Although sound therapy is an important component of tinnitus treatment, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Many clinics rely on sound therapy devices exclusively without an integrated, multi-modal tinnitus management program. Doing so oversimplifies your concerns and doesn’t address your specific needs. For example, many tinnitus sufferers report difficulty falling asleep at night or difficulties relaxing or concentrating.
At Tinnitus and Hearing Health Calgary, we believe that the most effective way of reducing the impact of tinnitus needs to include a more holistic approach. A key component of our Tinnitus Toolbox, Sound Therapy is individualized to reflect your unique health, psychological, and social needs.
Tinnitus Sound Generators: discreet, ear-worn instruments with a built-in tinnitus sound generators that can also be used as a hearing aid (when applicable). The hearing aid component can be deactivated for persons with normal hearing who need tinnitus relief. Although white noise is commonly used for tinnitus relief, many of our clients prefer soothing music or chimes, as studies have shown music has added relaxation and stress-relief benefits that white noise does not. However, research shows that there is no tinnitus therapy sound that is more effective than others; that’s why Tinnitus and Hearing Health Calgary will not only offer you a choice on what therapy sounds will be used, but we take it a step further by customizing them, whenever possible, so they provide you the most relief.
Hearing aids: beneficial for tinnitus sufferers with significant hearing loss. It’s not uncommon for some tinnitus sufferers to blame their tinnitus for communication difficulties that are actually caused by hearing loss. Hearing aids improve speech perception, which relieves frustration and isolation. They also help stimulate the auditory system and can reduce the neural activity responsible for tinnitus generation and perception.
