Details (prREACH) Approximately fifty million Americans between the ages of 60 and 75 are suffering from a hearing
disorder known as tinnitus. More prevalent in men than women, the primary characteristic of ringing ears is
hearing sounds that no one else can hear. Tinnitus is generally not thought to be a disease in itself but a
symptom of something else occurring in one or even more of the four elements of the auditory system – the
outer ear, the middle ear, the inner ear, and the brain. Tinnitus more often appears as a co-symptom linked
to other forms of either conductive or sensorineural loss of hearing, as opposed to being a kind of loss of
hearing in itself. However , because tinnitus can cause individuals to hear the buzzing or ringing sound
constantly, this tends to have the effect of decreasing an individual’s absolute threshold of hearing, making it
tougher to hear low-level sounds normally. The audiologists at Tinnitus Therapy Jacksonville are constantly
investigating new tinnitus treatments to make them available locally. Due to the fact that many of these
therapies are rather new, individuals who’ve endured tinnitus for an extended time are often unaware that
new therapies have been introduced.

The ability to provide the most up-to-date tinnitus treatments locally in Jacksonville, FL is a point of pride for
the audiologists at Audiology and Hearing Aid Services. As part of that effort they’ve created a list of tinnitus
treatments on their website and often blog about fresh breakthroughs in the area of tinnitus research. Details
about the tinnitus therapies in the following list is available on the Audiology and Hearing Aid Services
website or by scheduling an appointment.
Hearing aids. People with tinnitus frequently also have some amount of hearing loss. The dual benefit of
hearing aids is that they cover the sounds of the tinnitus while also boosting hearing ability. Tinnitus patients
making use of hearing aids often report partial or complete alleviation of tinnitus symptoms.
Medicine or drug therapy. Drug therapies and medications have two roles to play in tinnitus therapy. Some
medications offer direct relief from the tinnitus symptoms while others are intended to target the anxiety and
strong emotions affiliated with tinnitus.
Relaxation and Counseling. Relaxation techniques are essential for tinnitus patients because stress tends to
make tinnitus feel worse. Counseling may be appropriate when tinnitus causes depression, anxiety or other
psychiatric problems.
Maskers. Covering up (or masking) the sounds of tinnitus can be achieved through an electronic tinnitus
masker. Like hearing aids, they offer tinnitus relief, but will not improve hearing and can interfere with
understanding speech.
