“…It has been recommended that music used for tinnitus management should evoke positive feelings, should be void of vocals, should not contain pronounced bass beats, should be pleasant, but not too interesting or compelling (though for short-term relief attention capturing music can be beneficial), should induce relaxation while reducing tinnitus audibility (best for long-term relief), and should be played at low levels where music blends with tinnitus. [34,35] Other suggestions indicate that if music is to be relaxing, it should have a tempo near or below resting heart rate (60-72 beats/ min); have a fluid melodic movement, contain a variety of pitches, be self-selected, not have rapid amplitude changes, [36] and contain an element of uncertainty. [37] In addition, the fact that sounds (including music) affects people in different ways, due to inherent, learned (and cultural) preferences, should be taken into consideration.…”
