Diagnosing tinnitus
Tinnitus can have various causes, such as prolonged exposure to loud noises, a buildup of ear wax, age-related hearing loss, or underlying conditions affecting the auditory system.
At Joseph Hayes, our audiologists conduct a detailed evaluation to help identify the source of your symptoms. This includes a thorough discussion of your experience, a full hearing assessment, and an examination of your ears. Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in managing tinnitus, as identifying the cause promptly can lead to more effective treatment.
Treatment for tinnitus
While there is currently no cure for tinnitus, there are several effective ways to manage the condition and reduce its impact. Treatment options will vary depending on the individual and the severity of their symptoms.
For many, sound therapy can be helpful, using background noise to reduce the contrast between tinnitus and silence, making the symptoms less noticeable. If hearing loss is also present, hearing aids can play a key role in easing tinnitus by improving overall hearing and reducing the brain’s focus on the internal sounds.
