Understand the Signs & Symptoms of Tinnitus
Tinnitus is more than just a minor inconvenience—it's a condition that can significantly affect your quality of life. This auditory issue is characterized by persistent noises that are not caused by any external sound source, and it can interfere with daily activities and overall well-being. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you might be dealing with tinnitus:
Ringing or Buzzing
Persistent sounds in one or both ears that can be steady or fluctuate in intensity, often described as a ringing, buzzing, or humming noise that others cannot hear.
Hissing or Clicking
Various noises that may come and go, including hissing, clicking, or roaring sounds, which may vary in pitch and can occur intermittently or continuously.
Hearing Loss
Difficulty understanding conversations, especially in noisy environments, or the need to increase volume on devices like the TV or phone to comprehend speech clearly.
Sleep Disturbances
Struggling to fall asleep or maintain sleep due to the relentless internal noise, which can lead to fatigue and impact daily functioning and mood.
Understanding the Causes
Understanding the root cause of your tinnitus is crucial for finding the right solution tailored to your needs. Tinnitus can stem from a variety of causes, each requiring specific attention:
Exposure to Loud Noise
Long-term exposure to loud environments, like concerts, heavy machinery, or even prolonged use of headphones at high volumes, can lead to damage in the inner ear, resulting in tinnitus.
Ear Infections
Infections or blockages in the ear canal, such as those caused by earwax buildup or respiratory infections, can disrupt normal ear function and lead to ringing or buzzing sounds.
Aging
As we age, our hearing naturally declines. This age-related hearing loss, known as presbycusis, can often bring about tinnitus, affecting the way we perceive sounds.
Medical Conditions
Various medical conditions, including hypertension, Meniere's disease, or even circulatory system disorders, can contribute to the development of tinnitus, making it important to manage these underlying health issues.
How Personalized Hearing Aids Can Help
At King Audiology, we offer personalized hearing aids designed to relieve the symptoms of tinnitus and improve overall hearing. Our state-of-the-art devices come with advanced features like noise reduction and sound therapy that can help you focus on external sounds rather than the ringing in your ears.
​

Improved Communication
By amplifying specific frequencies, our advanced hearing aids can significantly enhance the ability to understand speech, especially in noisy environments, making it easier to engage in conversations and social interactions with confidence.
