Ha. Found a free golden-oldie 2 channel plain function generator on the app store and set it to the same masking settings as the hospital Audiologist did in the session I mentioned above.

App: keuwlsoft Dual Channel Function Generator

This works the same magic, and is better than the tinnitus apps listed in the hospital handout I was given and tried. The volume I have to use though means it's too loud for others comfort. Now, if I can find those darn headphones, and if they can plug into the phone...
 
Had a dream that I bought a crash damaged Golf R and a Golf 2.0TDI SE which had a blown engine and used the SE panels to repair the R and tuned it up so I had a supercar beating car that looked like a stock dagdag Golf.

I lead an exciting life. :p

Thats just an engine, and I can't just stuff it in a MK4 Golf. :p

I need a whole Golf R. Engine, AWD system, brakes, etc. The whole idea is that it would be easy to swap some panels around :p

Haha duh... gotta start somewhere :D

Can I ask what settings?
I have also downloaded it, as a fellow tinnitus sufferer.

Acme, I've got pulsatile tinnitus - so it's like a wavy rope (aka sine wave) with a wave peak, and a wave trough.

So I'm using a 'band' = a high Hz setting to cover the wave peak (8 KHz) frequency in the right earpiece side using Channel 2, and a lower (4 Hz) frequency in the left earpiece side using Channel 1.

The exact settings I'm using are:

Ch 1 __________________
WAVEFORM
- sine, the smooth one
FREQ =4.000 Hz
AMPL = 50.000 percent
BIAS = 0.000 percent

NOISE WHITE
AMPL = 50.000 percent

Ch 2 ___________________
WAVEFORM
- sine (smooth button)
FREQ = 8 KHz
AMPL = 50.000 percent
BIAS = 0.000 percent

NOISE WHITE
AMPL = 50.000 percent

BURST REPEAT
N=1
FREQ = 3.1 Hz

_______

Master volume = 25 percent

Edit. Nb.I only have tinnitus in one ear - the right hand side /right ear side. But as I need to cover the band spread of frequencies the wavy sound of my tinnitus makes, I put a different lower channel in left ear.

If I could get 2 channel frequencies going into just my right ear, I'd be just as / more happy perhaps. But, it works ok atm with just a different frequency in each ear: ie. 1 ear = 1 channel, 1 FREQ.

Do your headphones produce sufficient range?

Not sure. There is a bit of dropout or clipping of something from the earplug type I am using atm compared to the ear-muff / full ear-surround type I was using in the Audiologist.

I do have a good pair of the ear-muff type, if only I could find them.
 
Google their specs and you'll be able to find out if they're actually producing the frequency range you need them too.


My tinnitus is only really a distraction at night time, that's where ganja helps haha

I recall watching something a long time back where the frequency emitter reversed the sound wave and applied behind the ear, not via the canal. Looked promising but that was many years ago.

The behind the ear vibrator / bone sound conduction thing was checked by the Audiologist as part of finding the correct frequencies, or checking which part of my hearing range was affected. Is that what you mean?

The config RxR shared was for 4k and 8k so everything that isn't a landline phone should be able to recreate that. Not sure what the 3.1Hz burst repeat is but I'm assuming that's a frequency of repetition rather than an audio frequency wave.
 
Dug out my old electric guitar, haven't played it for a good 6 years.

Removed the strings, took it apart fully, polished up the hardware, sanded and re treated the neck, cleaned up the frets, polished the body.

Ordered some bits for it. Alnico 5 single coil pickups, black 3ply pick guard, black pickup covers, custom knobs, new headstock transfer, 500k pots etc.

It's a 1998 Squier Strat that I've had from new.

Pics!

Am a guitar tech, or at least I was for years :)

Here's what I've been working on over Easter and hopefully tomorrow - 18W Marshall style guitar amp:

Awesome! :) Your level of expertise is 1000x beyond mine haha. Looks like a fun project.

I'll take some pics when it is done, it is in bits and the parts are on order at the moment. I am considering cancelling and converting it to dual-humbucker instead though...
