12 Facts About Tinnitus
No one knows the exact cause of tinnitus.
Tinnitus is a neurological disorder that causes your brain to interpret a sound that isn’t actually there.
Tinnitus is a symptom rather than a disease.
Tinnitus disrupts normal daily life.
There are two types of tinnitus: subjective, in which only the person experiencing it can hear the sound, and objective, in which the person experiencing it as well as others can hear the sound.
The sound heard by those with tinnitus can be ringing, buzzing, or hissing, and it can be continuous or pulsatile.
Men experience tinnitus more often than women.
Ninety percent of people with tinnitus have some level of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).
Hearing aids can often provide relief from the internal sensation of tinnitus.
Dietary changes and supplements ALONE cannot relieve tinnitus.
A higher level of stress makes tinnitus worse.
Tinnitus will get worse the longer it’s left untreated.
Tinnitus Evaluations
The dedicated staff at ZN Audiology is highly experienced at performing tinnitus evaluations, as well as coming up with appropriate treatments. Since tinnitus can be symptomatic of another disorder, it is necessary for your audiologist to test for and rule out possible causes before deciding on treatment.
When you come in for a tinnitus evaluation, our audiologist may examine your head, neck, and ears, administer a standard hearing test, and/or conduct a movement test. If an evaluation reveals that you have a hearing loss, we can treat your tinnitus with hearing aids or other listening devices.
The loudness of your tinnitus can be measured by using psychoacoustic matching procedures. We will also ask you to fill out a questionnaire to determine if your tinnitus is triggered by anxiety, stress, and/or depression.
