If you are experiencing ringing in your ears, you are experiencing tinnitus which is the perception of sound in one or both ears when no external sound is present. Tinnitus may sound like buzzing, ringing, chirping, roaring and hissing. This is a condition that affects millions of people and, for some, limits their ability to function normally daily. Causes of tinnitus can include exposure to noise, excessive earwax in the ear canal, ear infections, and medications. Often, tinnitus is a symptom of hearing loss.
Our audiologists can help you find solutions for your tinnitus. We will work with you to assess how tinnitus affects your daily function and make any medical referrals necessary to determine any underlying causes of the tinnitus. Treatments for tinnitus can vary and may include a change in medication, lifestyle, or sound retraining therapy.
