Thanks for the reply -

Here's a ref to TRT treatment for tinnitus that utilizes the white noise
masking : http://www.epleyclinic.com/trt.htm

I have located several references to generating white or pink noise with
DSP, so it looks do-able, though this will obviously be a huge amount of
learning ahead for me. My guess is that I just create the white noise and
then setup my two or three bandpass filters to let through what I need to
mask the tinnitus frequencies.

Any suggestions to DSP kits / software that come with some of the code
libraries I will need to start learning how to do the compression, limiting,
eq and white noise generation? I have just spent the afternoon hours
reading everything I can find on the TI dspvillage.com site.
