Tinnitus is a common issue, especially among older adults, and affects many people in Japan. In 2019, Japan released its first guidelines to support better care, focusing on counseling, sound therapy, medication, and psychological support. Most treatment is provided by ENT doctors, with care tailored to each person. This proposal will introduce how tinnitus is managed in Japan and how a combination of medical and supportive approaches helps improve quality of life.
