Tinnitus Treatment Options
Depending on the cause of your tinnitus, we may suggest one or more types of treatment. Below, we discuss the three most common forms of tinnitus treatment. One of these may be what we recommend in your scenario, too – or a combination of relief methods could be the most suitable option.
Tinnitus Treatment Options
Sound Therapy
Sound therapy uses sounds to train the brain to refocus. The goal is to take your attention away from your tinnitus symptoms to diminish their emotional impact. This doesn’t take away your tinnitus, but it can help you live a better, less challenging life with the condition.
Tinnitus Treatment Options
Hearing Aids
Many modern hearing aids are now equipped with tinnitus-masking features. These devices can block out the annoying ringing or whooshing sound so you can go about your day without being distracted by it. We often combine hearing aids with other types of treatment to give our patients immediate relief while working towards a more lasting solution.
Tinnitus Treatment Options
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)
We may also recommend TRT, depending on your case. This is also sometimes called habituation therapy. It’s a treatment that involves retraining the brain to perceive tinnitus differently. If tinnitus has been causing additional issues like anxiety or depression, traditional behavioural therapy may also be recommended in tandem to help address these conditions.
During the course of your treatment our team will check in to ensure you are benefitting from our recommendations. We can make adjustments to the treatment plan as needed to help you maintain your quality of life and remain symptom-free!
Tinnitus Treatment Options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Audiologists might partner with mental health experts to offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for tinnitus. This treatment method tackles the emotional and psychological dimensions of tinnitus, assisting individuals in altering unfavorable thought batters and reponses.
