Background Sounds and Music
Those looking for ways to shift their focus from the noise generated by tinnitus can do so by playing ambient sounds, and background music is not only an inexpensive method to lessen the impact of the condition but an easy one. Also called sound therapy, its objective is to essentially draw one’s attention from the tinnitus, leading to relief from the constant and unpleasant noises from the disorder. One way to achieve this is by using white noise to mask tinnitus. There are phone applications and devices that can produce these types of sounds. In addition, TVs and radios can also be effective.
The simplicity of these techniques for distraction can have a significant impact, with many people reporting the efficacy of sound therapy to dampen both the noise the tinnitus causes and any negative thoughts associated with it. Therefore, it’s not uncommon for healthcare providers to recommend this treatment method to ease tinnitus.
