Tinnitus:
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have developed an affordable device to diagnose and manage tinnitus.
- Tinnitus is the perception of sound that does not have an external source, meaning only the affected individual can hear it.
- It is usually caused by an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, an ear injury or a problem with the circulatory system.
- It can include sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, irritability, and significant impacts on mental health and social life.
- It can also cause other types of phantom noises in your ears, including: Buzzing, Roaring and Clicking etc.
- It may include hearing aids, sound-masking devices, medicines, and ways to learn how to cope with the noise.
- This device along with its supporting application software, offers a comprehensive approach to managing tinnitus.
- It features precise tinnitus matching, which helps identify the exact nature and frequency of the sound experienced by the patient.
- It provides a customizable, multimodal approach to treatment, ensuring each patient receives a tailored experience suited to their unique condition.
