Counseling
Counseling session involves an in-depth discussion of the tests, anatomy and physiology of the hearing mechanism and how it relates to hyperacusis. It focuses on educating the patient and helps to relieve their fears and concerns.
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy
TRT is habituation-oriented therapy. The goal of this therapy is to reduce the patient's reactions to hyperacusis. Sound therapy is used to decrease a patient's sensitivity to sounds and to teach them to view sound in a positive manner. TRT consists of a combination of counseling and sound therapy, for which the patient uses low-level sound for several hours a day.
Alternative treatments
Some people have taken minerals such as magnesium or zinc, herbal preparations such as Ginkgo biloba, homeopathic remedies, or B vitamins for their problem.
