It turns out there are a few treatments for tinnitus. Most of these treatments involve sound therapy, where the ultimate goal is to help retrain your brain to tune out the tinnitus. These therapies have been shown to be effective for some percentage of people with tinnitus – probably less than 50%.

The most recent tonal therapy is called Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation, and there’s a dandy scientific paper that describes it. I saw that someone on reddit created a nice program for generating ACRN tones. It occurred to me that there might be a way to implement a simple and useful ACRN web-app using modern javascript libraries. It gave me something to focus on during my times of significant woe.

I put it up @ http://www.generalfuzz.net/acrn/

If you have tinnitus, give it a whirl. It’ll cost you nothing. It may or may not be exactly the same as the $5000 ANM ACRN treatment, but it should give you a good idea what it would be like. I’m always open to suggestions/feedback to improve the project.
