So I've made an appointment with an audiologist for my problem with
tinnitus and was scanning the American Tinnitus Association (again) for
just general info and came across this
"Look for a healthcare professional who is aware of the latest treatment
options, like masking or Tinnitus Retraining Therapy,..."
I was curious about what Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) is, thinking it
might be similar to what was in that last 313 post on the disorder and the
studies going on in Germany
(http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992065) - sorry I don't
remember who posted that but thanks!
Anyway - I looked up TRT on Google and came across this
http://www.earaces.com/TRT.htm
Looks like tinnitus is a natural condition - not an "actual" threat to your
hearing (in most cases). It's more of a maladaption of a natural reaction
to a perceived threat. Still, wear earplugs when you are in loud
environments!
If you are concerned about tinnitus go to the last link and check it out.
Hey Max - let me know what you think of all this ok? I'm dropping the
$120.00 next week on some of those custom earplugs.
