Hearing a phantom ringing, buzzing, whooshing, or whistling in your ears? You’re not alone.
Tinnitus affects millions of Canadians across the nation, and many don’t realize its effects until it starts to change their day-to-day lives. Tinnitus affects everyone differently, but it can prove dangerous for our health, stress levels, and even our sleep.
For many people dealing with tinnitus, the noise can range from slightly distracting to infuriating; while some don’t notice the effect that their tinnitus has, others cannot sleep or focus at all.
Thankfully, tinnitus has several forms of treatment, including tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT). TRT helps train your brain to ignore the noise of tinnitus, like one would ignore background noise, and focus on noise that’s more beneficial to hear.
What Is Tinnitus Retraining Therapy?
Tinnitus sound treatment, or retraining therapy, combines counselling and sound therapy to train your brain to ignore the phantom sound in your ear.
Counselling with an audiologist will help change how you perceive your tinnitus and turn it from an annoyance to something that you can learn to ignore and move past. This can also include breathwork and meditation techniques to learn how to disregard symptoms of your tinnitus.
Tinnitus noise therapy will feature soothing audio of your choosing that can help redirect your attention from the ringing or buzzing tinnitus sound to the relaxing sound therapy instead. This part is crucial to learning how to redirect your attention from tinnitus.
To get started with TRT at Wavefront Centre, you need a tinnitus assessment first; with a tinnitus assessment, you’ll be able to find out the severity of your tinnitus and whether TRT will be helpful for your specific tinnitus. Otherwise, there are other treatment options, like advanced hearing aid technology.
