Tinnitus and the Ear

We will see in particular that tinnitus has to do not only with the ear but also with the areas of the brain involved in hearing.

The causes of tinnitus can be very diverse and often difficult to identify.
This logically results in a wide variety of possible tinnitus treatments axes.
It will of course be possible and probably advisable to combine several of them.
let’s take a look at the existing possibilities.
Frequencies and Decibels
Frequencies and Decibels: In order to better understand tinnitus, we propose in this post to define the sound, and how it is characterized and quantified.
To define a sound we use two parameters which are its frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz) and its intensity, measured in Decibels (dB).
Treatments #2: Medication
Let’s have a summary here of the Medication and Supplementation possibilities. Medication doesn’t really solve the problem while supplementation may help by improving aspects of the global response to tinnitus.

Treatments# 7: Using Ear Aids
Today, many hearing aid manufacturers include tinnitus solutions in their hearing aids to help patients regain their hearing peace.
Known as “tinnitus noiser” or “tinnitus masker”, these tinnitus solutions are now offered on many high-end hearing aids for personalised hearing comfort day and night.
These hearing aids can help patients with tinnitus with or without hearing loss and can also be used as a complement to the treatment of hearing loss if this is the case.
