This technique has helped a lot of people.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica;\">Sound therapy refers to use of pleasant or calming sounds that diminish the presence of tinnitus. Because the brain can only focus on one thing at a time, using sound can provide immediate relief, in order to focus more effectively on things you want to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11594\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11594\" class=\"wp-image-11594 size-medium\" title=\"Sound Therapy.ent\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/%CE%97%CF%87%CE%BF%CE%B8%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B1%CF%80%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%B1.%CE%B5%CF%85%CE%AF%CE%B1%CF%83%CE%B9%CF%82.ent_-1-300x236.jpg\" alt=\"Sound Therapy.ent\" width=\"300\" height=\"236\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11594\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sound Therapy<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">This therapy can be compared to the sound of raindrops falling on a roof. At first it is noticed when it starts raining, but going unnoticed and put out of mind after some time.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">The therapy is employed at the perceived source of the tinnitus and aims to teach the brain to ignore it. Find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audionotch.com\/app\/tune\/\">sound that blocks out your tinnitus.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Furthermore, it is now widely accepted that most illness and tinnitus is stress related. Therefore, treatment methodologies that promote relaxation and help reduce stress can be a very effective way to prevent and treat illness. Furthermore, sound therapy is very effective at reducing stress.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">The aim of sound therapy is to reach a point where the tinnitus is \u2018filtered out\u2019 most of the time by the brain, even though it may still be present. This is called habituation. Habituation is probably best achieved if you use sound enrichment at a level that is a little quieter than your tinnitus most of the time. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Some people have used masking (playing a loud noise which drowns out the tinnitus) to give themselves a bit of relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nKo4jYDO9FQ\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nKo4jYDO9FQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row pix_padding_top=&#8221;pix-top-no-padding&#8221; pix_padding_bottom=&#8221;pix-bottom-no-padding&#8221; gradient_colors=&#8221;%5B%7B%7D%5D&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Contact us&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-phone&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:%2Fen%2Fcontacts||target:%20_blank|&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Book an appointment&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-calendar&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:%2Fen%2Fappointment||target:%20_blank|&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Get directions&#8221; color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-map-marker&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fdir%2F%2FEyiasis%2BENT%2BAcupuncture%2C%2BGeor.%2BDrosini%2B16%2C%2BKifisia%2B145%2B62%2F%4038.0718225%2C23.8122364%2C15z%2Fdata%3D!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x14a19edf40479729%3A0xa4593bd0e0aed04b!2m2!1d23.8122364!2d38.0718225||target:%20_blank|&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advances in tinnitus research have brought about several new kinds of tinnitus therapy.
