Understanding Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a common condition that affects many people. It is characterized by a persistent ringing, buzzing, or a rushing sound in the ears. While tinnitus does not cause hearing loss, it can significantly impact your quality of life.
Tinnitus is similar to phantom-limb syndrome. When the auditory system is damaged (due to aging, medication, or injury), the brain doesn't receive the expected stimulation and compensates by creating the sensation of ringing, buzzing, or humming.
Tinnitus Treatment Options in Highland, UT
Tinnitus affects everyone differently. Whether it’s interfering with your sleep, concentration, or overall well-being, we know how challenging it can be. But there’s hope. While there isn’t a cure for tinnitus, much like other chronic conditions, there are proven treatments that have helped the majority of our patients find relief.
The Importance of Comprehensive Testing
A standard hearing test might indicate "normal" results even when tinnitus is present. Traditional audiograms can overlook up to 50% of auditory neuron loss and fail to assess hearing beyond the range of speech comprehension.
A thorough tinnitus evaluation goes beyond the basics, examining the health of your cochlea and the full spectrum of your hearing.
This in-depth assessment allows us to pinpoint the specific areas of auditory loss contributing to your tinnitus. With this detailed understanding, we can develop a personalized treatment plan that may include one or more of our treatment methods:
- Hearing Devices: These are specifically designed to replace the missing auditory stimulation in your brain, which can effectively reduce tinnitus. With years of research supporting their effectiveness, these devices can also lower your risk of dementia, cognitive decline, and other health issues linked to untreated hearing loss.
- Lenire: This FDA-approved device uses bimodal neuromodulation to stimulate nerves in both the tongue and ear simultaneously, helping your brain adapt and reducing the perception of tinnitus. It’s a cutting-edge treatment that has shown a high success rate among users.
- My Tinnitus Therapy: This is our proprietary 8-week online program that uses mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and cognitive therapeutic tools to help you adapt and reduce the impact of tinnitus. It’s especially effective when used in conjunction with hearing devices or Lenire.
