What is tinnitus?

What’s The Buzz?

It's not uncommon for people to suffer from tinnitus, a disorder characterized by constant ringing, rushing, or buzzing in the ears. Tinnitus is not the same as actual hearing loss, but it can make it challenging to go about your day. Our experts might suggest one solution to this ongoing issue. Each patient has a unique reaction to treatment, and we hope we can work together to alleviate your symptoms.

What are the benefits of tinnitus management?

Knowing is the First Step

The key to treating tinnitus is to understand what is causing it. One of the most significant benefits, aside from getting rid of the annoying ringing and buzzing in your ears, is to diagnose and treat underlying health issues that may be causing tinnitus. The Hearing Center treats the patient, not the symptom. We want to examine every possible cause to be sure we understand how to get the best results most efficiently.

Am I a good candidate for tinnitus management?

Ready to Improve

Tinnitus, a symptom of various types of hearing loss, affects an estimated 25 million Americans. (It may be a sign that something else is wrong with your body.) Most individuals who experience tinnitus also suffer from some degree of hearing loss. Excessive exposure to noise, especially at high decibel levels, can result in irreversible hearing loss and tinnitus. A worsening of tinnitus and hearing loss may occur if exposure is prolonged. More than 200 medications are known to trigger tinnitus symptoms. Some more common causes of tinnitus may include allergies, tumors, or issues with the heart, blood vessels, jaw, or neck. Contact The Hearing Center about the possibility that one of these conditions is causing your tinnitus.

Your Tinnitus Management Procedure

A Solution As Unique As You Are

Tinnitus can't be eliminated entirely. Still, there are ways to make it more bearable until a permanent solution can be found. Because tinnitus is often a symptom of another health issue, finding the source might result in surgical or medicinal treatment for the underlying cause. Once the cause of pulsatile tinnitus is determined, the likelihood of a successful treatment is high. Unfortunately, in some situations, the root cause of tinnitus is unknown, and thus, no effective therapy exists.

Additional Reading

However, there are a variety of methods that may be used to control symptoms effectively.  Sound Therapy is the use of masking sounds to alleviate the effects of tinnitus. In other words, it serves as a mental diversion that allows you to "tune out" the ear noise. You can use white noise-generating electronics like air conditioners, fans, gentle music, etc. to desensitize the brain to the sounds of tinnitus.

Tinnitus brought on by an acoustic neuroma may be alleviated with surgical excision of the tumor. Neuroplastic alterations in the brain due to hearing loss are maladaptive. Hearing aids help restore communication between the ear and the brain. Counseling, getting enough sleep, and using cognitive behavioral or relaxation techniques can all help manage the tension, worry, and lack of sleep that typically accompany tinnitus. The Hearing Center clinics in Novi and Brighton provide lessons on how to deal with tinnitus.
