Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no corresponding environmental sounds
exists.
It usually sounds like ringing, clicking or hissing in your ears.
Tinnitus is equally
common in men and women and its prevalence increases with age (it occasionally
affects
children and is becoming prominent among teenagers - 17% of students now experience
tinnitus or ringing in the ears according to the American Speech-Language-
Hearing Association). According to the American Tinnitus Association, at least 12
million
Americans have tinnitus and 1 million of these experience it so severely that it
interferes
with their daily activities (hearing, working or sleeping).

How will hearing experts treat my tinnitus?
Although there is no cure for tinnitus, scientists and doctors have discovered
several treatments that may provide relief.
- Maskers: Maskers are electronic devices that use sound to make tinnitus less
noticeable. Maskers do not make tinnitus go away, but they are very effective in
making the ringing or roaring sound far less noticeable.

world. We offer a wide range of models to suit your needs.
- Hearing Aids: Many people with tinnitus also have hearing loss. Wearing a hearing aid
may allow you to hear the sounds you want to hear better (e.g. talking, music, etc.)
rather than your tinnitus.
