How Do You Manage Tinnitus?
Carefully reviewing your medical history and audiometric testing results will help determine the best way to manage your tinnitus. Strategies may include:
Removing earwax: Many of our patients are surprised to learn how common it is for earwax (cerumen) build-up to be the cause of their tinnitus. We carefully remove earwax to restore your hearing.
Referring you to a medical doctor: If we determine that an underlying medical issue is likely causing your tinnitus, our hearing specialist will give you a referral to a physician who can help.
Hearing aids: In addition to enhancing hearing, hearing aids with a tinnitus masker feature allows you to choose a sound to drown out the sound of tinnitus. Hearing aids often provide relief for tinnitus.
Alternative treatments: There’s no evidence that homeopathy, acupuncture or herbal remedies like ginkgo biloba are effective. But mindfulness meditation may help reduce stress and help you learn to refocus your attention away from irritating tinnitus sounds.
Maskers: Similar to hearing aids, these devices are worn in the ear and produce a low-level white noise to mask the tinnitus. They can be adjusted to the specific frequencies causing your tinnitus. They usually provide some level of relief.
