Description
The Rain Shower Sound
Fountaintm was specifically designed to produce a wide spectrum
sound field for providing tinnitus relief and for use as an aid to relaxation
and meditation practice. While designed primarily for its auditory effects, the
fountain also reads as an elegantly realized dynamic water sculpture.
The Rain Shower Fountain in Cobalt
combines a reservoir of translucent cobalt blue art glass with a patent pending
bubble chamber. The chamber mixes an evolving stream of air and water to add
complexity to the generated sound. Polypropylene balls and an adjustable flow
pump allow the characteristics of the sound generated by the fountain to be
modified. The cobalt reservoir rests on a vibration insulating base of matte
black finished wood and damping foam with adjustable leveling feet. The sound
varies subtly over time as the ratio of bubbles in the chamber to exiting water
streams change.
The Rain Shower Sound Fountain in Cobalt
is one of several fountains specifically developed by us for helping tinnitus
sufferers cope with "ringing in the ears." Having a sound spectrum encompassing
the range of impairment of many persons with tinnitus, the fountains can aid in
tinnitus habituation, residual inhibition, and masking, and can be used as an
adjunct to tinnitus retraining therapy and other treatment schemes.
