Tinnitus retraining therapy involves masking of tinnitus at sound perception level in combination with structured counselling sessions. To assess efficacy of Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) in Patients of Tinnitus with Sensori Neural Hearing loss. Prospective study was carried out on patients who presented with Tinnitus in ENT OPD from December 2015 to December 2016. Severity of tinnitus was documented using Tinnitus handicap inventory scale. Response to tinnitus is evaluated at the end of 3 months. In our study 57 patients in age group 21-78 years were selected and Tinnitus retraining therapy was administered. Most of patients had moderate (75.43%) perception of tinnitus before initiation of therapy. After completion of therapy tinnitus completely disappeared in 34 (59.65%) patients. Improvement in Tinnitus perception was observed in total of 49 (85.96%) patients. There was no improvement in Tinnitus perception in 8 (14.03%) patients. TRT aims in reducing the tinnitus perception by inducing habituation of tinnitus-induced reactions allowing patients to achieve control over their tinnitus, live a normal life, and participate in everyday activities.

Purpose: This review aims to explore the influences of tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) on patients with tinnitus.
Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PEDro, SCOPUS, and Web of Science were screened for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that explored the effects of TRT on patients with tinnitus from inception to June 30, 2024. The methodological quality of the included RCTs was evaluated using the physiotherapy evidence database (PEDro) scale.

Objective: Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) is a rehabilitation approach for tinnitus that is currently considered an effective treatment with an elevated response rate. TRT is usually delivered through sound generators; however, they are often difficult to find and expensive. Recently, mobile apps have been proposed for TRT.
