Is there any cure for tinnitus?
Tinnitus is often, linked to a hearing loss, but not always. If the tiny hair cells of the cochlea are damaged, the cochlea becomes less good at discriminating sounds, and your hearing is affected. The most common way of alleviate tinnitus is to wear a hearing instrument. Treatment may include counselling, relaxation therapy and stress management and advice on the use of hearing aids, white noise generators (WNG) and environmental sound enrichment. Practising relaxation and taking time out for yourself can also be a great help.
