Dilemma: White Noise Generators (WNGs) vs. Acoustic Coordinated Reset Neuromodulation (ACRN)?

Looking at my options for treatment, either way it's going to cost me a fortune.

Need to get a hearing test done and fix that if anything is lost, although I haven't noticed anything.

1.) Buy a WNG - this will help me mask the noise, learn to habituate, and decrease the associated anxiety I have with it. I know what I'm getting.

2.) Buy ACRN therapy - if I'm suitable, I'll go down this path to see if I can reduce the volume of my tinnitus to a more manageable noise. More expensive, no guarantee it will work, although in the assessment they say if you are deemed suitable there is a very good chance it will work for you.

HELP!?

 

You can try ACRN at home

Yeah I have been referred but I know it's going to take months before I see an ENT. And then you hear them robbing you off with learn to live with it or buy a masking machine.

 

Ask your GP to send you to the audiology department (they have T clinics in one form or another) bypassing the ENT and they can give you maskers there and then for free. Got them on my first visit. The audiologists are helpful.

 

Will try that thanks Candy
