Tinnitus Management

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ears or head without any external source. It affects millions of people and can significantly impact quality of life, leading to stress, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. At HHB Speech and Hearing Clinic, we offer comprehensive and personalized tinnitus management programs aimed at reducing the severity and impact of tinnitus symptoms. The first step in management is a thorough audiological evaluation, including hearing tests, tinnitus pitch and loudness matching, and a detailed case history to identify potential causes such as hearing loss, noise exposure, ear infections, or underlying medical conditions. Based on the assessment, our expert audiologists may recommend a combination of strategies tailored to individual needs. These may include sound therapy using hearing aids or noise generators, tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), relaxation techniques, and lifestyle counseling. For individuals with hearing loss, amplification through hearing aids can significantly reduce the perception of tinnitus. We also provide education on coping strategies and stress reduction, as emotional well-being plays a crucial role in managing tinnitus. In complex cases, referrals to ENT specialists or neurologists may be arranged for further evaluation. HHB emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring that patients feel supported throughout their journey. With the right combination of therapies and consistent follow-up, many individuals experience significant relief. At HHB Speech and Hearing Clinic, our goal is to help patients regain control over their lives by effectively managing tinnitus and improving overall auditory health.
