Tinnitus Management Approaches

No medication has been shown to cure tinnitus, but several management approaches reduce its impact. Sound enrichment reduces the contrast of silence, hearing aids address the hearing loss that often accompanies it, and cognitive behavioural therapy, which has the strongest evidence, targets the distress it causes.

Many people habituate over time. Pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus in one ear only, and tinnitus with dizziness or sudden hearing loss are usually investigated medically for an underlying cause.
