The UNCG Speech and Hearing
Center now offers diagnostic and therapy services for patients suffering
with Tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
While there still is no medical cure for Tinnitus, there is a new approach for managing Tinnitus.
This approach is called Tinnitus Retraining Therapy or TRT.
Patients are first seen for in depth assessment
of their hearing and Tinnitus. From the test results, patients are placed
into a TRT treatment category.
Treatments for Tinnitus include directive
counseling and sound therapies.
Information about Tinnitus can be found at the website of the
American Tinnitus AssociaItion.
