Abstract Details| - | Technology In Low Resource Countries Tele-medicine left tinnitus-sufferers with few choices but Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). While the former relies virtually exclusively on text-based material the latter makes use of more experimental exercises (mindfulness exercises). We Introduced a novel tinnitus therapy through Tele-medicine based on sound therapy with or without sound amplification delivered through aids. Researchers then designed aids with sound therapy built-in to deliver amplification (hearing rehab), sound therapy (tinnitus), or both combined. Through the Internet one can support tinnitus-sufferer with online audio and video streaming counseling, and also are able to adjust aids to promote relief and comfort synchronously. The novelty relies on adjusting theirs sound generators through the Internet when tinnitus-sufferers are in need. Lab tests proved this system reliable, affordable, at all-times available, with promising results. Clinical tests must be done to verify the proposed feasibility. Aids with sound generator built-in adjusted through the Internet promises to deliver a new therapy no matter where the tinnitus-sufferer dwells or when he demands for help and services.
