LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY FOR TINNITUS

There has been a lot of interest in Adelaide about a treatment for tinnitus, called low level laser therapy. Judith Boswell and David May, audiologists from Tinnitus SA, met with Dr Mark Rogers, who is offering the treatment.

Dr Rogers explained that laser therapy can be helpful in reducing tinnitus awareness and annoyance IF a person’s tinnitus is related to inflammation of the muscles of the head, neck, spine or jaw. It is not suitable for people with long-term damage to their inner ears, e.g. due to repeated exposure to loud noise; if they have more than a moderate hearing loss, or if they have had hearing loss for a long time.

The truth remains that there is no single cure for tinnitus, but there are management techniques which have been shown to be effective in reducing tinnitus awareness and annoyance for many people.

NEUROMONICS

The Acoustic Desensitisation Protocol, provided by Neuromonics, is a tinnitus therapy program which combines music and 'shower' sound (modified to accommodate to mild or moderate hearing loss) and counselling. The therapy is based upon the same principles as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), that is, the neurophysiological model of tinnitus generation and perception (see Fact Sheet 13).

There are three independent audiologists offering the Neuromonics Protocol in Adelaide. They are David May and Dr Judith Boswell at Adelaide Hearing Consultants (Adelaide City, ph 8410 2900; Glenelg East , ph 8376 0999) and Adrian Galindo at Allears Hearing and Tinnitus Clinic (North Adelaide, 8410 8888). The Neuromonics protocol is also available at some National Hearing Centres.
