Tinnitus is a condition characterized by a continuous ringing or buzzing sound in the ears.
Sound therapy involves using external sounds to mask or partially suppress the tinnitus noise. White noise machines, hearing aids, or wearable sound generators are common devices used in sound therapy. These tools can help distract the brain from the tinnitus sound and provide relief to some individuals.
Music therapy is an approach in which the herapists use specially designed music or sounds to help patients shift their focus away from the Tinnitus. This form of therapy can enhance mood, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
Protecting your hearing is a key preventive measure against Tinnitus. This includes using ear protection in noisy environments, limiting exposure to loud music or machinery, and managing stress through relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation. Regular check-ups with an audiologist can also help detect and address hearing issues early on.
