Before embarking on a trip to
acquire tinnitus devices to treat the
tormenting sounds in the ear, it is worthwhile to know
that the condition of tinnitus need not necessarily be
solved by any of the devices currently available in the
market. On the other hand, some of these are known to
sometimes aggravate tinnitus sounds.
The
Aim of Tinnitus Devices and Aids
Tinnitus devices , generally
speaking, can however bring some degree of relief to the
abnormal sounds by cleverly interfering with the way our
brain interprets sound signals. It is advisable that one
goes in for a thorough check up at the physician’s
before deciding on any particular device. There is no
single device that suits everybody.
The condition of tinnitus is
produced by many wide ranging factors and therefore,
different cases find relief through different
ways.
The
List of Tinnitus Devices and Control
Instruments
Here’s a
list of some of the most popular and commonly
recommended tinnitus devices that can offer some help to
those suffering from tinnitus:
·
One of the popular
tinnitus devices are ‘maskers’.
These are intended to produce a static sound to help
mask the tinnitus sounds by shifting focus away from the
more disturbing ringing sounds that are produced in the
auditory canal.
·
Neuronomics
devices
are a more advanced form of maskers where
the masking noise is effectively camouflaged with music
to produce a relaxing result.
·
Sometimes hearing aids
have also been known to provide some relief to tinnitus
in certain cases.
·
Some tinnitus devices
come in the form of cochlear (inner ear) implants. These
produce electrical stimulations within the inner ear in
an attempt to substitute what healthy ear cells would
do.
·
Some noise
generators are used as
part of Tinnitus
Retraining Therapy
(TRT). These noise generators are only used in
conjunction with appropriate counseling to dispel
negative thoughts.
Most of these tinnitus
devices
are marketed in different forms to suit many
conveniences and preferences. Some of these are used
more for those tinnitus symptoms that accompany hearing
loss. Others act more as placeboes. The exact nature of
relief one might derive from tinnitus devices will
depend to a large extent on the nature of the causes of
tinnitus. If the root cause of tinnitus is correctly
identified then it is possible that a device can offer
relief to cope with the situation.
For any long term solutions,
tinnitus devices have to be supplemented with a lot of
self help and determination to cure the entire body
holistically in order to get to the roots of the tinnitus
.
