Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus, pronounced TIN-ah-tus or tih-NIGHT-us,is the perception of sound when no external sound is present.
Some people with tinnitus also experience a condition called hyperacusis, which is a low tolerance for sound. Many patients with these conditions experience anxiety, lack of concentration and loss of sleep. Some may feel hopeless. They worry that they may have a life threatening condition or wonder if the sound is real or in their imagination. Since the condition is fairly common, many tinnitus sufferers wonder why it seems to bother them much more than it does others.FACT:Tinnitus affects more than 50 million Americans to various degrees. At least 12 million of those suffer enough to seek medical attention.

Conditions that can cause tinnitus
Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease. There are various conditions (almost always benign) that can trigger tinnitus such as aging, medications, jaw alignment, (TMJ), earwax, noise-induced hearing loss, and other medical conditions. However, discovering that you have tinnitus does not automatically mean that you have a medical condition.How sound generators work
Sound generators are ear worn devices that are used in tinnitus and hyperacusis management programs using sound therapy. The devices produce a soft, soothing gentle noise similar to the sound from a showerhead, fountain or a gently falling rain. The noise helps reduce the perceived “loudness” of the tinnitus. With the loudness of the tinnitus reduced, the tinnitus becomes less annoying and more manageable. In hyperacusis treatment, the noise is used to “de-sensitize” the central auditory system.Tranquil is a sound generator for those patients that have normal hearing. It is comfortable, cosmetically appealing and does not fill the ear canal (non-occluding). It can be worn for all daily activity and may be worn while sleeping. Combo devices are combination of amplification and sound generator. Designed for those who have hearing loss and tinnitus and/or hyperacusis. An excellent benefit of the GHI instruments is the optional, patented soft silicone body construction, which allows the instruments to be comfortably worn for extended periods of time or while sleeping. Taking the first step toward relief
 If you suspect that you have tinnitus, you should schedule an evaluation with a hearing professional specializing in appropriate tinnitus treatment and therapy programs. After a complete hearing examination, you may be referred for medical examination by an ENT physician. A physician can determine if some form of medical treatment is required.
