Additional Support for
Tinnitus & Sound Sensitivity

We recognize that some patients need additional support beyond hearing technology alone. For these patients, we may recommend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based strategies, sound therapy, tinnitus retraining approaches, and auditory rehabilitation techniques.

Dr. Sharpe has completed advanced training in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) through coursework developed by Pawel Jastreboff, whose neurophysiological model helped shape modern tinnitus and hyperacusis treatment approaches.

Support may be provided in person, virtually, or through structured digital programs such as OTO or LACE AI Pro.

These programs combine counseling strategies, sound therapy, relaxation techniques, and auditory training exercises designed to help reduce the brain’s negative response to tinnitus. Over time, many patients experience habituation, meaning the tinnitus becomes less noticeable, less distressing, and less disruptive to daily life.

Our goal is not simply to “mask” tinnitus, but to help patients improve sound tolerance, reduce listening stress, and regain confidence in communication and everyday environments.
