อาการเสียงดังในหู

ประเภทของการรักษาอาการเสียงดังในหูมีอะไรบ้าง?

There is no single approach to tinnitus patients as there are many causes of tinnitus. Usually a comprehensive approach is done including a combination of tinnitus education, patient counselling, sound therapy and medical intervention. In cases where medical and psychological care is not required, patients can opt for the following treatment:

Sound therapy

Appropriate sound amplification with open fit hearing aids and use of sound generations are a common well-known measure of reducing the symptoms of tinnitus by diverting an individual’s attention away from the tinnitus and focusing on environmental sounds (Sweetow & Henderson, 2010a).

Patient education and counselling (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

Patient education on tinnitus, its causes and general mechanisms can help patients identify and understand any triggers or negative reaction towards their tinnitus. Patient education can also help correct any misconceptions towards tinnitus can also help individuals change their feelings, behaviours and thoughts and reduce their reaction to the tinnitus.
