Evaluating High-Frequency Nerve Conduction Block For Tinnitus Treatment Using SEF Model
Tinnitus is defined as unwanted auditory perceptionof internal origin, usually localized, and rarely heard by others.Tinnitus is a sensibly experienced ringing sensation in theauditory system, which occurs without the presence of an actualauditory stimulation. Nowadays many researchers focused onfinding a method for treatment of tinnitus. Although they reportmany different treatments, none of them are reported to be thecertain cure of tinnitus. As tinnitus is caused by spontaneousactivity of nerve fibers that sometimes its source cannot bedetected, using means of electric stimulation for blockingauditory nerve fiber can be useful method for preventing tinnitusto be felt by patients. In this paper we focused on this point andtried to illustrate different aspects of that. First of all, we developed a computational model of fiber based on SEF fibermodel. After we studied effects of different parameters such aswave shape, frequency, amplitude, fiber diameter and its distancefrom electrode, on experiment result and finally discussed resultof computer simulation and come to conclusion.
