Patients with tinnitus nervosa are usually not recommended to wear hearing aids for treatment, and are commonly treated with medication, in conjunction with psychotherapy and electrical stimulation therapy.
Hearing aids are often used to treat hearing loss, and may be considered as appropriate for tinnitus patients with combined hearing loss, but should not be offered to tinnitus patients who do not already have a moderate hearing loss.
Tinnitus is primarily treated with medications, including calcium antagonists such as flunarizine, vasodilators such as betahistine, and neurotrophic drugs such as methylcobalamin.
Most patients with tinnitus have various degrees of psychological problems, so psychological treatments such as cognitive therapy and attention training are needed.
Masking therapy, biofeedback therapy, tinnitus retraining therapy, tinnitus habituation method, and electrical stimulation therapy are also common treatment options.
It is recommended that patients with tinnitus go to a regular hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions for symptomatic treatment.
