- UNDERSTANDING TINNITUS
What is tinnitus, and why does it happen?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound — ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking, or roaring — when no external sound is present. It affects approximately 15% of adults, making it one of the most common hearing-related conditions.
It's not a disease itself, but a symptom — most commonly associated with noise-induced hearing loss, aging, or changes in the auditory system. In most cases, tinnitus can be significantly managed with the right approach.
The first step is a proper evaluation — to understand the nature of your tinnitus, identify any underlying causes, and build a plan that makes real-world sense for your life.
- WHO WE HELP
Tinnitus affects many people for many reasons
Musicians
Years of loud performances and rehearsals create cumulative noise exposure that commonly leads to tinnitus.
Industrial Workers
Occupational noise from machinery, tools, and equipment is a leading cause of noise-induced tinnitus.
Veterans
Tinnitus is the most common service-connected disability among veterans. We understand the specific challenges you face.
Adults 50+
Age-related changes in the auditory system are one of the most common causes of tinnitus and often accompany hearing loss.
— TREATMENT OPTIONS
Our evidence-based approach for tinnitus management.
There's no single cure for tinnitus — but there are highly effective approaches that significantly reduce its impact. We build a personalized plan based on your specific situation.
Sound Therapy
Using carefully chosen sound to reduce the contrast between tinnitus and background sound — making it less noticeable over time. Can include white noise, nature sounds, or customized soundscapes.
Hearing Aids with Tinnitus Features
For patients with co-existing hearing loss, modern hearing aids include built-in tinnitus masking programs that provide sound therapy while also treating hearing loss simultaneously.
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)
A structured approach combining sound therapy with individualized counseling to help your brain reclassify tinnitus as a neutral, non-threatening signal — significantly reducing distress.
Tinnitus Counseling
Education and psychological support around tinnitus — helping you understand what's happening, develop coping strategies, and reduce the emotional distress that often amplifies the experience.
Tinnitus Assessment & Monitoring
A thorough baseline measurement of your tinnitus — pitch, loudness, and impact — so we can track your progress over time and adjust your management plan as needed.
Hearing Protection
For patients whose tinnitus is driven by ongoing noise exposure, custom hearing protection prevents further damage and stops the cycle of worsening symptoms.
- OUR APPROACH
We treat the person, not just the symptom.
Tinnitus is personal. Two people with identical audiograms and identical tinnitus sounds can have completely different experiences — one barely notices it, the other finds it debilitating. That difference is what drives our individualized approach.
We start with a complete evaluation — your audiogram, tinnitus characteristics, and the impact it's having on your life. Then we build a management plan that's realistic, sustainable, and genuinely makes a difference.
We also know that tinnitus can take a toll emotionally. We take that seriously, and we're committed to being a resource for you — not just at your first appointment, but throughout your care.

- FAQ
Your tinnitus questions,
answered.
Can tinnitus be cured?
There is currently no universal cure for tinnitus. However, for the vast majority of patients, tinnitus can be significantly managed, to the point where it no longer disrupts daily life, sleep, or concentration. Many patients achieve what clinicians call "habituation," where the brain essentially stops noticing the sound.
Will my tinnitus get worse over time?
Tinnitus doesn't always worsen and with proper management and hearing protection, many patients keep it stable or improve significantly. The key is addressing it proactively rather than hoping it resolves on its own.
Is tinnitus related to hearing loss?
The majority of tinnitus cases are associated with some degree of hearing loss, but not all. A comprehensive evaluation will determine whether hearing loss is a factor and what the best treatment approach is for your specific situation.
Does insurance cover tinnitus treatment?
Coverage varies. Audiologic evaluations including tinnitus assessment are often covered by Medicare and many private plans. We'll verify your specific benefits before your appointment and explain what is and isn't covered clearly.
