Problems solved by technology

[0009] In order to solve the problem that the noise data used for tinnitus treatment in the prior art has poor user experience, and the unprocessed pure natural sound data is difficult to effectively cover tinnitus in all frequency bands, the present invention provides a tinnitus treatment sound based on natural sound masking. The generation method, which can generate sound data based on natural sound for individuals, and the sound data is more targeted, which can not only effectively cover the tinnitus sound, but also improve the user experience

Embodiment Construction

[0036] The present invention provides a sound generation method for tinnitus treatment based on natural sound masking, which specifically includes the following steps.

[0037] S1: Obtain the center frequency f and loudness s of the patient's tinnitus sound;

[0038] The central frequency f is the midpoint of the auditory experience frequency of the patient's tinnitus sound on the frequency spectrum;

[0039] Loudness s is the volume of the patient's subjective feeling that tinnitus is equivalent to external sound;

[0040] During specific implementation, it is sufficient to obtain the center frequency and loudness of the patient's tinnitus sound by using existing tinnitus detection equipment. Use the sound equipment to give the pure tone signal of center frequency f (Hz) and loudness s (dB), and adjust the above two parameters repeatedly to find the signal that makes the patient feel the closest to the tinnitus, and record the current f and s, the center frequency and loudn...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for generating tinnitus treatment sounds based on natural sound masking, which can generate sound data based on natural sounds for individual tinnitus sounds. The sound data is more targeted, not only more targeted, but also can effectively mask each individual tinnitus, and can improve the user experience. In this patented technical solution, based on the frequency characteristics (center frequency, bandwidth) and loudness of each patient's tinnitus sound, the natural sound is processed to generate tinnitus treatment sound. Based on the frequency characteristics of the patient's tinnitus, the center frequency and bandwidth of the masking sound are obtained to ensure that the tinnitus treatment sound can mask the tinnitus sound within an effective frequency and width range. The masking intensity is obtained based on the tinnitus loudness of the patient to ensure that the intensity of the treatment sound can effectively mask the intensity of the tinnitus sound, and finally the tinnitus treatment sound generated based on the natural sound can effectively mask the tinnitus sound.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sound data production, in particular to a method for generating tinnitus treatment sounds based on natural sound masking. Background technique [0002] Tinnitus refers to a subjective sensation of hearing sounds in the ears or in the head without any external sound source or electrical stimulation, often described as hissing, buzzing or shrill ringing. Tinnitus is a common auditory system disease that seriously endangers people's health and quality of life. [0003] Masking refers to: use a stronger sound to cause a larger vibration of the basilar membrane, so that other sounds with similar frequencies that cause smaller vibrations of the basilar membrane are not easy to detect, and the smaller sound is "covered" or " cover” phenomenon. In the auditory nervous system, masking noise can inhibit the evoked discharge of some neurons at all levels of the center, and can also increase the threshold and decre...
