Do you suffer from a ringing in your ears - sporadically or chronically? You may be suffering from tinnitus.
What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a ringing, buzzing, or other noises in your ears. You can experience it in one of both ears – chronically or sporadically. Tinnitus is sometimes called phantom noise because the ringing in your ears does not come from an outside source. It comes from your brain.
Tinnitus can cause sleeping difficulties, poor concentration, headaches and neck tension.
Tinnitus Symptoms Include:
High-Pitched Ringing
Aiplane Engine Noise
Wind Blowing
Rainstorm
Whistling Tea Kettle
People of all ages can be susceptible to some form of disruptive and persistent ear ringing.
Hearing loss causes less external sound stimuli to reach your brain. And so, sometimes your brain changes how it processes different sound frequencies.
Tinnitus can be a result of these changes.
And this is why people who experience tinnitus can find relief with the use of a hearing aid.
Hearing Aids - a common treatment for Tinnitus - can significantly reduce your symptoms
Hearing aids can help reduce the problems of tinnitus in many ways:
1. Hearing aids can boost the volume of external noise and mask the tinnitus.
2. Increased volume of external noise from a hearing aid also increases the amount of auditory stimulation in your brain.
3. When hearing aids amplify conversations, sounds from the radio or television, above the perceived volume of tinnitus, hearing aid wearers may be less frustrated and socially isolated.
