Residual inhibition is a well-known and researched phenomenon. It is used to describe a procedure whereby a person with tinnitus is exposed to a sound very similar to their tinnitus in a very controlled manner. For very few people, this procedure may reduce the sounds that they hear. But the relief is only temporary.That is, the procedure has to be repeated once the person’s tinnitus comes back. So it is not a cure. Certainly more research is needed before a specialist can commit to offering this to everyone with tinnitus.
