The most common cause of Tinnitus is from pro-longed loud noise exposure. Loud noises cause permanent damage to the sound sensitive cells of the ear. Whether it be from working in a loud facility or with loud equipment or from one exposure to loud noise, you can suffer from tinnitus.
Other causes may be:

At NIb3, we work with you on an individual level to determine what the cause is and what the best treatment program is for you!
We developed a ground-breaking program to address this increasingly common disorder.
Our model proposes that the brain is forming a memory-like process in its auditory map sites, in a way that a constant noise from the environment is translated to neural firing patterns and imprinted on specific sites in the Neuro-Auditory system.
In other words, the brain continues to perceive a sound that is no longer there.
This can happen from a concussion, exposure to loud noise, drug abuse, an asymmetrical activity of both sides of the brain (unilateral Tinnitus), or from an emotional trauma combined with chronic stress.
At NIb3, we have developed a sophisticated approach which involves measuring neuro-physiological activities, reflexogenic responses, and auditory perception. We normalize these activities by balancing neural responses and re-mapping auditory perception.
Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus is the perception of auditory sounds such as ringing, buzzing, or hissing without any external source. The sensation can be unilateral or bilateral, occur intermittently or on a constant basis, and range in intensity of volume.
It is estimated that more than 360,000 Canadians suffer from Tinnitus (Hearing Foundation of Canada, 2018). Tinnitus most commonly develops due to a trauma causing a cochlear lesion such as prolonged exposure to loud noises, sudden hearing loss, or ototoxic medications. These lead to impairments of the neural auditory pathways and cause neuroplastic changes to brain regions involved in emotion, attention, memory, perception, and salience functions (Langguth, B., Kreuzer, P. M., Kleinjung, T., & De Ridder, D, 2013).
Tinnitus treatments in Toronto commonly involve medications such as tricyclic anti-depressants or lidocaine, the use of white noise machines, cochlear implants, and/or hearing aids (Langguth et al, 2013). These methods rarely resolve the Tinnitus symptoms. Neurofeedback is a method of retraining brain activity in the dysfunctional regions and networks involved in Tinnitus perception to a more normalized state. Tinnitus treatment in Toronto at NIb3 specializes in non-invasive therapies such as neurofeedback, auriculotherapy, sound therapy, and brain stem stimulation techniques.
I was initially reluctant to try biofeedback. After trying a few rounds of traditional therapy with very little improvement I was referred to NIb3. My situation was somewhat experimental and uncharted water for myself. I was impressed by the amount of time was invested learning about my condition and developing a targeted training plan. The team concern and eagerness to find a solution were genuine and obvious.

Dina is a dedicated Kinesiologist at the b3 Neurological Institute, applying a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach to neurological rehabilitation. With a specialized academic background in Kinesiology, she brings a strong foundation in human movement science and a deep commitment to helping individuals improve their functional abilities and overall quality of life.
Her clinical practice integrates a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including neurofeedback, biofeedback, vestibular rehabilitation strategies, and somatosensory integration techniques. This multifaceted approach allows her to tailor care plans that address the unique needs of each individual, supporting recovery in a way that is both effective and empowering.
Dina’s path into healthcare was shaped by personal experience. An active childhood and early exposure to sports-related injuries led to a firsthand understanding of physical pain and recovery. Over time, this evolved into a strong interest in alternative and movement-based rehabilitation strategies, especially those that connect physical with neurological function. That journey sparked a lifelong passion for exploring how the brain and body work together in the healing process.
Today, Dina’s work is guided by empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for the individuals she serves. She is continually inspired by the resilience of her clients and is especially passionate about helping them reconnect with their bodies through movement. Her goal is to support meaningful, lasting improvements in both physical function and overall well-being.
I am a Registered Nurse (RN) at b3 Neurological Institute and I started working here in September of 2017. Working at b3 has completely re-shaped and changed the way I view health, wellness, and the medical field. Every day that I come to the clinic, I get to witness something incredible—the brain’s ability to change, adapt, and recover—and it never stops inspiring me.
My passion for neuroscience comes from a deep curiosity about how the brain and nervous system works, but more importantly, from seeing how life-changing this work can be for real people. At our clinic, we offer advanced therapies like neurofeedback, biofeedback, vestibular rehabilitation, sensory-motor integration training, and much more. I am part of both providing direct care to clients, as well as training and managing our clinical team members.
To be a part of an organization that is changing the future of neurological health, is not something I take for granted. This clinic truly is a special place and I am proud to show up to work here every day. If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing, I’d be grateful to be a part of your journey.
