Tinnitus Treatment in Anytown

If you hear ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sounds in your ears — even when it’s quiet — you may be experiencing tinnitus. This condition affects millions and can impact sleep, focus, and quality of life. The good news: relief from tinnitus is possible with evaluation and care.

What to Expect When Seeking Treatment for Tinnitus

At Staverman Hearing Centers, your tinnitus evaluation may include:

  • A comprehensive hearing test to check for related hearing loss
  • Tinnitus matching and masking tests to measure severity

While tinnitus itself is not a disease, it can signal underlying issues such as hearing loss, circulatory concerns, or ear injury. Addressing it early can help reduce stress, protect your hearing, and restore peace of mind.

Tinnitus Treatment Options

Depending on your results, we may recommend:

Hearing Aids

Amplifying external sounds with a hearing aid can make tinnitus less noticeable. Many modern devices also include built-in tinnitus relief programs that play gentle tones or soothing background sounds, helping shift attention away from the ringing.

Sound Masking Devices

These produce background noise to mask tinnitus sounds. They may play white noise, nature sounds, or soft music, creating a calming environment that reduces the contrast between silence and the tinnitus itself.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps change the way you perceive and cope with tinnitus. By reframing negative thought patterns and reducing emotional distress, CBT can make tinnitus feel less overwhelming and improve overall quality of life.

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

Combines sound therapy with counseling to habituate the tinnitus sound. Over time, your brain learns to “tune out” the tinnitus, much like it does with everyday background noises, allowing you to focus more easily on conversations and activities.

MIddle-Ear Implants

Ideal for individuals who can't use standard hearing aids due to allergies, chronic ear issues, or narrow ear canals. A surgically implanted magnetic microphone behind the ear converts sound into vibrations transmitted directly to the middle ear.

Relaxation Techniques

Stress can worsen tinnitus, but methods like deep breathing, exercise, and biofeedback may help. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices can also reduce tension, making tinnitus less intrusive and easier to manage.

Tinnitus FAQs

Tinnitus is the perception of sound – such as ringing, buzzing, or whooshing – in the ears when no external noise is present.

No, tinnitus itself is not a disease. It’s a symptom that may be linked to hearing loss, ear injury, circulatory issues or other health conditions.

There is no cure for tinnitus, but there may be a way to find relief from the ringing – like hearing aids, sound therapy or counseling – can significantly reduce the impact of tinnitus.

Most people with tinnitus also have some degree of hearing loss. Treating the hearing loss can make the tinnitus less noticeable.

If tinnitus is persistent, interferes with sleep or focus, or is accompanied by sudden hearing changes, schedule an evaluation with a hearing care specialist.

Most hearing aids are not waterproof. It's best to remove them before bathing, swimming, or engaging in activities where they might get wet. Exposure to moisture can damage the delicate electronics inside.

Always store your hearing aids in their protective case when not in use. Proper storage protects them from dust, moisture and potential damage. If you're traveling, consider using a dehumidifying case to keep them dry.
