Learn What We Can Do for Your Tinnitus
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head without an external source, often described as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or clicking. Chronic tinnitus affects nearly 10% of adults, making it one of the most commonly reported health concerns in the United States today. Tinnitus is not a condition itself but a symptom of an underlying issue, such as sensorineural hearing loss or ear injury. While there is no universal cure, effective management options are available. Treatments such as Lenire® neuromodulation therapy, tinnitus sound therapy, counseling, and targeted lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the perception of tinnitus and improve overall quality of life.
At Integral Audiology, we specialize in helping patients find meaningful relief from tinnitus. We recognize that tinnitus can affect focus, sleep, and emotional well-being, and we take pride in offering evidence-based solutions tailored to each patient’s unique experience.
What can I expect during a tinnitus evaluation?
Step 1: A Comprehensive Discussion
We begin by listening to you. You’ll have time to describe your tinnitus experience—what it sounds like, how often it occurs, how it’s affecting your daily life, and whether it’s impacting your sleep, mood, or concentration. We’ll also review your medical and hearing history to identify any potential underlying causes.
Step 2: Diagnostic Hearing Evaluation
Tinnitus is often linked to hearing loss, even if you haven’t noticed one. We’ll perform a full hearing test in a soundproof booth to assess your hearing across various frequencies and help determine if there’s an audiological basis for your tinnitus.
Step 3: Tinnitus-Specific Testing
In many cases, we’ll perform additional tests to measure the pitch and loudness of your tinnitus. This helps us better understand your unique tinnitus profile and may be helpful in developing treatment strategies.
Step 4: Counseling & Education
Tinnitus can feel isolating, but you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. We’ll explain what we’ve found, answer your questions, and walk you through the current research on tinnitus. You’ll learn about how the brain and auditory system interact and how stress, sleep, and hearing loss can play a role.
Step 5: Personalized Treatment Plan
There’s no one-size-fits-all cure for tinnitus, but there are highly effective strategies to reduce its impact on your life. Based on your results, we may recommend options such as:
Sound therapy or tinnitus maskers
Hearing aids with tinnitus features
Relaxation techniques or mindfulness tools
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) referrals
Lifestyle changes and home strategies
