One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to implementation of a music-based strategy for reducing sound hypersensitivity and phonophobia. The method involves presentation of music modified through amplitude and frequency filtering based on individual audiometric profiles (including information on auditory thresholds and uncomfortable loudness levels), and with insertion of additional sounds designed to trigger and guide neuroplasticity. This modified music is presented over a specific duration (two 30-minute sessions per day, 5 days per week for 4 weeks) for the reduction of sound hypersensitivities. For the purposes of this invention, this music processing method applied over a specific duration (40 half hour sessions) is referred to as Advanced Auditory Processing Training (adAPT).
Method for real-time processing and presentation of audio signals for reducing sound hypersensitivity.
