Tinnitus management works! There’s no reason to endure this annoying sound effect. Talk to us and put an end to the ringing in your ears.
The first step is to call us and schedule a visit with one of our audiologists. A careful history and audiometric testing will determine the most likely causes and best treatment for your tinnitus.
There may be other medical issues behind the tinnitus. It’s important to rule out anything else that may affect your overall health. You may be referred to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor to complete the diagnosis.
Avoid anything that can increase the ringing in your ears, such as smoking, alcohol and loud noise. If you’re a construction worker, an airport worker, a hunter or if you’re regularly exposed to loud noise at home or at work, wear ear plugs or special earmuffs to protect your hearing.
If it’s hard for you to hear over your tinnitus, face your friends and family when they talk. Seeing their expressions may help you understand them better. Ask people to speak louder but not shout. Also, tell them they don’t have to talk slowly, just more clearly.
