The Benefits of A Professional’s Care for Tinnitus

Have you ever heard a noise in your head or ears that doesn’t exist externally? Then you’re not a stranger to the phantom sounds of tinnitus. Everyone hears tinnitus differently. The sounds of tinnitus can vary greatly in pitch, volume, and consistency. To successfully manage tinnitus, it’s important to visit a hearing professional who understands how to help you.

What Causes Tinnitus?

Tinnitus itself is not a hearing disorder, but rather a symptom of another problem or health concern. Some common conditions that cause tinnitus are:

  • Earwax build-up
  • Loud noise exposure
  • Ear infections
  • Certain medications
  • Anxiety or excessive stress
  • Circulatory disorders
  • Head injuries
  • Hearing loss

For successful management of tinnitus, it is important to first determine what caused your ringing in the ears. Once the condition itself is treated, individuals typically see a reduction in their symptoms.

Tinnitus Treatment

While there is no cure for tinnitus, there are management options that can help. Many people who have tinnitus have hearing loss as well. In these cases, a hearing aid could help. There are hearing aids that have a tinnitus masking feature that can help alleviate the perception of tinnitus. With these devices, you can download an app on your smartphone and choose from a collection of soundscapes to play through your hearing aids.

Tinnitus masking hearing aids can greatly help those who suffer from persistent tinnitus. Although these devices won’t stop ringing in the ears completely, they can greatly help you experience relief.
