Tinnitus
If you’re experiencing a buzzing, ringing, or whooshing sound in your ears, then you may have tinnitus. This can be caused by excessive exposure to noise, stress, or a combination of other factors. Tinnitus is not a disease, but rather a symptom and can range from mildly annoying to debilitating.
In most cases, some degree of hearing loss is present when tinnitus is consistent. Fortunately, we carry hearing aids that can treat both aspects of your hearing loss and tinnitus. While improving your hearing range, our hearing aids can also soothe and relieve your symptoms of tinnitus, giving you clarity and relief at the same time. If you are experiencing symptoms of tinnitus but don’t have any type of hearing loss present, then we will come up with a tinnitus management program to help you. We work with a local neurology group so together we can relieve the ringing in your ears.
