Welcome to the Oregon Tinnitus & Hyperacusis
Treatment Center
Our professional staff and clinic serves the needs of people who suffer from chronic tinnitus ( a sensation of sound that is heard inside the head, i.e. a high pitched ringing that is purely subjective ) and hyperacusis (unusual intolerance to every day sounds). We offer a complex evaluation for a variety of auditory system defects and disorders, and are adding new techniques, particularly testing for hyperacusis.
The clinical director, Dr. Marsha Johnson, practices state-of-the-art treatment for these troublesome conditions. Clinic Treatments include Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) developed by Dr. Pawel Jastreboff, Director of the University of Maryland Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Clinic.
She has been a member of Dr. Jastreboff's Tinnitus Retraining Therapy Association (TRTA) since 1997, is on the referral list from the American Tinnitus Association, and the Vestibular & Equilibrium Disorders Association.
The newest Treatment for Tinnitus is Neuromonics, and we are proud to offer this innovative, music-based therapy at our clinic beginning in October 2006. Please visit the Neuromonics Website at www.neuromonics.com for more information about this unique approach for tinnitus treatment.
We currently admit patients to the clinic from all over the globe! Our successful clinic program offers the latest and newest treatment for tinnitus and hyperacusis and is one of only a small handful of full time tinnitus & hyperacusis clinics in the world.

SoothEars is a new creation of Dr. Marsha Johnson and is designed to help provide comfort and relief for those who suffer from tinnitus or hyperacusis or both. Actual recordings of pleasant natural sounds have been enhanced through sophisticated digital manipulation to create specific "sound families" that are particularly effective.
SoothEars is designed to be used as an additional comfort option for those who suffer from tinnitus and hypercusis. It is not part of a clinical therapy program. It is easy to listen to the samples and select the programs that best suit your needs. Downloading and purchasing is very simple as well, and saving the file to your own computer for your own use is advised. The file can be transferred into a personal listener like an iPod or MP3 player as desired.
