Tinnitus is the perception of sound when there is no external sound present. It is commonly described as a ring, buzz, or hiss in the ears. The symptoms can vary from person to person. Some may only hear it when in a quiet room, while others hear it all the time.

Hearing aids identify sounds in the surrounding environment and convert them into a digital signal. The ear wax is our ears natural way of protecting themselves from dirt and dust, water, and foreign objects (even insects!). Ear wax is only produced in the outer third of the ear canal and for most people, their ears will clean themselves. 

Tinnitus comes in many forms, including ringing, buzzing, or clicking sounds. When tinnitus is present, there is often, but not always, an underlying hearing loss as well. A hearing test performed by a trained Audiologist is therefore recommended if there are concerns regarding tinnitus. While there is no scientifically proven tinnitus cure, there are several different tinnitus treatment options available that may help to improve your quality of life.

Tinnitus is any sound that we hear, that is not present in our surrounding environment. This can include a ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sound in one or both ears, occurring occasionally or constantly. Some may find it distressing.

The diagnosis of a hearing loss can itself be overwhelming, let alone deciding whether to proceed with hearing aids and if so, which brand and/or type. A discussion with an audiologist about the different options available is the first step. This may include looking at the shape of your ear, the degree of hearing loss, and the types of features the hearing aids have that best suit your needs.
