Tinnitus Treatment in India

Aditya Brown, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been an avid concert-goer and musician. Over the past three years, he developed a persistent, high-pitched ringing in both ears, which he initially dismissed as temporary. The constant noise became intrusive, making it difficult to concentrate at work, enjoy quiet moments with his family, and even sleep. He felt irritable and withdrawn, worried he was losing a fundamental part of his life. His ENT, Dr. Evans, diagnosed him with chronic sensorineural tinnitus, likely from years of noise exposure. She recommended a comprehensive Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) program, combining sound therapy with directive counseling. Aditya was skeptical but desperate. The treatment involved wearing a wearable sound generator that produced a soft, neutral broadband noise and attending sessions to help his brain reclassify the tinnitus as an unimportant sound. Initially, it felt like adding more noise to the problem. However, after four months of consistent therapy, the emotional distress around the ringing began to fade. The tinnitus didn't disappear, but it lost its power. He could focus at work again, sleep through the night, and enjoy his daughter's piano recital without the internal noise dominating his experience. The emotional journey was from frustration and fear to acceptance and empowerment, regaining control over his auditory world.
