“…In the abovementioned treatment methods, sound therapy, such as frequency unmodulated noise generators involving the use of recorded noise, a special tinnitus noiser, or a tinnitus masker device (Jastreboff, 1999; Oishi et al, 2013), has been widely suggested in the treatment of idiopathic tinnitus in many studies (Han, Na, et al, 2019; Han, Yawen, et al, 2019; Jastreboff, 1999; Lv et al, 2020; Oishi et al, 2013). Meanwhile, sound therapy has been listed as an option in clinical practice guidelines (Henry, Schechter, Nagler, & Fausti, 2002; Tunkel et al, 2014) and even as a first line of management for tinnitus patients (together with other hearing aids, information, and advice) (Hoare, EdmondsonâJones, Sereda, Akeroyd, & Hall, 2014; Hobson, Chisholm, & El, 2012; Sereda, Hoare, Nicholson, Smith, & Hall, 2015; Tutaj, Hoare, & Sereda, 2018).…”
