Individuals enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid), Public Employees Benefits Board, and School Employees Benefits Board coverage - and those accessing behavioral health services - will not experience a disruption in care due to the federal government shutdown. In addition, health care providers will continue to be paid for the services they provide. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and share updates if anything changes.
Tinnitus, the conscious perception of sound in the absence of an external source, is a common medical symptom (not a disease). Nonpharmacologic, noninvasive treatments of tinnitus include sound therapies that mask the tinnitus sounds, neuromodulation techniques that may habituate the patient to the tinnitus sounds, or psychological and behavioral therapies that help the patient cope with or reduce the distress from tinnitus.
Status: Decision completed
There are a variety of potential nondrug treatments for the condition, but the long and short-term effectiveness of these treatments is not certain. Treatments to be considered include tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), tinnitus feedback therapy (TFT), and other combinations of noise-masking and cognitive therapy. This topic is proposed based on concerns related to the safety, efficacy, and value of the test.
