Summary

Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) uses counseling and sound therapy to help patients habituate to tinnitus perception. This approach aims to reclassify tinnitus as neutral and reduce neuronal activity, improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Neuroscience
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Tinnitus is a complex auditory perception.
  • Existing tinnitus habituation methods vary.
  • Jastreboff's neurophysiological model provides a framework for understanding tinnitus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the theoretical basis of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT).
  • To discuss the clinical outcomes of TRT for various tinnitus types.
  • To explain the neurophysiological underpinnings of TRT.

Main Methods:

  • TRT integrates two core components based on the neurophysiological model.
  • Component 1: Counseling to reclassify tinnitus perception.
  • Component 2: Sound therapy to reduce tinnitus-related neuronal activity.

Main Results:

  • TRT aims for habituation of reactions to tinnitus.
  • Subsequent habituation of tinnitus perception is the goal.
  • Clinical outcomes of TRT are commented upon for different tinnitus types.

Conclusions:

  • TRT is a structured clinical method for tinnitus management.
  • The combination of counseling and sound therapy is essential for TRT.
  • TRT offers a pathway to habituate tinnitus perception and associated reactions.
