Tinnitus

Many people live with tinnitus and experience sounds in their heads and constant buzzing or whistling in their ears that are not related to external sounds. Tinnitus is not a disease, it is a symptom, but in the background can be several types of illnesses. There is often connection between tinnitus and hearing loss.

Tinnitus can sound like:

  • ringing
  • buzzing
  • whistling
  • throbbing
  • humming
  • hissing
  • music or singing

 

 

You may hear these sounds in one or both ears, or in your head. They may come and go, or you might hear them all the time.

At this moment there is no diet, no surgery and no pill that can reduce tinnitus, but you can learn to live with it. If an audiogram shows you have both tinnitus and hearing loss, there are hearing aids with tinnitus program what can help you.

If tinnitus is associated with hearing loss, check it with ENT specialist or audiologist.

Hearing loss

Hearing loss is the result of damage to one or multiple parts of the outer, middle or inner ear. Once the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, permanent sensorineural hearing loss occurs.

Types of hearing loss

Hearing loss can be temporary or permanent. It often comes on gradually as you get older, but it can sometimes happen suddenly.

Hearing loss in childhood

It’s especially important to catch hearing loss in children since healthy hearing is so essential to language development and learning skills.
