Guide To Diagnosing And Treating Pulsatile Tinnitus

Tinnitus Retraining

The best course of treatment will vary depending on the underlying cause of the tinnitus. Doctors will typically focus on treating the underlying cause first. Oftentimes, when the underlying cause has been cured or sufficiently managed, the symptoms of pulsatile tinnitus resolve. However, some patients may experience the sound on a permanent or semi-permanent basis. In these cases, tinnitus retraining can be helpful. This therapy method is used for those with permanent tinnitus to help them cope with their condition both subconsciously and consciously. Tinnitus retraining incorporates three main principles. First, the doctor collects extensive information about the patient's medical history and living habits. Then, they use electronic devices to generate noise and direct the patient's attention from their tinnitus. The third component is integrated psychological therapy that teaches the patient how to ignore their tinnitus.
