Neuromonics Treatment
Neuromonics Treatment is an approach which is built on the theory that tinnitus often results from neurological changes in the brain resulting from hearing loss. These changes result in the perception of a whistling, ringing or buzzing called tinnitus. Once the auditory system generates this sound, another part of the brain (the limbic system) attaches an emotional component. This begins to trigger anxiety and other negative reactions to the sound.
The Neuromonics system is a breakthrough treatment which has been studied and has received FDA clearance as a tinnitus treatment. The Neuromonics company describes the treatment as “a small, lightweight Oasis™ device with headphones (which) delivers precisely designed music embedded with a pleasant acoustic neural stimulus. These sounds, customized for each user’s audiological profile, stimulate the auditory pathway to promote neural plastic changes. Over time, these new connections help the brain to filter out tinnitus disturbance, providing long-term relief from symptoms.
O’Connor Hearing Center provides complete Neuromonics Treatment. The program consists of these elements:
· Tinnitus Evaluation
· A personal assessment to determine if the Neuromonics Treatment Option is appropriate.
· If Neuromonics would be appropriate and you agree this option is for you, the Oasis Device is fit to your personal specifications.
· The treatment consists of two stages which typically last six months.
