Tinnitus Treatment

Relief From Ringing and Buzzing in the Ears

If you hear a ringing, buzzing, hissing, or whooshing sound that no one else notices, you may be experiencing tinnitus. For some people, it’s a mild distraction. For others, it can interfere with sleep, focus, and quality of life. At Hearing Care Partners, we understand how frustrating tinnitus can be – and we’re here to help you find relief.

What is tinnitus?

Tinnitus is not a disease itself, but a symptom often linked to other conditions such as hearing loss, noise exposure, or ear injury. It affects millions of people and can present in many ways: constant or occasional, loud or soft, in one ear or both. While there is no definitive cure, effective management strategies can significantly reduce its impact.

How We Evaluate Tinnitus

During our initial evaluation process, we assess your hearing and your experience with tinnitus. This may include:

A comprehensive hearing test to check for related hearing loss
Tinnitus matching tests to measure the pitch and volume of the sound you hear
A review of your medical history to identify possible causes or contributing factors

By understanding the specifics of your tinnitus, we can recommend the right treatment path for you.

Treatment Options for Tinnitus

Depending on your needs, we may suggest one or more of the following:

Hearing Aids

Amplifying external sounds often reduces the perception of tinnitus. Many modern hearing aids include built-in tinnitus relief features such as soothing tones or white noise.

Sound Generators

Masking devices or apps, including wearable and tabletop sound generators, can create calming background noise, making tinnitus less noticeable.

Counseling and Education

From relaxation techniques to evidence-based options like cognitive behavioral therapy (which can help change how you respond to tinnitus) and tinnitus retraining therapy (which can “train” your brain to filter out tinnitus over time).

Acoustic Neural Stimulation

A form of therapy that embeds a broadband acoustic signal in music to stimulate and retrain neural pathways in the brain, ultimately aiming to reduce sensitivity to tinnitus over time.

Cochlear Implants

In cases where tinnitus is accompanied by profound hearing loss, a cochlear implant can directly stimulate the auditory nerve to restore access to outside sounds and help mask tinnitus.

Medications

Antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs might be prescribed by your doctor to improve your mood and help you sleep.

Don’t let tinnitus keep you from enjoying life. At Hearing Care Partners, we’ll work with you to find a solution that fits your needs and lifestyle.
