Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

Tinnitus retraining therapy is just one of the many methods available to relieve the effects of tinnitus. The aim of tinnitus retraining therapy is for tinnitus to cease impeding upon the sufferer's lifestyle. That being said, it should not be viewed as a coping strategy or a means of "learning to live" with tinnitus. Tinnitus sufferers need not live or cope with the condition as modern alternative therapies are available. Tinnitus retraining therapy was conceived in the 80's by Pawel J. Jastreboff in conjunction with Jonathan W. P. Hazell.

Tinnitus retraining therapy uses low level, broadband noise, in addition to counseling, to reach a point of habituation of (or allow the suffer to become accustomed to) tinnitus. Tinnitus retraining therapy allows the suffer to lose awareness of the condition unless they are instructed to directly focus upon it. Even in such an instance, tinnitus retraining therapy makes the annoyance of the condition obsolete.

Tinnitus retraining therapy does not work for everybody although many people have experienced their own success stories from the treatment. Tinnitus retraining therapy lasts for roughly 12 to 24 months. Sound generators usually cost approximately USD2,200 so the cost can become rather prohibitive. Tinnitus retraining therapy is not generally covered by insurance so the financial outlay should be compared against other possible alternatives.

Many people have opted against tinnitus retraining therapy and have instead chosen to pursue a more holistic approach. Thomas Coleman, nutritionist and former tinnitus sufferer, can show you a clinically proven, alternative method which can cure you of tinnitus permanently and effectively.
