New Devices for Tinnitus Treatment!
New Device Available for Those With Tinnitus!
Several new devices have been introduced recently that are primarily aimed at those 40 million patients that suffer from hearing loss and tinnitus. While there is still no cure for tinnitus there are treatment options available that offer hope and help.
Two of the major hearing aid manufacturers have introduced a hearing aid that also produces a therapy sound along with the hearing correction. Widex uses music as the therapy tones while GN Resound uses a noise generator that plays a soft white noise sound. The idea behind these devices is based upon Tinnitus Retraining Therapy which uses sound as a way for the brain to retrain the way it reacts to the tinnitus.
These devices are small and very comfortable to wear. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy boasts an 85% success rate at making life easier for those who suffer from this ailment. If you have any questions or would like any more information on tinnitus please call or email us.
