Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) uses a combination of low level, broadband noise and counseling to achieve the habituation of tinnitus (ringing or sound in the ears) that is the patient is no longer aware of their tinnitus, except when they focus their attention on it, and even then tinnitus is not annoying or bothersome.

Hyperacusis is a decreased tolerance of sound and can be a serious problem. Some patients experience hyperacusis without tinnitus. Some patients experience hyperacusis in addition to tinnitus. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy can restore totally or partially the normal level of sensitivity to sound.

During the evaluation process your Doctor of Audiology evaluates your case history, reviews and/or conducts audiological testing and evaluates other factors, which position you into one of five categories within the TRT protocol. It is from that point that specific treatment recommendations are made.

The staff at The Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Clinic has been trained by Dr. Pawel Jastreboff in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy and follow these principals, protocols and treatment guidelines.
