Discover QNAS, an innovative tinnitus management technique designed to assess, alleviate, and manage tinnitus effectively. At TinnitusCare Clinics, we are proud to report that 90% of patients experience a significant reduction in tinnitus sounds during their first consultation. While tinnitus may return, this initial relief demonstrates that tinnitus can be managed and quietness is possible.
QNAS offers personalized daily exercises that empower patients to manage and reduce tinnitus sounds independently. It is effective for individuals with both normal hearing and hearing loss, including those with severe tinnitus, unilateral hearing loss, or those using cochlear implants.
Our approach combines established tinnitus therapies such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) and Widex Zen Tinnitus Therapy, enhanced with proprietary insights developed over five years of research and 15+ years of clinical experience. QNAS has transformed tinnitus care, offering long-lasting relief for those suffering from this challenging condition.
Explore how QNAS can help you achieve lasting relief from tinnitus and bring quietness into your life.
We thoroughly evaluate the patient’s tinnitus, medical history, and auditory health, offering a comprehensive understanding of their condition.
We explain tinnitus mechanisms clearly, empowering patients with insights and hands-on experience of symptom reduction to boost confidence.
We provide a personalized treatment plan, utilizing sound stimulation devices to effectively reduce or eliminate tinnitus symptoms for patients.
At QNAS, we begin with a 90-minute initial consultation, which includes a detailed review of your medical history with a focus on auditory health. We conduct a thorough tinnitus assessment and provide an overview of audiological testing to better understand your specific condition. This is followed by a pure-tone audiometry test, which helps us identify any patterns of hearing loss that may be linked to your tinnitus. Based on the findings, we may recommend the use of calibrated sound generators or hearing aids, which provide immediate relief for most patients. Many notice a reduction in symptoms, and in some cases, tinnitus sounds cease entirely once the devices are activated.
A cornerstone of the QNAS approach is the Widex Zen Tinnitus Program (WZT), a highly effective treatment method that has been continuously refined since 2009. Widex’s GPS Compass software ensures optimal results, providing superior relief compared to other methods.
While QNAS stands for Quietness via Neuro Auditory Stimulation, it also reflects “Quietness through Narrative, Analogy, and Soundscapes.” This emphasizes the role of knowledge and understanding in tinnitus management. Tinnitus is complex and multidisciplinary, with each profession—neurology, ENT, and audiology—bringing unique insights that can be challenging to communicate. The QNAS method translates these intricate neurological and sensory processes into clear, engaging stories and analogies, enabling patients to understand and manage their tinnitus effectively.
The acronym QNAS also carries a connection to the Irish word “ciúnas,” meaning calmness, stillness, and quiet. In Irish, the phrase “Tá an saol mór faoi chiúnas” translates to “all the world is hushed,” or literally, “greater life is covered in quietness.” This is the essence of QNAS—to foster peace and quietness in life.
