Treatment for Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a very difficult condition to treat since the origins of it have yet to be completely understood or explained. However, there are treatments that will help manage the symptoms.

Tinnitus Maskers

Tinnitus can often be relieved by the use of a tinnitus masker. This device looks similar to a hearing aid and comes in either the Behind-The-Ear or In-The-Ear styles. The device delivers a broad band of noise that surrounds the frequency of the tinnitus. Satisfied users claim that their tinnitus is relieved during use and after the device is removed. It is thought that this occurs due to residual inhibition in the auditory system.

NEUROMONICS
