Wearing a sound generator like the Beltone Tinnitus Breaker up to eight hours a day will be the most effective therapy for tinnitus. Improvements can occur over the first 2-3 months and most people will show a good degree of habituation within the first six months.

A treatment that is successful in the long term, however, can necessitate acoustic therapy and supervision for a period of 12 months or more. Managing expectations is vital for the success of acoustic therapy.

When is tinnitus treated?

Your tinnitus might never go away completely. However, you should consider tinnitus as treated when you have habituated the tinnitus sound. This would occur at a time when you are no longer bothered by the tinnitus to the extent that it affects your well being and daily life.
