Tinnitus: Relief & Expert Care

Tinnitus is a symptom that appears as the sensation of buzzing, ringing, hissing, or pulsing in the ears. For millions of people, this annoyance is much more than a nuisance. Tinnitus can often interrupt sleep, increase anxiety, and affect focus. While it may feel isolating, you are not alone. Over 50 million Americans experience tinnitus at some point in their lives, with 20 million of those facing it chronically, according to the American Tinnitus Association.

The good news is that relief is possible. At Heritage Hearing and Lifelong Hearing Care, we specialize in managing tinnitus using modern tools, real-world solutions, and expert care that will put you back in control of your life. If tinnitus disrupts your daily life, schedule a free consultation right away.

Symptoms and Causes of Tinnitus

Tinnitus symptoms tend to vary from person to person and for some from day to day. Some describe it as a high-pitched ring while others hear a low hum or a pulsing rhythm that matches their heartbeat. This can be intermittent or constant, mild to severe, and may affect one or both ears. Some people will barely notice the tinnitus, but for others, many areas of life, like sleep, concentration, and quality of life, may be affected.

The key takeaway is that untreated hearing loss often worsens tinnitus by increasing the brain’s compensatory response. That is why hearing evaluations are a critical first step.

What to Expect During Your Hearing Test

Your visit for a hearing test will start with a conversation about your health history, lifestyle, and any concerns you may have. From that point, we will guide you through several simple steps. These include:

Consultation

We begin with a personal discussion about your hearing experiences, general health, and any symptoms you're noticing.

Hearing Evaluation

A visual inspection checks for blockages or issues in the outer ear, followed by a series of safe, non-invasive tests.

Pure Tone Audiometry

You’ll wear headphones and respond to a series of tones to determine the quietest sounds you can hear at various pitches.

Speech Reception & Word Recognition

We’ll test how well you understand spoken words in quiet and noisy environments.

Results & Discussion

You’ll receive your results immediately in an easy-to-understand format. We’ll walk through what everything means and, if needed, discuss next steps.

How We Can Help

At Heritage Hearing and Lifelong Hearing Care, we choose to take a holistic, personalized approach to tinnitus care. From advanced hearing aids to lifestyle support, we aim to help you regain peace of mind while reducing symptoms. Hearing aids with tinnitus masking are powerful tools. This built-in sound therapy has options like white noise, ocean wave sounds, and notch therapy that suppresses your unique tinnitus pitch. This is accomplished by amplifying environmental sounds and reducing strain on your brain. These devices do not cure tinnitus, but lessen the perception of the sounds while improving focus.

Heritage Hearing and Lifelong Hearing Care also offers additional solutions such as referrals to ENT specialists for medical causes that may need further evaluation, custom ear protection to help prevent worsening symptoms in patients who are noise sensitive, and ongoing support to adjust to lifestyle changes and symptoms as needed.

Lifestyle Tips for Managing Tinnitus

While there is no one-size-fits-all cure, many patients find meaningful relief with easy daily adjustments. Consider these expert-backed strategies:

  • Use white noise machines or mobile apps at bedtime to make ringing less noticeable.
  • Limit caffeine and salt—both can intensify tinnitus for some people.
  • Protect your ears in loud settings like concerts, sporting events, or lawn care.
  • Prioritize stress reduction through mindfulness, yoga, or counseling. Tinnitus often worsens with anxiety.
  • Maintain good sleep hygiene and avoid complete silence—background sound helps “distract” your brain.

Even minor tweaks to your routine can create significant improvements over time.
