Sound Therapy
In many cases of tinnitus, the cause is never found and the damage cannot be reversed. Doctors may suggest sound therapy to help reduce the ringing. Sound therapy involves the use of external sounds [4] to mask or drown out the ringing in your ears. The relief is not permanent.
Sound therapy devices often play white noise, background music, or nature sounds. These days, sound-masking devices are made to fit in the ear. Sound therapy for some people involves using headphones or listening to voices or music from a television or radio. The goal is to mask the noise.
A recent study [5] found that broadband noises like white or pink noise are the best for masking tinnitus.
