Our fountains are called sound fountains^tm because they are specifically designed for their sound characteristics. Their primary function is to help provide tinnitus relief. Our fountains can be used to help tinitus sufferers habituate to tinnitus, and to facilitate residual inhibition of tinnitus sounds. We also designed our Sound Fountains to be artful complements to the home of office environment. Our sound fountains are unobtrusive, and are scaled for desk, coffee table, kitchen counter or bedroom night stand. Being fountains, they do not bring attention to your tinnitus, as is the case with in-ear sound generators. As added benefits, persons without tinnitus find the fountains pleasing to listen to and an aid to relaxation and meditation.The fountains also help mask obtrusive environmental noises and make a great solution to working in a noisy office environment.

We developed our sound fountain technology in response to a growing need to address the problem of tinnitus from a natural and easy to implement perspective. There is a growing incidence of persons suffering from tinnitus. This increase is most probably a consequence of growing segments of the population listening to MP3 players and iPODs at high volume, an aging population, and service and non-service personnel being exposed to high levels of noise in war theatres such as in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Many people with low levels of tinnitus are not bothered by it and are not even aware that they have tinnitus unless it is brought to their attention by (paradoxically) silence. Others find the effects of tinnitus to vary between mild distraction and severe debilitation. Since the auditory pathways are common to those in the pre-frontal cortex and parts of the limbic system, many of those persons who respond negatively to tinnitus sounds are emotionally affected by their tinnitus to the extent that it affects their lives on a daily basis.

While there is no cure for tinnitus, our Sound Fountains can help the tinnitus sufferer is the following ways:

• The fountains generate a wide sound spectrum that encompasses the dominant frequencies of most persons' perceived tinnitus
• The fountains provide a natural sound background so that the tinnitus sufferer does not experience silence (which exacerbates the perception of tinnitus)
• The fountains can help sufferers develop residual inhibition of tinnitus
• The fountains can help persons habituate to their tinnitus
• The fountains can be used in conjunction with drug therapies and treatment therapies such as tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT)
