Tinnitus – Ringing or Buzzing in the Ears

Often referred to as “ringing in the ears”, tinnitus is a medical term for the perception of sound in one or both ears when no external sound can be detected by others. Some people who suffer from tinnitus hear hissing, roaring, whistling, chirping, or clicking rather than ringing. Tinnitus can be intermittent or constant with single or multiple tones, and its perceived volume can range from subtle to intense.

In many cases, the cause of tinnitus cannot be determined. There are many potential catalysts that are known to trigger or worsen tinnitus:

accumulation of earwax
exposure to loud sounds
head or neck injuries
problems with blood circulation
jaw misalignment
ear or sinus infections certain types of tumors
cardiovascular disease
certain medications

The majority of people who suffer from tinnitus also have hearing loss.

While there are no cures, there are treatments to help you manage tinnitus symptoms.

Sound generators create a type of “white noise” sound that distracts your brain from the ringing or buzzing sounds, which can reduce their intensity.

There are also Apps for your Smartphone that can provide different sounds.

Some specialized hearing instruments are designed with features that help to provide relief from tinnitus.

The staff at Professional Audiology is grateful and humbled to win first place for the Best Hearing Aid Center for the fifth consecutive year.

For several years I was always straining to hear, and even so, frequently missed what was being said. I avoided joining groups of people as there was no hope of understanding. Now I just relax and can really enjoy life again. The aids are easy to use and no bother to wear. Yes, they were expensive, but absolutely worth it. I had tried less costly ones by mail but they were useless. These are set to my prescription and worked from the start. Also – very important – the ongoing checks and care by Professional Audiology give me complete confidence. As I told Erica, in case of fire I would save my hearing aids second, after my pets, of course!

My experience with Dana Fiske and all the employees at Professional Audiology has been superb! All are very well knowledged and most important very caring. Their adherence to schedules are always prompt. I have walked in the office and had my hearing aids cleaned without notice. Very professional organization. I have been a patient for over 10 years.

Professional Audiology took me from an apprehensive state of mind concerning my moderate hearing loss to a peaceful and confident state of mind. The Audiologist was wonderful in explaining all my options and answering my questions. My Resound Linx hearing aids are easy to use and I love them! Thank You!

My new Resound hearing aids are very comfortable and my husband really appreciates them as much as I do.

It should be an easy sale to sell a TV streamer with every hearing aid. I thought I could hear every word with just the aid but I didn’t. Testing with and then without the streamer is like day and night. I hear everything especially difficult context like Walking Dead and Sherlock. Accents used to be difficult but are now a breeze.
