Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a common auditory condition characterized by the perception of noise in the ears or head when no external sound source is present. At Sawyer Audiology, we aim to shed light on tinnitus, its evaluation, and effective management strategies to help you find relief and regain your peace of mind.
What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is often described as a ringing, buzzing, hissing, or whooshing sound that can be heard in one or both ears. While it is not a condition itself, tinnitus is a symptom of an underlying issue, such as age-related hearing loss, exposure to loud noises, earwax blockage, or various medical conditions. It can be temporary or chronic, and its intensity can vary from person to person.
Evaluations for Tinnitus
To effectively manage tinnitus, it's crucial to identify its underlying cause and assess its impact on your hearing and overall well-being. Our comprehensive tinnitus evaluations at Sawyer Audiology include:
A thorough hearing test helps determine if hearing loss is contributing to your tinnitus.
Tinnitus Management Solutions
Our experienced Audiologists are committed to helping you manage your tinnitus effectively. We offer a range of evidence-based solutions tailored to your unique needs and preferences:
Tinnitus Counseling
Understanding your tinnitus is the first step towards managing it. Our counseling services provide education and coping strategies to help you gain control over your symptoms.
Sound Therapy
Sound therapy involves using external sounds, such as white noise or nature sounds, to mask or distract from the tinnitus perception, providing relief and reducing its impact.
Hearing Aids
If hearing loss is a contributing factor, hearing aids can be programmed to not only enhance your hearing, but also provide tinnitus relief through sound enrichment.
Lifestyle and Stress Management:
Stress can exacerbate tinnitus symptoms. Learning stress-reduction techniques and adopting a healthy lifestyle can improve your tinnitus management.
