Tinnitus, often known as “ringing in the ears,” is a very unpleasant ailment. Chronic tinnitus affects 15 to 20% of adults, according to the Mayo Clinic, and is more prevalent among elderly persons. Tinnitus noises vary from person to person, and may range from continuous tones to the typical ringing, buzzing, or even roaring, similar to the sound of the ocean when you place your ear to a seashell.
Because tinnitus impairs hearing, biofeedback techniques that rely on auditory cues are ineffective. Neurofeedback, fortunately, is mainly a visual treatment. This improves its ability to assist those who suffer from tinnitus.
Neurofeedback was shown to be particularly helpful in the long term reduction of tinnitus by Chinese researchers in 2018. They discovered that a six-month therapy had consistent effects even after the treatment had ended. However, this research only looked at one kind of patient. The findings of a Swiss review study are even more encouraging.
In the same year as the Chinese study, Swiss researchers performed a review of tinnitus studies using neurofeedback. They cited research that show neurofeedback has excellent outcomes for reducing tinnitus after mentioning its efficacy for treating ADD, ADHD, depression, and migraines. They discovered that the therapy’s efficacy was due to the process of “training” the brain to self-regulate its activity.
