							Is there a Cure for Tinnitus?

Currently, there is no “cure” for tinnitus. That means that there is no treatment that is
universally effective in eliminating tinnitus in everyone. This doesn’t mean that there
isn’t tinnitus treatment available for those suffering from tinnitus. There is hope and with
the Tinnitus research and innovation of the doctors at Beyondtinnitus.com it is available
to all sufferers around the world.

If There is No Cure, What Can be Done?

There are methods of tinnitus treatment to reduce the loudness of the tinnitus. When
treating tinnitus there are two aspects to the treatment. 1. Treating the tinnitus sound, 2.
Treating the other problems that worsen the tinnitus. These problems include, stress,
anxiety, and depression that make the tinnitus louder. Tinnitus cannot be treated unless
associated anxiety, stress, and depression are also treated.

What type of treatment is available for tinnitus?

The best type of treatment for tinnitus is sound therapy. Sound therapy works by
stimulating the areas of the brain that cause tinnitus. This stimulation causes the tinnitus
to become quieter. This quieting of tinnitus is called tinnitus suppression. The sounds
used for tinnitus are those that are closest to the tinnitus pitch. These are the same pitches
where hearing has been lost.

The current tinnitus therapy systems available are those that are sold as part of hearing
aids (e.g., the Zen Program) or the Neuromonics device. While these programs are
effective, they are very expensive – between $3000 and $6000.

Several years of research by the doctors who developed Beyondtinnitus.com has found a
way where customized sound therapy can be delivered to the users around the world
using the power of the internet. In addition to this customized sound therapy, the tinnitus
sufferer can use their own music and mix it with their sound therapy sound via the web to
create music therapy files. This way the tinnitus sufferer can listen to their favorite music
while the sound therapy is working in the background to quiet down the tinnitus.
