderly population. To date no single suppression modality has been successful across all tinnitus sufferers. This study will apply an aural, low level, modulated, fractal suppression strategy designed to induce a "natural" olivary efferent response capable of suppressing/reducing tinnitus. Balance disorders e.g. Meniere's Disease and nausea (seasickness) are unwanted outcomes of vestibular dysfunction/hypersensitivity. This study will apply a low level, low frequency, modulated, acoustic pressure wave designed to induce a ?natural? olivary efferent response and an end organ endolymph/perilymph balance shift. It is postulated these stimuli will reduce the effects of vestibular dysfunction/hypersensitivity.
