In general, tinnitus refers to a phenomenon in which the nerve pathways that detect the sound of inner ear, auditory nerve, brain, etc., and abnormal irritability caused by various causes in the connected nervous system. These tinnitus symptoms have been considered as diseases caused by aging. However, in recent years, young people who are exposed to sound facilities are increasingly complaining of tinnitus symptoms.
As such, the cause of tinnitus varies, and the treatment methods are also diverse. For example, pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, hearing aids that raise the sounds of the surroundings, and the use of tinnitus And bow training methods are widely used. This method is recommended by the clinician because of the high success rate of treatment. In this method, the human brain uses repetitive sound stimulation to make the tinnitus sound unnecessary. The treatment takes a maximum of 12 months There were disadvantages. In addition, most of the tinnitus treatment devices that have been commercialized so far have been developed mainly for use in shielding the tinnitus. However, the tinnitus shielding method has a disadvantage of hearing loss due to side effects.
