Understanding Tinnitus
Tinnitus is the perception of sound, typically a buzzing, ringing, or hissing, with no external source. Tinnitus is common, affecting approximately 15% of adults. It can range from mildly annoying to severely disruptive and life-altering. While it may be common, there is no need to live and suffer with tinnitus untreated. With the proper support, tinnitus can be well managed.
Some of the symptoms of tinnitus are common, like the ringing or buzzing in one or both ears. Some may also experience a clicking or pulsing sound, or sounds randomly rising and falling in volume or pitch. This can affect people differently, with some having trouble sleeping or concentrating due to the phantom noise. Tinnitus can be chronic or temporary, but either way, seeking professional care can help reduce its impact on your life.

Causes of Tinnitus
Tinnitus is not a disease. Instead, it is a symptom. In most cases, tinnitus is linked to damage to the inner ear, especially damage related to age-related hearing loss or loud noise exposure. Even if your hearing seems normal, tinnitus may signal that your hearing health has changed.

How We Evaluate Tinnitus
Getting to the bottom of your cause of tinnitus begins with a complete hearing health assessment. At Lakeside Audiology, our tinnitus evaluations are thorough and compassionate.
When you visit for a tinnitus assessment, you can expect to give a full review of your medical history and to have a detailed conversation about when and how your tinnitus began. After this discussion, we will provide a comprehensive hearing test to check for hearing loss or related issues. If necessary, we can provide referrals to medical specialists if there is reason to believe another condition may be contributing to the problem. Our goal is to understand your symptoms and how tinnitus affects your life. This will lead to the right solutions for you.
