Tinnitus Treatment in Issaquah, Mill Creek, Renton and Woodinville, WA

What is Tinnitus? 

Tinnitus is the observance of a sound without the actual presence of an external source of the sound. Many with tinnitus report hearing sounds such as ringing, clicking, buzzing, hissing, or roaring at various pitches and frequencies. 

The severity of tinnitus is determined by how loud the sounds are, and whether or not they are interfering with your ability to hear or perform daily functions. Typically, an individual will notice that their symptoms worsen at night, which is due to a lack of other external sounds to detract from the continuous sounds created by the tinnitus.

Potential Causes of Tinnitus 

While most cases of tinnitus are harmless, a sudden ringing in your ears can mark changes in your blood pressure or other health issues. Usually tinnitus clears up within a few hours. 

  • Ear and sinus infections 
  • Cochlear damage from heredity, noise exposure, or aging 
  • Acoustic trauma caused by exposure to loud noises 
  • Meniere’s disease 
  • A condition of the thyroid, heart, or blood vessels 
  • Medications 
  • TMJ
  • Muscular stress and fatigue, particularly of the neck, jaw, and face.  

Evaluation and Diagnosis 

Tinnitus is not a disease, but rather a symptom associated with another underlying condition. If a patient’s tinnitus can be directly linked to another cause, then it is known as secondary tinnitus. On the other hand, if no cause can be identified apart from hearing loss, then the individual is determined to have primary tinnitus, which is the most common form. 

As a case of tinnitus is being investigated, the patient will often undergo a series of tests to determine if their tinnitus symptoms are related to another condition such as a sinus infection. An audiogram is usually performed to measure the individual’s current hearing abilities, and additional scans may be necessary if the tinnitus is believed to be linked to a neurological condition.
