Neuromonics
Neuromonics is a form of tinnitus treatment that uses a combination of acoustic stimulation and cognitive behavioral therapy. The treatment is designed to interact, interrupt and desensitize tinnitus disturbance for long term benefit.
History[edit | edit source]
Neuromonics was developed by Paul Davis, an Australian audiologist, in the late 1990s. The treatment was initially tested in Australia before being introduced to the United States in 2003.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
The Neuromonics treatment involves the use of a device that delivers a customized neural stimulus combined with specific music tracks. The device is worn for a few hours each day, and the treatment typically lasts for six months. The treatment aims to desensitize the patient's tinnitus perception.
Effectiveness[edit | edit source]
Several studies have shown that Neuromonics can be an effective treatment for tinnitus. A study published in the journal Ear and Hearing in 2008 found that 90% of patients experienced a significant reduction in tinnitus disturbance.
