Are you hearing sounds no one else can hear? We can help.
Tinnitus — the sensation of ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears without any external source — can be frustrating and distressing. At Denoc Hearing, our Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) offers a structured approach to reduce the impact of tinnitus and help you live more comfortably.
What is Tinnitus Retraining Therapy?
TRT is a clinically proven method used to retrain the brain’s response to tinnitus. It doesn’t aim to eliminate the sound itself, but rather to reduce the emotional and psychological reactions associated with it. Over time, many patients report that they no longer notice the tinnitus or are no longer bothered by it.
How TRT Works
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy consists of two core components:
1. Educational Counseling
- One-on-one interactive sessions
- Explains the neurophysiological basis of tinnitus
- Helps the patient understand and reclassify tinnitus as a neutral stimulus
- Reduces fear, anxiety, and emotional distress
2.Sound Therapy
- Involves the use of low-level background sounds or sound generators
- Aims to reduce the contrast between tinnitus and ambient sounds
- Promotes habituation and reduces tinnitus awareness
