People often describe it as ringing in the ears, but it can also sound like buzzing, pulsing, whistling, or roaring.
For most people it is non-bothersome, however for some it can be a source of distress and interfere with daily activities such as sleep. In some cases, it can be linked to an underlying health issue, so it’s important to consult a clinician for proper evaluation.
Most of the time, the cause of tinnitus cannot be pinpointed, but it is believed to be related to a malfunction in the auditory system. The auditory system includes not only the ears but also parts of the brain involved in memory and emotion.
While there’s no one-size-fits-all cure for tinnitus, there are various strategies to manage tinnitus in order to reduce tinnitus awareness and related distress. These include use of hearing aids to address underlying hearing loss, as well as therapies like Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), Sound Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Feel free to contact the clinic to arrange a full diagnostic hearing assessment with one of our audiologists.
