Brain Can Be Retrained To Stop The Ringing
In the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest several new approaches to treatment, including retraining the brain…
Dr. Petryk’s Thoughts: As functional neurologists, we have been evaluating and treating people with tinnitus by evaluating those areas of the brain that perceive and process sound.
A brief explanation of the condition: when those area of the brain that perceive and process sound(s) become unstable, there is spontaneous depolarization (nerve firing) and this results in the patient perceiving ringing in the ears.
There are differences between high and low pitch ringing and therefore there are differences in the way you would approach evaluation and treatment. Again, it is nearly impossible to create a “cookie cutter” therapy as each patient is completely different and has different tolerances and associated areas of brain dysfunction.
It is best to be evaluated by a Functional Neurologist who can properly asses the brain and develop treatments specific to your particular case.
