Prognosis for Tinnitus Treatment

Question

How long does it generally take for tinnitus patients to experience results with a tinnitus treatment program, including tinnitus masking devices?

Answer

Treatment is part of a clinical process. It is important for professionals treating tinnitus to identify good candidates, counsel them properly, and understand how to maximize the potential for success for each patient. The entire treatment process can take six to eight months in order to achieve maximum benefit. While that may seem like a long time, many patients achieve results in much shorter periods. At Neuromonics, we routinely see patients achieving clinically significant benefits in as a little as two months when they have used the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment. It is incredibly rewarding.
