5—repeating steps 3-4 until an approximate match is found such that no further adjustments in tone produce a perceived improved match (“personalized tinnitus tone”)

6—saving the personalized tinnitus tone information including wavelength, frequency and amplitude, in a computer memory

7—generating by means of computer software, a plurality of sine clusters, wherein a sine cluster comprises at least three sine waves of similar amplitude but varying frequency, each sine wave separated by between 10 degrees and 90 degrees, and wherein at least one of the tones is the personalized tinnitus tone
8—providing to the subject a tone comprising at least one sine cluster, at least twice per day for at least 10 contiguous minutes, thereby effecting a reduction in tinnitus symptoms.

In another embodiment, in step 7 the generated sine cluster comprises a plurality of triplets. The anchor triplet comprises 3 waves in which one is the personalized tinnitus tone and the other two are n % greater and lower in frequency than the personalized tinnitus tone. The other triplets are displaced from the anchor triplet by 1 octave.

In another embodiment, in step 8 the subject is provided with a tone comprising at least one sine cluster, at least once per day for an hour, starting at bed-time and extending into the sleep cycle of the subject.

In another embodiment, in step 1 the subject is provided with a tone of exactly 9397.272573 hz.
