Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) is a form of habituation therapy designed to help people who experience tinnitus—a ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sound heard when no external sound source is present. Two key components of TRT directly follow from the neurophysiological model of tinnitus: Directive counseling aims to help the sufferer reclassify tinnitus to a category of neutral signals,[clarification needed] and sound therapy[1] weakens tinnitus-related neuronal activity.[2]
The goal of TRT is to allow a person to manage their reaction to their tinnitus: habituating themselves to it, and restoring unaffected perception.[3] Neither Tinnitus Retraining Therapy or any other therapy reduces or eliminates tinnitus.
An alternative to TRT is tinnitus masking: the use of noise, music, or other environmental sounds to obscure or mask the tinnitus. Hearing aids can partially mask the condition.[4] A review of tinnitus retraining therapy trials indicates that it may be more effective than tinnitus masking.[5]
