What is Tinnitus Assessment

Tinnitus Assessment Piara Waters is the process of evaluating ringing in the ears. If you have tinnitus, you hear sounds like ringing, clicking, pulsing, or humming that others don’t hear. These sounds can be very faint or so loud they interfere with your ability to hear other sounds. Severe tinnitus can make it hard to concentrate or sleep, leading to frustration or depression.

Tinnitus isn’t a disease, but a symptom of other health issues, like ear damage or age-related hearing loss. Around 15% of people worldwide experience tinnitus, including over 50 million people in Australia. It can happen to anyone, but it’s most common in people aged 40 to 80. If you’re experiencing tinnitus, Hearing and Audiology can provide expert guidance and support to manage your condition.

  • I have been a client of Hearing & Audiology for about 10 years and in that time have purchased two sets of hearing aids from them. Mostly Gabe has attended to me but so too have Tina and Chantal on occasion. I have experienced only outstanding quality and professional service from all, including Julie at Reception. Gabe always goes the extra mile and his dedication and professionalism is unequivocally commended.

What Causes Tinnitus Piara Waters?

Tinnitus Assessment

Experts are unsure why some people experience ringing in their ears while others don’t, but tinnitus is commonly associated with certain health conditions.

Common causes of tinnitus include:

  • Age-related hearing loss:

    As people age, hearing nerve activity decreases, but the brain may still receive the same level of stimulation, causing phantom sounds.

  • Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL): Exposure to loud noises, either over time or from a single event (like an explosion), can lead to tinnitus.

  • Ear injuries: Injuries affecting the nerves or areas of the brain involved in hearing can cause tinnitus, often in one ear.

  • Ear conditions: Blocked earwax or ear infections can cause temporary hearing loss and ringing.

  • Medications: Some drugs, including antibiotics, antidepressants, and NSAIDs, can lead to tinnitus.

Tinnitus Treatment and Care with Hearing and Audiology

At Hearing and Audiology, we specialise in treating tinnitus by identifying its underlying causes. Our expert audiologists will conduct a thorough examination of your ears and review your medical history to understand any potential contributing factors, such as exposure to loud noises. Based on your unique situation, we may refer you to an ear specialist for further evaluation if needed.

Our comprehensive approach includes advanced hearing tests, such as pure-tone audiometry, speech understanding, and tympanometry, to assess your condition. We may also recommend blood tests or imaging scans (MRI or CT) to rule out other health issues.

At Hearing and Audiology, we believe in addressing tinnitus at its root, ensuring the best chance for relief. Additionally, if necessary, we can refer you to a dentist for an evaluation to determine if temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) could be contributing to your symptoms.

How do Hearing experts suggest treating tinnitus?

Tinnitus sound therapy can help reduce the bothersome effects of tinnitus over time. An audiologist from Hearing and Audiology may suggest:

  1. Using a noise machine – White noise, nature sounds, or ambient soundscapes can distract your brain and ease tinnitus. You can buy noise machines, or use fans or humidifiers that produce white noise. There are also white noise playlists and apps you can use on your smartphone.

  2. Wearing in-ear noise generators – These are earbuds that produce a continuous white noise. You can wear them during the day for relief, but avoid using them while sleeping. If you need something for nighttime, ask your audiologist at Hearing and Audiology for other options, such as a headband with built-in headphones.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tinnitus Assessment

Tinnitus itself doesn’t shorten your life expectancy, but conditions like heart disease could impact it.

It depends on the cause. If your ears ring after a loud concert, it’s likely temporary. But if it lasts more than a week or two, there could be another issue.

There’s no cure for tinnitus, but doctors can treat underlying conditions and help manage symptoms.

  • Total silence (it can make the ringing more noticeable).

  • Loud noises.

  • Triggers like bad sleep and high stress.

Some experts think nutrition may affect tinnitus. While research is limited, recent studies suggest that these foods and drinks could increase the risk of tinnitus:

  • Caffeine

  • Salt

  • Saturated fats

Many people experience tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, at some point. Usually, it’s temporary. However, if the ringing lasts for days or weeks, it can become overwhelming. If your symptoms last more than a week or two, it’s important to see a healthcare provider. They can determine the cause and suggest the next steps.
