Sound Therapy

Sound therapy may alleviate tinnitus symptoms. Comparators may include standard drug therapy alone, placebo, or another non-acoustic intervention alone. Sound therapy is the clinical use of sound to change tinnitus perception or the patient reaction to tinnitus. Eligible sound therapy interventions must begin within 6 months of ISSNHL onset and last 6 months or less. A book titled Sound Medicine was published in the same year as the conversation described in the article. The journey to sound medicine followed a progression from analytical neurology through chronic-disease research, Ayurvedic practice, and quantum biology study. Sound medicine is framed as the natural destination of taking quantum biology seriously, given that vibration and frequency are central to that science. Sound therapy is considered non-invasive and has a favorable safety profile. Relevant sound therapy forms for ISSNHL-associated tinnitus include TMT, TRT, and music therapy.
