subject: How Much Is Natural Remedies For Tinnitus Ignorance Costing You? [print this page] Tinnitus laser treatment is one of several ways by which ear ringing (tinnitus) can be treated. In more recent times, more and more professionals have begun to accept low level laser therapy (LLLT) for the treatment of tinnitus. There are conflicting reports regarding this treatment though, which suggest that it doesn't help at all.
The United States National Institutes of Health maintain that there aren't yet any confirmed benefits to it. In addition, the Tinnitus Laser Center in Sweden and also found it to be not entirely successful. Indications though point to the fact that tinnitus and some other conditions of the inner ear may yield to it. Following the fact that a number of clinical trials have yielded success, more research is ongoing on the therapy.
Tinnitus laser treatment works on the grounds that the ear could be treated to a specific light radiation frequency with a laser. Based on LLLT theory, heat from laser light radiation could help heal the cochlea. The radiation is believed to be housed in the red to infrared light spectrum. Directing it at the ear is thought to be able to regenerate its cells. So if the ear cells have been damaged in some way, through excessive levels of noise, infections and illness through drug medication, sinus problems or Meniere's disease, the laser can actively help to heal the ear.
A probe from the system is positioned close to the external auditory canal to direct the laser at the eardrum. A wearable ear hook is often used to hold the laser and help the patient be more comfortable while the treatment is ongoing. The patient would have to undergo LLLT every day, toned down to match the exact degree of the injury.
It is an unfortunate situation that the available literature on tinnitus laser treatments is scarce and ambiguous. It is practically impossible to produce hard appraisal of this because of lack of standardized treatment procedure, pulsing, dosage, or wavelength. However, the positive results reported in some studies do merit attention and further research. Judging from a number of fresh studies, it might just be possible to get better results if the doses given to the patient are largely increased.
