Details (prREACH) Ringing in the ears is a hearing disorder which affects nearly 50 million Americans between 60
and 75 years old. The principal manifestation of tinnitus, which usually impacts significantly more men than
women, is hearing tones that nobody else can hear. Tinnitus is usually not considered a disease in itself but
an indication of something else taking place in one or more of the four components of the auditory system –
the outer ear, the middle ear, the inner ear, and the brain. Tinnitus more frequently appears as a co-
symptom associated with other types of either conductive or sensorineural loss of hearing, rather than being
a type of loss of hearing by itself. However, because tinnitus causes visitors to hear the buzzing or ringing
sound continually, this tends to have the effect of reducing an individual’s absolute threshold of hearing,
which makes it more challenging to hear low-level sounds normally.
The audiologists at American Hearing & Balance in Los Angeles are regularly researching new tinnitus
treatments to make them available locally. Because many of these therapies are rather new, long-time
tinnitus sufferers may not know that new treatments are available to them. American Hearing & Balance

American Hearing & Balance for an appointment.
Hearing aids. Tinnitus sufferers often also have some level of hearing impairment. Hearing aids provide a
dual benefit of improving hearing and masking or covering up the tinnitus. Many patients with tinnitus receive
partial or complete relief from their tinnitus by using hearing aids.
Medication. Drug therapies approach tinnitus on two different levels. They are able to combat the strong
emotions and anxiety that are prevalent among tinnitus patients and also directly reduce the symptoms.
Maskers. A tinnitus masker is a small electronic gadget that produces noises of its own to cover up (or
mask) the tinnitus. Many patients report good results with tinnitus maskers even though they do not enhance
hearing the way a hearing aid does.
Counseling and Relaxation. Stress tends to make tinnitus seem worse, so being able to relax is very
important. Beyond learning to relax, visiting a counselor for tinnitus-induced depression or anxiety can be
very effective.
