How is tinnitus commonly treated?
When medical attention isnt able to eliminate tinnitus, alternative treatments may help manage it: Hearing aids are particularly successful when hearing loss is in the same frequency range as the tinnitus. Tinnitus Maskers resemble hearing aids and produce a band of noise to cover up the tinnitus. Biological feedback teaches a relaxation process to control the response to stress and how it influences your tinnitus. Cognitive/behavioral therapy alters negative thoughts about tinnitus rather than treating the tinnitus itself. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy helps you become less aware of the sounds of their tinnitus through counseling and the use of in-the-ear sound generators. Drugs can be prescribed when the underlying cause is attributable to anxiety, depression or sleep deprivation.
