Q. I've heard that tinnitus is a lifelong companion. Is it truly incurable?

A.

A complete cure is difficult, but it is possible to make it unnoticeable (through adaptation). This involves training the brain to recognize the tinnitus sound as "unimportant background noise" (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, TRT). In fact, with treatment, 7 to 8 out of 10 people improve to the extent that it no longer interferes with their daily lives.

📝 Detailed Answer

소리에 감정을 섞지 마세요.

  • 뇌 가소성: 뇌는 훈련하면 변합니다. 이명 소리에 집중하지 않는 훈련을 합니다.
  • 한방: 신체 컨디션이 좋으면 이명 소리가 작아집니다. 몸을 건강하게 만드는 것이 치료의 핵심입니다.
💡 긍정

"이 소리가 날 죽이진 않아"라고 생각하면 뇌가 경계 태세를 풀어 소리가 점점 작게 느껴집니다.
