Benefits of Professional Treatment
Managing tinnitus and sound sensitivity requires a personalized approach backed by audiological expertise.
Tinnitus and Sound Sensitivity
When you hear a clicking, swooshing, buzzing or other perception of sound when none is actually present, you are experiencing tinnitus (pronounced “TIN-itus” or “ti-NIGH-tus”). A common temporary condition, tinnitus can become a chronic, debilitating health issue.
Sound sensitivity—a condition that can be associated with tinnitus—causes you to have less tolerance for loud noises, so that you experience distress at lower volumes than other people.
Tinnitus Treatment
To find relief from these symptoms, there are treatment options to reduce the perceived effects of tinnitus and sound sensitivity. They include:
- Methods that improve general wellness
- Hearing aids for tinnitus
- Sound therapy
- Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (member of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy Association)
- Cognitive Behavioral Techniques
- Bidmodal Stimulation Therapy
We now offer bimodal stimulation therapy, an innovative approach that combines auditory and tactile stimulation to help retrain your brain to manage tinnitus. This scientifically-proven method has shown promising results in reducing tinnitus symptoms, especially for those with moderate to severe tinnitus.
Additionally, we provide virtual tinnitus coaching services, allowing you to receive expert guidance and support from the comfort of your home. This remote option ensures that you can access our specialized tinnitus care regardless of your location.
While a tinnitus cure has not yet been found, it is known that noise exposure, medication reactions and hearing loss are associated with the condition.
