About the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment

Neuromonics is a treatment for people suffering from a tinnitus condition, where there is a constant ringing, buzzing or whistling in the ear. Neuromonics treats tinnitus by customizing a compact auditory device to each patient's needs. The device is designed to play music at a relaxed volume, thus blocking out the distracting outside noise caused by tinnitus.

Significance

• Tinnitus can be a constant interference in everyday events including work, social activities and sleep. Neuromonics is able to target the underlying causes of the condition.

Time Frame

• The neuromonics tinnitus treatment has a required usage of two to three hours per day and takes approximately six months to reach an end result from the beginning assessment to the last appointments with a specialized audiologist.

Benefits

• The inconspicuous device is portable, allowing for treatment times to be fixed accordingly to the patient's schedule and activities. For some, the signal is quiet and relaxing enough to be used as a sleep aid. Neuromonics' calming audio can itself be therapeutic.

Considerations

• The neuromonics treatment begins with the device being worn for longer amounts of time to get initial control over the condition, then gradually reduces as the brain becomes in control of tuning the tinnitus out. The last stage of treatment requires a maintenance program to keep up with the results of treatment.

Misconceptions

• Neuromonics tinnitus treatment is not necessarily designed to cure the condition permanently, but provide a way for those affected to tune out the disturbance and go about their activities as normal.
