Ever have non-stop ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears? This is called tinnitus and it affects millions of Americans, robbing them of peace, sleep, and focus.
Tinnitus is often described as a phantom sound because only the person suffering from it can hear it. It is similar to phantom limb syndrome where individuals feel sensations, including pain, in a limb that is no longer present. Tinnitus happens when the auditory system is damaged (i.e.hearing loss), the brain receives less auditory input from the ears. To compensate, it starts to "fill in the gaps" by creating sound signals internally.
Many people with hearing loss have been told in the past that there is nothing that can be done to help them find relief. This may have been true in the past, but recent research and developments show there are safe and effective options available.
A Proven Path to Relief
At Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus, we focus on personalized care, scientific solutions, and comprehensive support. Our approach addresses three key aspects of bothersome tinnitus:
1. Audibility: Damage to the auditory system often causes tinnitus sounds.
2. Emotional Impact: Anxiety, stress, and sleep disruption can worsen tinnitus.
3. Awareness: Persistent focus on tinnitus makes it harder to ignore.
Our unique treatment options treat all three of these aspects.
Cutting-Edge Treatments
Custom-Fit Hearing Devices
For patients with hearing loss, custom hearing devices often quiet the ringing by restoring missing sounds. Many people who have hearing loss and tinnitus simultaneously often report immediate improvements in tinnitus symptoms with this treatment alone.
My Tinnitus Therapy Program
To address the emotional toll, we developed My Tinnitus Therapy, a nine-week online adaptation program. Combining sound therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral techniques, this course helps retrain the brain’s response to tinnitus, reducing its disruptive impact on daily life.
Lenire Bimodal Neuromodulation
As the only full-time clinic in Utah offering Lenire, we’re proud to bring patients this FDA-approved, groundbreaking treatment. Lenire uses a bi-modal neuromodulation which retrains our brains to reduce our perception of the tinnitus. Multiple clinical and real world studies have shown significant improvement in patients using Lenire. The most recent study published in Nature Communications (August 2024) showed significant results, helping patients set tinnitus to “do not disturb.”
A Unique Treatment Approach
Our process for treating tinnitus begins with a 12 step comprehensive evaluation. With the results of that evaluation, we can then prescribe a personalized treatment plan for you. This personalized treatment has led to our clinic being named Best of State in Auditory Services 13 times, and we are the top rated hearing and tinnitus clinic in Utah County.
Here’s what one of our patients had to say recently on Google: “I got tinnitus from Covid and tried everything I could from going to an ENT to acupuncture and had no results. This place gave me great results and I can finally go throughout my day without tinnitus dragging me down.” (Brian )
