There Is Hope For Tinnitus

A patient-friendly overview of there is hope for tinnitus, when an ENT evaluation may be useful and which questions to discuss with a qualified specialist.

Tinnitus can be characterized by ringing noises, or other kinds of noises, in one or both of your ears. The noise you hear when you have tinnitus isn’t caused by an external sound, and other people cannot hear it. While it sounds like a scary condition, it is actually a common problem, and affects about 15% to 20% of people, especially in older adults. Tinnitus tends to be caused by an underlying condition, like age-related hearing loss, an ear injury, or a problem with the circulatory system. For many people, tinnitus improves with treatment of the underlying cause, or with other treatments that reduce or mask the noise, making tinnitus less noticeable.
