Sound Retraining Therapy (SRT) is a treatment method primarily aimed at alleviating tinnitus, involving education about the condition, sound therapy using external sounds to mask or reduce perception of tinnitus, counseling to address emotional and psychological responses, and fostering habituation to the tinnitus sound, ultimately aiming for reduced distress and improved quality of life. The effectiveness of SRT can vary, and it often requires ongoing commitment and support from healthcare professionals to achieve positive outcomes.
