Tinnitus Retraining Therapy
Home » Tinnitus Retraining Therapy
Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) is a management approach for individuals experiencing persistent tinnitus, a perception of ringing or buzzing in the ears. TRT combines sound therapy and counseling to help patients habituate to the sound and reduce its impact on daily life. Sound therapy involves using low-level, neutral sounds to mask the tinnitus and desensitize the auditory system. Counseling focuses on changing emotional reactions and negative associations with tinnitus. By gradually reducing awareness and distress associated with tinnitus, TRT aims to improve quality of life and restore normalcy to auditory perception.
