Tinnitus Relief Sound Masking 1.2

What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is characterized by the perception of sound within the ear, occurring without any external auditory stimulus. This condition can manifest differently among individuals; while some may experience little to no disturbance, others find it to be an incessant nuisance, described as a constant whistling, buzzing, or hissing that disrupts focus and concentration during daily activities.

The management of tinnitus often involves sound therapy, a treatment modality in which patients listen to sounds that closely resemble the noise perceived by their ears for approximately 4 to 6 hours daily. This method of sound masking aims to reduce the perception of tinnitus and helps to recalibrate auditory experiences.

Research suggests that consistent adherence to audio treatment over a six-week period can lead to a significant reduction in symptoms, with some individuals reporting complete relief.
