What Our Patients Say About Tinnitus Management - Sound & Music Therapy

Symptoms

The most common symptom of Tinnitus is the perception of noise when there is no external sound source. This noise can manifest as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or roaring, and it may be intermittent or constant.

Risk Factors

Prolonged exposure to loud noises, a history of ear Tinnitus, cardiovascular issues, and certain medications, such as antibiotics and high doses of aspirin, can increase the likelihood of experiencing Tinnitus.

When to see an ENT Specialist

While occasional Tinnitus is common and often temporary, persistent symptoms require medical attention. If you experience Tinnitus along with hearing loss, and dizziness, or if it interferes with your daily chores, it’s important to consult with an ENT Specialist.

Treatment

Lifestyle changes, like avoiding loud noises and managing stress, can contribute to symptom relief. For some, however, medical interventions or therapeutic strategies may be necessary.

Sound Therapy and Music Therapy

Sound therapy involves using external sounds to mask or partially suppress the tinnitus noise. White noise machines, hearing aids, or wearable sound generators are common devices used in sound therapy. These tools can help distract the brain from the tinnitus sound and provide relief to some individuals.

Music therapy is an approach in which the herapists use specially designed music or sounds to help patients shift their focus away from the Tinnitus. This form of therapy can enhance mood, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

Prevention

Protecting your hearing is a key preventive measure against Tinnitus. This includes using ear protection in noisy environments, limiting exposure to loud music or machinery, and managing stress through relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation. Regular check-ups with an audiologist can also help detect and address hearing issues early on.
