Did you know there can be relief from the bothersome ringing in your ears? We can find a solution together during a tinnitus evaluation.
What is tinnitus?
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is an auditory sensation of hearing a sound in the ear when no external sound is present. Tinnitus is a common problem that affects about 1 in 5 people. Although the ringing in the ear can be bothersome, it usually isn’t a sign of something serious.
What are the symptoms associated with tinnitus?
Tinnitus can sound like any of the following noises: Ringing, Buzzing, Roaring, Clicking, or Hissing. Some people experience tinnitus in one ear while others hear it in both ears. Patients often perceive tinnitus to be louder when they are in a quiet environment.
If you are experiencing tinnitus or ringing in the ears, call our office to schedule your tinnitus evaluation. For all tinnitus patients we perform a complete medical history and a hearing evaluation. This appointment takes approximately one hour.
