What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is when you hear noises like ringing, humming, or buzzing in your ears without any external sound source. Around 250 million Americans experience this. The noise can be constant or come and go.
What Can Cause Tinnitus?
Tinnitus can be caused by many factors. It is often linked to exposure to loud noises, which can damage the inner ear’s sensory cells. Other causes include ear infections, aging, stress, excess ear wax, high blood pressure, and sensory nerve disorders. Lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking alcohol or caffeine, and taking too much aspirin or antibiotics can make tinnitus worse. Explore how different people experience tinnitus.
How Can I Manage My Tinnitus?
If you’re dealing with tinnitus, start with a professional evaluation by your doctor or a hearing specialist. Counseling from a hearing healthcare professional trained in tinnitus management can greatly enhance your life quality. Often, the best management combines counseling with sound stimulation.
Many people with tinnitus also suffer from hearing loss. Hearing aids amplify daily sounds—like music, conversations, and environmental noises—which can help reduce the perception of tinnitus. The first step to managing tinnitus effectively is getting a hearing evaluation. Learn more about tinnitus relief tips.
Recommended Solution
First and foremost we always make it clear that there is no cure for tinnitus. As much as we would like to help we find that applying a tinnitus treatment to an individual that does not have hearing loss is marginally successful. If a person has hearing loss, then we find the rate of success increases. With that being said we love working with Widex hearing instruments because of their Zen Therapy Process.
Widex Zen Therapy was first introduced by Widex in 2012. Since its initial introduction, the method has been widely accepted as a comprehensive and professional way of managing tinnitus. Widex Zen Therapy (WZT) provides systematic guidelines for tinnitus management by hearing care professionals, often using Widex hearing aids equipped with Zen technology.
