Tinnitus is a common condition characterized by ringing, rushing, or buzzing sounds in the ears. Tinnitus affects approximately 75% of individuals with hearing loss and can have a significant impact on daily activities and quality of life. While there is no cure for tinnitus, our experienced professionals offer specialized therapies to help reduce its intensity and enhance your overall well-being. At Coastal Audiology Center in Escondido, CA, our dedicated team, led by Christopher M. Sumer, NBC-HIS, and Jennifer Hill, MS, LPCC, provides effective tinnitus treatments tailored to your unique needs. We offer the following therapies to help you manage and alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus:
Sound Therapy
This treatment utilizes external sounds to modify your perception and response to tinnitus, providing relief and improving your overall comfort.
Zen Therapy
Our Zen Therapy program combines counseling, amplification, Zen tones, and relaxation techniques to minimize the negative impact of tinnitus on your quality of life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a proven therapy that helps you recognize and modify negative thought patterns associated with tinnitus, empowering you to better cope with and respond to the condition.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT equips you with mindfulness and emotional regulation skills, enhancing your ability to handle distress and negative emotions. This therapy reduces anxiety and depression while improving your overall interpersonal interactions.
Neurofeedback (EEG Biofeedback)
This innovative therapy utilizes computer-based programs to provide immediate feedback on your brainwave activity. By reorganizing or retraining these signals through sound or visual cues, neurofeedback helps reduce the impact of tinnitus.
