Symptoms of Tinnitus
Tinnitus can manifest as ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking, or other phantom sounds that you hear in the absence of external noises. These sounds may be intermittent or constant and can affect one or both ears. Additionally, tinnitus may vary in pitch, volume, and perception. The intensity of the sounds may also interfere with daily activities, sleep, and concentration.
Causes of Tinnitus
There are numerous causes of tinnitus, which can range from underlying medical conditions to exposure to loud noise. Hearing loss, ear infections, certain medications, injuries, high stress levels, and even impacted earwax can all contribute to the development of tinnitus.

Our approach to tinnitus management starts with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the type and possible causes of tinnitus. Then we’ll develop a personalized management plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Hearing Tests
Thorough hearing assessments can help identify any underlying hearing loss. Tinnitus can often be associated with hearing loss. We conduct thorough hearing tests to identify any hearing issues, as treating these conditions can often lead to an improvement in tinnitus symptoms.
Hearing Aids
Hearing aids can alleviate tinnitus through built-in tinnitus management features. These settings often include sound therapy, which introduces soothing background sounds or tones that can effectively mask the tinnitus noise. The amplification of external environmental sounds also helps to reduce the contrast between background sound and the internal ringing, making the tinnitus less perceptible.
