Details (prREACH) Ringing in the ears is a hearing problem which affects approximately fifty million US citizens
between 60 and 75 years old. More prevalent in men than women, the primary characteristic of ringing in the
ears is experiencing sounds that nobody else can hear. Tinnitus quite often suggests a problem developing
within the four areas of the auditory system – the outer ear, the middle ear, the inner ear, and the brain – and
consequently could be more of a sign of other issues than a disease itself. Tinnitus often appears as a co-
symptom connected with other kinds of either conductive or sensorineural loss of hearing, rather than being
a form of hearing loss by itself. Also, because tinnitus fills the ears with a continuous base level of ever-
present sound, it decreases the absolute threshold of hearing and causes it to become challenging to listen
for faint sounds “over” the constant buzzing or ringing.
Because tinnitus is such a widespread problem in the U.S., the audiologists at Dodero Hearing Center are
constantly researching new therapies. Tinnitus research is a very active field with many studies and trials
completed each year. Consequently, long-time tinnitus sufferers are frequently unaware of the newest
solutions. Being able to offer the most up-to-date tinnitus treatments locally in Santa Barbara, CA is a point
of pride for the audiologists at Dodero Hearing Center. As part of that effort they’ve compiled a list of tinnitus

of pride for the audiologists at Dodero Hearing Center. As part of that effort they’ve compiled a list of tinnitus
therapies on their website and regularly blog about fresh developments in the field of tinnitus research.
Readers looking for further detail about the treatment options listed below are urged to visit the website at

Hearing aids. Most individuals with tinnitus have some amount of hearing loss. Hearing aids can provide the
double benefit of enhancing hearing ability while also covering the sounds of tinnitus. Tinnitus sufferers
making use of hearing aids commonly report partial or complete alleviation of tinnitus symptoms.
Drug Therapies. Some tinnitus sufferers experience anxiety and other strong emotional responses to their
tinnitus. Certain medicines may offer relief from these emotional reactions and provide some relief from the
ringing in the ears.
Maskers. A tinnitus masker is a small electronic device that generates sounds of its own to cover up (or
mask) the tinnitus. Numerous patients claim good success with tinnitus maskers although they don’t
improve hearing the way a hearing aid does.
Relaxation and Counseling. Learning how to relax is extremely important if the ringing in your ears
aggravates you. Stress tends to make ringing in the ears feel even worse. People with tinnitus might
experience anxiety, depression and other psychiatric problems for which counseling is applicable.
