🔊 TINNITUS & FILTERED SOUND TRAINING

Soothe the Ringing. Rebalance the System. Reclaim Your Focus.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound—ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking—in the ears or head, with no external source. For some, it’s a mild background sound. For others, it’s constant, intrusive, and exhausting.

Tinnitus often develops after:

  • Loud noise exposure (concerts, machinery, explosions)

  • Hearing loss or ear damage

  • Head trauma or neurological conditions

  • Chronic stress or nervous system dysregulation

Many people report difficulty sleeping, focusing, or relaxing. Some experience sound sensitivity (hyperacusis) alongside tinnitus, making daily life even more overwhelming.

🎧 How Filtered Sound Training Helps

Filtered Sound Training (FST), rooted in the Berard Auditory Integration Training (AIT) method, works by retraining how the brain processes sound. Carefully filtered music stimulates the auditory system in a gentle, patterned way—helping the brain reduce its over-focus on the internal sounds of tinnitus.

💡 Benefits of FST for Tinnitus:

  • ✅ Reduces sensitivity to internal and external sound

  • ✅ Calms the auditory system and improves focus

  • ✅ Decreases the perceived intensity of tinnitus

  • ✅ Helps the brain "tune out" ringing and buzzing

  • ✅ Supports emotional regulation and nervous system balance

🧠 How FST May Help With Tinnitus

1. Auditory System Rebalancing

FST “normalizes” hearing by retraining the brain’s sound-processing patterns.
If tinnitus is linked to hyperactive neural signals, filtered music may help reduce that internal overactivity.

2. Reduced Hyperacusis (Sound Sensitivity)

Many people with tinnitus also struggle with hyperacusis—where normal sounds feel painfully loud.
FST helps desensitize the auditory system, improving tolerance to both internal and external sounds.

3. Improved Tolerance & Coping

Even if tinnitus isn’t eliminated, many clients experience less stress, more focus, and better sleep.
FST can make tinnitus feel less intrusive, allowing you to shift your attention elsewhere.

📚 Scientific Research & Case Studies

🔹 From Berard AIT Resources:

Many FST providers report that clients experience reduced tinnitus intensity and improved quality of life after completing the 10-day protocol.
Some adults describe the tinnitus sound as becoming fainter, less frequent, or easier to ignore.

🔹 Clinical Background:

Dr. Guy Bérard (creator of AIT) first used his method on himself to address tinnitus after hearing loss.
Studies on auditory retraining therapies show that neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change—plays a key role in reducing tinnitus symptoms.

🎸 Why It’s Especially Relevant for Musicians

Musicians and audio professionals are especially prone to tinnitus due to:

  • Repeated exposure to amplified sound

  • Fine-tuned ears that notice every nuance

  • Stress on the auditory system from long hours of listening

FST can help musicians:

  • Recalibrate and protect the ear-brain connection

  • Reduce reactivity to internal sounds

  • Improve auditory balance without dulling their perception
