I’m not sure I’m sold on the actual efficacy of this, but here’s a description:

One recent development in this area is a therapy called Acoustic Coordinated RESET (CR) Neuromodulation, from the German company ANM. This therapy specifically targets a mechanism of tinnitus which ids thought to involve abnormal levels of synchronous activity in the hearing brain, where large populations of nerve cells repeatedly and spontaneously fire at the same time. The therapy is currently being marketed by the private healthcare sector in Germany and was recently made available in the UK by The Tinnitus Clinic, London.

The CR Neuromodulator delivers a sequence of low-level tones via earphones from a small matchbox-sized device. The tones are selected using a mathematical algorithm, developed by ANM, such that the tones used match the tinnitus pitch and the surrounding range. The set of tones is therefore adjusted individually to each person. In addition, tones are presented in a determined sequence so as to systematically stimulate regions of the hearing brain sensitive to different tones, in a patterned way.

A user of the Tinnitus Talk forum posted a free version of this therapy, available on-line here. It was created by James Kirsh.
