Effective tinnitus relief can be achieved in a large percentage of patients using appropriately selected wearable devices that provide masking of the tinnitus. Guidelines are presented for selecting between three types of devices for that purpose: (1) tinnitus maskers; (2) hearing aids; and (3) tinnitus instruments (units that combine hearing aid and masker in the same case). For patients whose tinnitus cannot be masked, oral administration of alprazolam may be an effective alternative, which should be done with the knowledge and cooperation of the patient's primary care physician. Dosages and guidelines for administering alprazolam are presented.
使用适当选择的可穿戴设备对耳鸣进行掩蔽，可使很大一部分患者有效缓解耳鸣。本文给出了为此目的在三种类型设备之间进行选择的指南：（1）耳鸣掩蔽器；（2）助听器；（3）耳鸣仪器（在同一外壳中结合了助听器和掩蔽器的装置）。对于耳鸣无法被掩蔽的患者，口服阿普唑仑可能是一种有效的替代方法，这应在患者初级保健医生的了解和配合下进行。文中给出了阿普唑仑的给药剂量和指南。
