Are you one of 250 million people who suffer from tinnitus? If you have tinnitus you’re not alone and you can take control of it.
Chippendale Hearing Services have a wealth of experience helping our patients control their tinnitus.
It’s a fact that more than 50 per cent of those with tinnitus do nothing about it. The perception of sounds or noises within the ears with no external sound source, such as constant or periodic ringing, humming or buzzing noises, can be stress inducing and sleep depriving, so doing something about it is essential to your wellbeing.
Tinnitus can be triggered by a variety of causes, but it is commonly linked to exposure to loud sounds, which can damage the delicate sensory cells of the inner ear. The condition has also been associated with ear infections, ageing, stress, excessive earwax, high blood pressure and sensory nerve disorders. Activities such as smoking, drinking alcohol or caffeine, and taking excessive amounts of aspirin or antibiotics may exacerbate tinnitus. Despite the common misconception that tinnitus is confined to the elderly, it’s certainly a problem that affects a wide cross-section of society.
While counselling can help you handle tinnitus, the effects can often also be minimised by sound therapy, and Widex’s Zen Therapy Tinnitus Management Programme has proved enormously effective when delivered by qualified hearing care professionals such as Chippendale Hearing Services.
We offer a range of products and treatments to aid tinnitus, and also work closely with other ENT specialists to help you control your tinnitus.
