What Tinnitus Actually Is

Sound you hear without an external source.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound, often described as ringing, buzzing, or humming, when there’s no outside noise causing it. It’s common. Estimates put it at one in seven adults nationally, and one in three over age 65.

It’s not in your head. It’s a real, measurable phenomenon, usually tied to changes in how the auditory system processes signal. The good news: with proper evaluation, most patients can find management strategies that meaningfully reduce how much it bothers them.

Our Approach

A four-part framework for tinnitus.

No two patients experience tinnitus the same way. Our job is to figure out which combination of tools fits your case.

Thorough evaluation

Comprehensive hearing testing plus tinnitus-specific measures. Tinnitus often correlates with subtle hearing changes that need to be addressed first.

Sound therapy & masking

Carefully tuned background sound can reduce how prominent your tinnitus feels. Some hearing aids include masking features built in for patients who need both.

Counseling & education

Understanding tinnitus is half the treatment. The more you understand the mechanism, the less anxiety it tends to produce, and anxiety is what makes tinnitus harder to live with.

Lifestyle & habituation

Sleep, caffeine, stress, and noise exposure all affect tinnitus. We’ll go through what’s adjustable in your day-to-day and what habits help your brain get used to the signal.

You’re not imagining it.

Patients are sometimes told their tinnitus is “just stress” or that nothing can be done. Neither is fully true. Tinnitus is a real auditory experience, it’s usually connected to something specific in the hearing system, and there are evidence-based ways to manage it. The first step is a proper evaluation so we know what we’re actually working with.

Tinnitus FAQ

Common questions from new patients.

Can tinnitus be cured?

For most patients, there is no “cure” in the sense of permanently eliminating the perception of sound. What proper management can do, often dramatically, is reduce how loud, intrusive, or distressing the tinnitus feels. Most patients we see report meaningful improvement.

What causes tinnitus?

Common causes include noise exposure, age-related hearing changes, certain medications, head or neck injuries, and middle-ear issues. Sometimes the cause is clear after a single evaluation; sometimes it takes a more thorough workup with help from your physician.

Do hearing aids help with tinnitus?

Often, yes. Many patients with tinnitus also have some degree of hearing loss, and hearing aids that restore proper amplification frequently reduce tinnitus perception at the same time. We will determine during your evaluation whether this applies to you.

When should I see a doctor instead of an audiologist?

If your tinnitus is sudden, one-sided, pulsatile (rhythmic with your heartbeat), or accompanied by dizziness, see your physician promptly. Any of these can indicate a medical issue that needs evaluation first. We’re happy to coordinate care with your medical team.
