Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

[Piney]

Couple of questions - If your hearing is bad in one ear with tinnitus, can you use a hearing aid with masker in one ear? What's the timeframe to wearing the masker with TRT forever?

I bought the TRT book but it hasn't arrived. I understand the concept of it all and it can take up to 2 years but what are some base methods. I imagine besides not seeing tinnitus as a threat, to possibly drop your thought of it once it enters your conscious?

I know that's part of other methods as well. Sounds simple but we all know how that is.

I'm not sure if you would only want to use the masker in one ear or not - I would think both ears still as you're attempting introduce a new sound to the brain so that it's focus is turned away from the ringing if you will. For a hearing aid, maybe one ear is fine... but I'm not sure.

Most people have success with TRT within 6-9 months, but there are outliers. You can wear the ear maskers for as long as you want. I rarely wear them on my quiet days any longer - really just louder days. Dr. Hubbard (specializes in CBT for tinnitus) has recommended for users to eventually wean off them. At some point I will probably attempt this.

I haven't tried TRT but I've done some CBT. I find as of now when I have relapses I take meds. I usually habituate in 12-18 months.

I was doing some research and ran across this:

'ATA is one of the only organizations worldwide funding tinnitus research. Learn about ATA's innovative Roadmap to a Cure, and recently-funded studies.'

Is it true?
G-D bless!

 

[David Dorci]

Has anyone had success with TRT? What is the process? Thanks.

 

[Contrast]

A forced therapy the community is forced to deal with made by a guy who cannot tell the difference between noises sounding too loud and noises sounding painful. Also audiologists love TRT because it comes bundled with hearing aids and that's how they profit.

TRT may help some people with tinnitus and "loudness hyperacusis" but I don't believe it does jackshit for noise induced pain.

 

[Manny]

but I don't believe it does jackshit for noise induced pain.

Nor, importantly for many, many people with severe tinnitus (such as myself). As evinced by experiences shared on this board.
Not to mention common sense, when the actual content of the "therapy" is examined.

Last I heard of it placebo is the only process:

I have not tried TRT, so I can't comment on it. I did, however, try CBT, specifically tailored for Tinnitus Distress, short term, and it worked out very well. If you're experiencing various problems due to tinnitus, need to get back on your feet again and face the world with a new perspective, acquire the tools can help you cope, and speed up the habituation process, then there is a very good chance that CBT will work for you. Good luck.

 

[Lilah]

If you are in a country where TRT is free, go for it.

Quite agree with you Mannie.
When the hospital assessed me for CBT or TRT they said that my knowledge and understanding of Tinnitus was pretty complete and they could not see what further benefit I would acquire.
In fact, of course, I knew that already.

The only answer I am interested in is a treatment to reduce the volume and intensity.
No more 'airy-fairy' psychobabble posing as therapy, which simply adds up to more 'bullshit.'

When the industry knows it has NO answers they should come out and say so, but that would not generate profit would it, and would put a lot of clinicians out of work.

I am reminded of that famous quote
by Gertrude Stein regarding
'The Meaning Of Life."

"There ain't no answer.
There ain't gonna be any answer.
There never has been an answer.
That's the answer."
Gertrude Stein

This may not be the case with Tinnitus Mannie, but at the moment I reckon that's the state of play.

Best wishes buddy

Changes in the resting-state cortical oscillatory activity 6 months after modified tinnitus retraining therapy

Although tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) based on Jastreboff's classical neurophysiological model is efficacious in most patients, its effects on the cortical activity changes responsible for the improvement of tinnitus are still unclear. In this study, we compared pre- and post-TRT resting-state quantitative electroencephalography (rs-qEEG) findings to identify power changes that could explain TRT-induced improvements. Thirty-seven patients with severe tinnitus were enrolled in the study, and rs-qEEG data recorded before the initial TRT sessions and 6 months after TRT were compared. In addition, associations between the changes in qEEG and percentage improvements in Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) scores and numeric rating scale (NRS) scores of tinnitus loudness and tinnitus perception were examined. The mean THI score decreased significantly 6 months after the initial TRT session. Also, significant improvements were observed 6 months after the initial TRT session compared with the pre-treatment scores in NRS loudness, distress, and perception. As compared with the pre-TRT status, post-TRT 6 months status showed significantly decreased powers in the left primary and secondary auditory cortices for the gamma frequency band. Changes in the alpha 1 frequency band power in the right insula and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) appeared to be positively correlated with the percentage changes in NRS distress. These results suggested that TRT improved tinnitus-related distress by reducing the power of the top-down autonomic response modulator or peripheral physiological responses to emotional experiences. That is, TRT induced habituation via modulation of functional connections between the auditory system and the limbic and autonomic nervous systems. Our results confer additional basis for understanding the neurophysiological model and the newly suggested integrative model of tinnitus by De Ridder et al in the context of the long-term efficacy of TRT.

I just watched that video interview with Dr. Shore.
Compare her level of scientific terminology, knowledge and expertise to that of all of the too-numerous-to-mention
quacks out there on the Internet (especially Julian Cowan Hill).
I was extremely grateful that scientists at her level are determinedly researching this.

 

[alex1975]

@Michael Leigh how do you find an audiologist to do it? And does it have to be Neuromonics?

Also look into Levo, it's expensive, I was quoted $6000 from my audiologist, but it is a much shorter treatment (3 months), with results within the first month of using it. Also there is the Neuromod Lenire device, which uses sound and neurostimulation. The Neuromod one is only available in Ireland as we speak and is half the cost of the Levo, although you need to consider flights, hotels and such...

Hey, where's Laos... that's where I live.

Guess it's back to the local Shaman for me... such is life.

I just watched that video interview with Dr. Shore.
Compare her level of scientific terminology, knowledge and expertise to that of all of the too-numerous-to-mention
quacks out there on the Internet (especially Julian Cowan Hill).
I was extremely grateful that scientists at her level are determinedly researching this.

Myth propagating, habituation clowns such as Julian Cowan Hill are a liability.
It is partly because of those people, that most of the medical community isn't taking the need for a real Tinnitus treatmemt seriously.

As long as these quacks are preaching that everyone can habituate to Tinnitus (no matter how intrusive), those who have the means to look for actual solutions will remain confused at best and most likely use their talents elsewhere.

Seriously. Julian Cowan Hill need to go the hell away with his habituation bullshit.

 

[Kai Love]

Uh no. I can very easily afford it.
Also, there is no need for it to cost so much in the first place.

Hi @JohnAdams ,

Did you ever try TRT? If so, did it help you manage your tinnitus to any degree?

I agree it is way expensive for something that is not a cure. I was quoted $4500 for the program. I am just not sure what else to do in the meantime.

Heck no. I, like many, realized early on that this condition is a physical condition, not psychological. As of today, I feel like I am on the path to total healing by trying several strategies. None of the said strategies involves sound therapy, or psychology. Actually, regarding sound therapy, I wake up around 6:30 AM and sit on the potty for about 30 minutes every morning with the shower on cold as a form of sound therapy and I wonder if that is also part of my improvements. I attribute the bulk of my recent improvement on my use of curcumin and turmeric. It's a long story.

Thank you for the response, and I follow many of your posts. I have been consuming lots of turmeric (and eat black pepper for increased bioavailability) and I take the Nordic Naturals Omega Curcumin (which is supposed increase bioavailability over many hours based on some UCLA study -- hey, the research marketing got me, but hope it helps).

Your major improvement was from Dr. Minbo Shim's procedure, correct?

I am currently doing a demo of a TRT system, and it has helped me be less anxious to this 16,000 Hz tinnitus sound. Still trying to figure out if I should use/spend money on this modality in the meantime. Anyway, thanks again JohnAdams.

 

[JohnAdams]

I really have no idea. I think so. My advice is to start with curcumin.

How has your experience with it been?

 

[JohnAdams]

I think the Omega Curcumin supplement has helped a bit with inflammation,

is it affecting you tinnitus intensity?

I think NN's Omega Curcumin supplement has helped a bit with inflammation (from TMD and neck pain), along with eating and making teas/smoothies from turmeric and ginger. I have only been taking 2 pills a day for the past 2 weeks and might increase the to 3-4 pills/"2 servings" (2 pills in morning and 2 in the evening). Hard to say for sure at this point how much it is helping, and I will continue to monitor and report back. I think it might have made it more fluctuating (like cymbals sound, but at 16 kHz frequency) to some degree. Probably about the same intensity, but maybe a little less. At night, it has seemed less intense the past two days. I know that is not a good answer. It is just hard to say, because the T is still so draining, and at such a high frequency.

Fingers crossed for a definite and marked improvement in the near future from the Omega Curcumin supplement. I will report back after more time has elapsed.

Just report back Captain. Over and out.

TRT = snake oil = scam.

 

[Jazzer]

There is no cure.
There is no effective treatment.
We do not know if there ever will be.
If sufferers choose to live, and therapies help them to cope with this condition, then they are of immense value, and may be life saving.

In 200,000 years of human habitation (some evangelical Americans may prefer to substitute 10,000 years) nobody has ever effectively treated or cured tinnitus.

If psychological therapies help - use them.
They are all we currently have.
Unless you prefer to put your faith and your money into 'gizmos.'

Hi, I was wondering if those people who were successfully treated with TRT or other such therapies still protect themselves from future acoustic trauma?

Thank you.

You should always protect yourself from acoustic trauma. TRT or not is irrelevant. Even healthy people should protect themselves from acoustic trauma.

 

[Brooklyn NY]

Thank you for your responses. I guess I overestimated TRT and other therapies.

 

[Contrast]

Does TRT require one to purchase or rent expensive in ear devices?

Why can't users just use their own ear buds instead of "TRT certified ones. That seems to be the ultimate reason why TRT is so expensive.
