According to the American Tinnitus Association:
50m
More than 50 million people have tinnitus.
10-12m
10-12 million people experience chronic tinnitus.
1-2m
For 1-2 million people, tinnitus is debilitating.
Why should I refer a patient to Treble Health? Aren’t hearing aids and sound therapy enough?
Tinnitus is not a disease, but rather a symptom of another underlying health issue. In a similar manner, tinnitus does not typically occur on its own, but rather manifests with other comorbidities. Unfortunately for many patients with tinnitus, when they seek help from a health professional, they are told there is nothing that can be done about their tinnitus. This creates frustration, discouragement, hopelessness and can lead to depression, anxiety and increased stress. All of which make tinnitus worse.
In cases of patients with hearing loss and tinnitus, a referral to an audiologist is typical and the patient is generally fit with hearing aids and possibly sound therapy is activated in the device. If the patient’s tinnitus is slight to mild, they will typically benefit from hearing aids and sound therapy. But, for patients who don’t have hearing loss or who have chronic, intrusive or debilitating tinnitus, more intervention is needed.
Intrusive tinnitus can impact a patient’s
- Sleep
- Concentration
- Mood
- Anxiety and stress levels
- Thought patterns
- Sense of control
- Ability to relax
- Quality of life
- Emotional well being
- Ability to work and socialize
Treble Health delivers a holistic approach to treatment, concentrating not only on habituating tinnitus but also treating the comorbidities associated with the tinnitus. The ultimate goal is to give control back to patients by teaching them strategies to resolve their tinnitus and reduce its impact on other areas of life.
How does our program work?
We use the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) as a baseline and outcome measure when working with patients with tinnitus. This index not only rates the severity of tinnitus but also provides insight into the areas of daily life negatively being affected by tinnitus. This allows our team of tinnitus experts to customize treatment based on each individual’s specific needs.
Patient: K.T.
reduced her TFI from
72.8 (“Catastrophic”)
to 6 (“Not a Problem”)
in 3.5 months.
Patient: J.M.
reduced her TFI from
62 (“Severe”)
to 8 (“Not a Problem”)
in 4 months.
