Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the medical term to describe noises heard either in one ear, both ears or in the head. The sounds heard can vary from person to person, but the common link is that they don’t have an external source:
More than five million people in the UK have tinnitus. It is not a disease or an illness; in most cases, it’s a symptom of a problem within the hearing system.

For many people the symptoms of Tinnitus can be improved by treating the underlying cause or with treatments that reduce or mask the noise.

Depending on the results of your hearing evaluation your audiologost may recommend one of the following types of Tinnitus treatment:

• Hearing aids – If you have some form of hearing loss as well as tinnitus hearing aids can often provide effective relief from your Tinnitus symptoms whilst you are wearing them. Many of today’s hearing devices include Tinnitus therepy solutions.
• Tinnitus masking or noise suppression devices. During your assessment your audiologist will use the pitch matching and loudness matching tests to set the signal at a level and pitch similar to the Tinnitus you are perceiving.
• Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) uses cognitive behavioral therepy in combination with a masking device to help you learn to ignore the background ringing noise in your ears.
• A free-standing white noise generating machine. The symptoms of Tinnitus are generally worse when you’re in a quiet environment, so being able to relax and mask the noise in a room using background sound might be beneficial.

Was really good to have a trial set of aids to discover if they would help with my tinnitus. I felt I had great explanations and could select the aids and support which suited me. Would really recommend The Hearing Clinic.

Went for ear Microsuction to cure a tinnitus problem. On inspection, I was advised I didn’t need the procedure but I was given a half-price hearing test instead which explained the tinnitus problem and saved me some cash on an unnecessary treatment. The whole experience was deftly, honestly and professionally handled.
