Abstract: Tinnitus is a state in which one hears sounds in the ear or head without any external source. Sound therapy is one of the most effective techniques for tinnitus treatment that have been proposed. In order to investigate mechanisms of tinnitus generation and the clinical effects of sound therapy from neural engineering point of view, we have proposed computational models with plasticity and inhibitory feedback using a neural oscillator or a neuronal network model described by simplified Hodgkin-Huxley equations. In the present paper, the simulation results of the neuronal network model are described. The model is able to replicate the clinical results that human auditory system temporarily halts perception of tinnitus following sound therapy.
