Tinnitus

Tinnitus has so many complications, while numerous hearing disorders also have signs of simultaneous tinnitus, it is also not at all abnormal to have tinnitus without an ear disorder or hearing loss because there are many, many causes of tinnitus. Unilateral (one-eared) tinnitus with hearing loss should be evaluated for possible ear and hearing nerve problems (such as acoustic neuroma or vestibular schwannoma), but it can occur alone and sometimes will become bilateral (two-eared) tinnitus at a later date. Hearing aids for tinnitus masking allow people with hearing loss to hear sounds they might be missing, which can efficiently cover and remove the focus from the tinnitus ringing. When you are able to hear everything going on around you, it can often provide relief from the internal sound of tinnitus.
