Tinnitus Management in Dallas, TX
Are you hearing a ringing sound, white noise, or clicking in your ears? You may be among the 50 million Americans each year suffering from tinnitus. Tinnitus can even sound like wind or crackling. Because it’s constant, tinnitus can be extremely distracting and may keep you awake at night. Despite all the hype you may have heard on social media, there is no cure for tinnitus. However, there are many ways to manage it successfully so you can sleep better and go back to enjoying quiet moments.
Management Often Depends on What's Causing Your Tinnitus
Tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss or can occur after concerts or other extended loud noise. However, tinnitus can also be a side effect of medication, allergies, high blood pressure, or other health conditions. Uncovering the root cause of your tinnitus will help you find the best management option.
Get Relief From Your Tinnitus
Make an appointment and we’ll go through your medical history and do a full ear exam, including a hearing evaluation. Understanding what caused the ringing in your ears and what makes it worse will help us determine which tinnitus management options are right for you.
How Do I Stop the Constant Ringing in my Ears?
Until we identify a management option, avoid things that appear to make your tinnitus worse. If you’re regularly exposed to loud noise through your work or home environment, make sure you have adequate hearing protection. If you’re taking medications, check the side effects, and if they’re known to cause tinnitus, consult your doctor to see if an alternative treatment would be a better option for you.
Common Tinnitus Management Options
Tinnitus management can be as easy as removing impacted earwax, changing medications, or taking measures to lower your blood pressure. If those aren’t the cause of your tinnitus, you may need other treatment such as special hearing aids, maskers, allergy treatments, meditation, or cognitive behavioral therapy.
