Do you experience a ringing in your ears? If so, you are not alone. Tinnitus affects an estimated 50 million Americans\u2014about 20 percent of the population. It can range from a mild annoyance to a full-fledged problem that severely impacts your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no universal cure for tinnitus, but there are\ntreatments that can provide relief for those who find it distracting or\nbothersome. Because tinnitus is a symptom of an underlying condition,\nidentifying the problem may lead to a medical or surgical solution. The cure\nrates for pulsatile tinnitus are quite high once the problem has been\nidentified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-pulsatile tinnitus is usually accompanied by some degree of\nhearing loss. In the majority of cases, treatment of the underlying hearing\nloss will provide some degree of relief from tinnitus. Below are the most\ncommon therapies for tinnitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acoustic Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sounds are used to cover up, or mask, the tinnitus. This distracts your brain and helps you tune out the ringing in your ears. Electronic devices that produce white noise, air conditioners, fans, soft music, etc. can all be employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing\naids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a strong correlation between tinnitus and hearing loss.\nWhen the pattern of auditory nerve stimulation by the ear changes due to\nhearing loss, the brain may adapt by perceiving tinnitus. Hearing aids can\nrestore a regular pattern of nerve stimulation, which will often suppress the\ntinnitus, and can vastly improve speech intelligibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing aids can also help the patient better distinguish one\nsound from another, improving communication and helping with focus and\nconcentration difficulties. Most modern hearing aids can also self-generate noise\nto mask tinnitus if amplification of ambient noise alone does not suppress the tinnitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steroid\nInjections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meniere\u2019s disease (also known as\nendolympatic hydrops) has a triad of symptoms (hearing loss, tinnitus and\nvertigo) that fluctuate due to increased fluid pressures in the ear organs.\nFluctuation of hearing and resulting tinnitus can be treated with a series of\ninjections of Dexamethasone (a potent steroid) with an 85 percent chance of\nreduction in tinnitus symptoms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tinnitus is very rarely treated with surgery. A comprehensive\naudiological and medical evaluation would be required to identify those few\npatients who are suitable candidates for surgical intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Counseling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Counseling, sleep and cognitive\nbehavioral or relaxation methods can be practical in helping you manage your\ntinnitus symptoms by reducing the stress, anxiety and sleeplessness that are\noften associated with tinnitus. Advanced Hearing Hawaii providers\nteach methods to help you manage your tinnitus symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n
