Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) is a treatment for tinnitus that involves counseling and sound therapy to retrain connections between the auditory, limbic, and autonomic nervous systems. It categorizes patients based on factors like hearing loss and sound sensitivity and prescribes different sound therapy devices at appropriate levels. Counseling teaches patients about tinnitus mechanisms and helps reduce reactions. Studies show TRT improves tinnitus handicap in 78-96% of patients after 8-18 months of treatment.
