UNDERSTANDING TINNITUS RETRAINING THERAPY (TRT)
Conquer the Ringing
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) is a structured treatment approach designed to help manage and reduce the impact of tinnitus on your daily life. Developed by leading experts, TRT combines directive counselling and individualised sound therapy as a therapeutic approach to help you habituate to tinnitus. The goal of TRT is to diminish the emotional and perceptual impact of tinnitus, helping you feel more in control, promoting better sleep, and enhancing your overall well-being.

In the counselling component, a trained professional provides education and guidance to help you understand the causes and mechanisms of tinnitus. This process includes the expertise of mindfulness coaches to explore strategies to reduce stress and anxiety related to tinnitus and develop coping techniques to improve your quality of life.
Masking Tinnitus with Soothing Sounds
Sound therapy involves the use of external sounds, music and neutral noise to reduce the impact of tinnitus. This includes wearable devices like hearing aids and sound generators that can incorporate environmental sounds or calming music into your daily routine.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound—such as ringing, buzzing, or hissing—without an external source. It affects approximately 10-15% of the global population and can result from various factors, including prolonged exposure to loud noise, ear infections, hearing loss, and stress. While more common with age, tinnitus can affect individuals of any age, and it's a legitimate auditory condition involving changes in the auditory system.
Various factors, including exposure to loud noises, ear infections, hearing loss, earwax buildup, and certain medications can cause tinnitus. Underlying health conditions may also contribute. It is often a symptom of changes in the auditory system.
Yes, tinnitus is quite common. It affects millions of people worldwide, with varying degrees of severity. It can occur in anyone at any age, although it is more prevalent in older adults.
While there is no definitive cure for tinnitus, it's important to dispel the misconception that it will inevitably worsen with age. In fact, with the right strategies—such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and lifestyle adjustments—many people see significant improvement in coping with the condition over time.
Numerous strategies exist, each offering hope for improved quality of life. These include avoiding loud environments, using background noise, practising relaxation techniques, and seeking professional help from audiologists and ENT specialists. Understanding and implementing these strategies can significantly improve your ability to cope with tinnitus.
Tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, but not everyone with tinnitus experiences hearing loss. A comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional can help determine the underlying cause.
Some people find relief through home remedies like using white noise machines, reducing caffeine intake, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
Yes, stress and anxiety can exacerbate tinnitus symptoms. Managing stress through mindfulness, exercise, and therapy can help improve your overall experience with tinnitus.
If you experience sudden tinnitus, especially accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness or hearing loss, or if it significantly impacts your daily life, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional.
Yes, various support groups and online communities exist for individuals with tinnitus. Connecting with others can provide emotional support and practical coping strategies.
TRT is an evidence-based treatment that combines sound therapy with specialised counselling. Sound therapy provides consistent, low-level background noise that helps your brain learn to filter out tinnitus over time. While TRT does not eliminate tinnitus, most individuals experience a reduction in how much it interferes with their daily lives. It's important to note that TRT requires patience, as it typically takes 12 to 18 months to see meaningful improvement.
CBT and TRT are highly complementary in treating tinnitus. While TRT focuses on retraining the brain to reduce awareness of the tinnitus sound, CBT addresses the emotional and psychological impact of the condition. CBT helps individuals modify negative thoughts and behaviours associated with tinnitus, reducing anxiety, stress, and emotional distress. By combining both approaches, patients often experience a more comprehensive improvement—TRT addresses the perception of tinnitus, while CBT helps manage the emotional response.
