Are you experiencing persistent ringing in your ears?
Neurofeedback for Tinnitus
Tinnitus is when you hear a sound, like ringing in your ears, without an external cause. People with tinnitus may also experience other sounds such as:
- Roaring
- Buzzing
- Hissing
- Crickets
- Screeching
- Sirens
- Whooshing
- Static
- Pulsing
- Ocean waves
- Buzzing
- Clicking
- Dial tones
- Music
A study was recently published in the Journal of Annals of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery that was performed by Dr. Aldo Messina and Dr. Giorgio Raponi. This study was about Dynamical Neurofeedback® Neuroptimal®: A New Approach to Improve the Perception of Tinnitus Through Cerebral Self-Regulation.
According to NeurOptimal®, the study’s conclusion indicates encouraging initial findings:
“NeurOptimal® Training improves both perception of handicap and levels of depression, anxiety and stress. NeurOptimal® Training, like any other valid treatment for tinnitus, does not eliminate tinnitus, but it has the ability to reduce the perception and attention to it, aspects that represent the crux of the treatment of this disorder. In some cases, at the end of the treatment, perception is reduced to such an extent that the problem almost disappears in the subject, together with an improvement in the psychophysical state. The results highlighted so far are promising and seem to confirm the peculiar characteristic of this technique, namely that it is based on the key principles of brain activity: self-regulation, neuroplasticity and learning. According to these preliminary results, the result of this pilot study, NeurOptimal® represents a valid aid for tinnitus patients.”
