Implementation and evaluation of a mobile iOS application for auditory stimulation of chronic tinnitus patients

Mobile devices take in more and more space in our lifes and as tinnitus becomes a much more widespread disease, science started to develop treatment strategies. One of those treatment strategies is ’auditory training’ and with this strategy in mind a game concept with spatial audio was developed to provide an easily available ambulant help for chronic tinnitus patients. In the course of this thesis a seperate game only using spatial audio is developed on mobile iOS devices and in a study it is evaluated how good spatial audio can work on different mobile platforms. At the end of thesis the work is summarized and improvements in the game are displayed for further use in the above mentioned game scenario.
