Tinnitus is the perception of sound without an external source. Commonly described as buzzing, ringing, or hissing, it can affect concentration, sleep, & emotional wellbeing. At EliteListen, we provide tinnitus-support hearing aids, sound therapy solutions, and expert guidance.
Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease—it often accompanies hearing loss and affects nearly 10-15% of people.
The most common type—only the individual can hear the sound. Often linked with hearing loss.
Rare, and audible by a clinician with stethoscope—caused by vascular or muscular activity in the ear.
Rhythmic pulsing sound that matches the heartbeat—usually related to blood flow or vascular conditions.
Amplifying environmental sounds can mask tinnitus, making it less noticeable—a primary intervention when hearing loss is present. Modern aids include integrated sound generators or apps with white-noise, fractal tones, or music masking.
- Widex Zen: emits calming fractal tones plus counseling and stress reduction.
- Signia Notch Therapy: targets listener’s tinnitus frequency to reduce awareness over time.
- Combination aids amplify hearing while providing masking—all in one device.
TRT combines directive counseling with sound masking to help habituate the brain to tinnitus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also effective in reducing distress and improving quality of life.
Educating about tinnitus, stress reduction methods, healthy sleep hygiene, and avoiding loud noise help reduce perception and emotional impact.

No, but they can significantly reduce the perception by amplifying external sounds and providing masking features. Long-term use may help retrain your auditory perception.
TRT pairs counseling with sound masking and may be more effective in helping the brain habituate, though masking alone also provides relief for many users.
Some improvements are noticeable immediately with sound therapy; long-term habituation may take weeks to months depending on consistency and therapy type.
