Abstract:
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) is a well-accepted treatment modality for tinnitus. It is developed as a practical application of Jastreboff's neurophysiologic model. Tinnitus is observed to be frequently accompanied by hyperacusis. Both these disorders have a common pathophysiology. Hence, they are expected to respond to TRT, which addresses the processes that contribute also to their etiology. This is a systematic review which proposes to elucidate the efficacy of TRT in the treatment of hyperacusis.
