Tinnitus is experienced by approximately 30% of the population at some point in their lives. Approximately 1 in 7 tinnitus sufferers have persistent tinnitus.
Whilst most people continue to enjoy daily activities, there are others that find it has a severe impact on their lives.
Often tinnitus is experienced as a ringing in the head or ears. However, it can present in a variety of sounds such as buzzing, humming, whistling, music or even the sound of the roaring ocean.
Tinnitus can be either constant or intermittent and can be experienced in either one or both ears.
For most people the sound is subjective and only they can hear it. It can vary in volume and the onset can be sudden or gradual.
Approximately 90% of people with tinnitus experience some degree of hearing loss. Often people think they struggle to hear because of it, when in fact it can be due to an actual hearing loss.
Hearing aids can be helpful for many people. The more you hear, the less you notice your tinnitus. With hearing aids, your brain has other sounds to listen to making tinnitus less noticeable.
At Hearing Choices, we can create a course of treatments that suits your needs.
The treatment goal is all about learning to live with tinnitus and controlling it, instead of allowing it to control you.
