What Is Tinnitus Management?
Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, hissing, or whistling sounds in the ear without an external source. While common, persistent tinnitus can disturb sleep, concentration, productivity, and overall well-being. At Adro Hearing Aid Centre, our Tinnitus Management Program combines evidence-based therapies—including Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), sound therapy, counselling, and hearing-aid-based solutions—to help you reduce the intensity and impact of tinnitus.
Why Is Tinnitus Management Important?
Effective tinnitus management helps you:
- Reduce stress and anxiety caused by persistent ear noise
- Improve focus, sleep quality, and daily functioning
- Desensitize the brain’s response to tinnitus signals
- Address underlying hearing loss, a key trigger for tinnitus
- Regain control over your listening comfort and lifestyle
Early intervention prevents tinnitus from escalating into chronic distress, making timely treatment essential.
How TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy) Is Done at Adro
At Adro, TRT is delivered by trained audiologists following a structured protocol:
Detailed Assessment
- We begin with a comprehensive tinnitus evaluation—hearing tests, pitch matching, loudness assessment, and medical history review.
Directive Counselling
- Our audiologists explain how tinnitus develops, how the brain responds to sound, and how habituation works. This step reduces fear and empowers patients with clarity.
Sound Therapy
- We use customised sound generators, hearing aids with tinnitus maskers, or personalised relaxing soundscapes. These help soften the tinnitus perception and retrain the brain to reduce sensitivity.
Continuous Monitoring
- Regular follow-ups ensure progress, adjust settings, and support optimal habituation.
Patient Preparation
- No special preparation is required.
- Carry previous hearing test reports, if available.
- Note down when and how tinnitus occurs (duration, triggers, severity)
- Allocate adequate time for counselling and discussions.
