Tinnitus

Ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears?

Tinnitus is common and often treatable at the symptom level. Evaluation helps identify likely causes and build a plan that improves sleep, focus, and communication.

Tinnitus treatment starts with understanding the cause

Tinnitus is common and can sound like ringing, humming, white noise, or clicking. While there is no single universal cure, many patients improve substantially with a targeted management plan.

What does tinnitus usually feel like?

Patients describe tinnitus as ringing, buzzing, hissing, pulsing, clicking, or humming. Symptoms may be constant or intermittent and often seem louder in quiet environments or at bedtime.

Because persistent tinnitus can affect sleep, concentration, and mood, treatment focuses on reducing day-to-day burden and improving quality of life.

Treatment often depends on what is causing your tinnitus

Common contributors include hearing loss, noise exposure, medication effects, blood-pressure changes, middle-ear problems, and stress-related amplification. Identifying the likely source guides treatment.

We review medical history, perform an ear exam, and complete hearing testing to identify likely triggers and decide which tinnitus-treatment options are most appropriate for you.

How do I reduce constant ringing day to day?

  • Protect ears in loud environments at work, concerts, or around power equipment.
  • Review medications with your prescribing clinician if symptoms started after a medication change.
  • Track triggers such as stress, poor sleep, excess caffeine, or high noise exposure.
  • Use consistent bedtime sound support if nighttime tinnitus is affecting sleep.

Common tinnitus treatments

  • Removal of impacted earwax or treatment of active ear disease when present.
  • Medication review and risk-factor management, including blood-pressure support when indicated.
  • Special hearing aid programming and tinnitus masker/sound-therapy features.
  • Allergy and sinus care when related inflammation worsens symptoms.
  • Behavioral support strategies, including mindfulness or CBT-informed coping methods.

When should tinnitus be evaluated quickly?

Sudden hearing change, one-sided worsening, severe dizziness, persistent ear pain, or drainage should be assessed promptly.
