FINDING RELIEF FROM TINNITUS

The tinnitus experience is personal: some people may not find their tinnitus bothersome, while others might find it to be highly annoying and distressing.

Remember that tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease or illness. This means that there is no direct cure for tinnitus, but there are a number of ways to manage the tinnitus and reduce its impact on your quality of life.

It isn’t always possible to determine the exact cause of tinnitus, but where the cause is known, treating the underlying condition may also have a positive impact on your tinnitus.

TINNITUS RELIEF METHODS

There are several methods for tinnitus relief. You might use only one or several in combination with each other. Some may work better for you than others – it is not a one-size-fits-all treatment.

FRACTAL TONES

Using other sounds to distract your brain from the tinnitus is the most common method, which is called sound therapy. At Widex, we offer both the Zen and SoundRelax™ tones to provide you with relief from your tinnitus, enhancing relaxation and well-being.
