Tinnitus Care
Tinnitus, the perception of ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ears, affects millions of Canadians. At Sense of Hearing, our Audiologists &/or Hearing Instrument Specialists provide comprehensive tinnitus assessments to identify the type, pitch, and severity of your tinnitus, followed by personalized management strategies designed to reduce its impact on your daily life. Treatment options may include sound therapy, hearing aids with tinnitus masking features, counselling techniques, and lifestyle recommendations. While there is currently no cure for most forms of tinnitus, effective management can significantly improve your quality of life.
Recognize the Sound
What does tinnitus sound like?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound that isn't coming from your environment. It can take many forms — describing what you hear helps your Audiologist &/or Hearing Instrument Specialist understand what's happening.
Ringing
A high-pitched, constant tone — the most commonly reported form of tinnitus.
Buzzing
A low electrical hum, sometimes described as the sound of a refrigerator or transformer.
Hissing
Like radio static or escaping steam — often associated with noise-induced hearing loss.
Pulsatile
A rhythmic whooshing, often in time with your heartbeat. Worth flagging to your Audiologist &/or Hearing Instrument Specialist.
Whichever you hear, our Audiologists &/or Hearing Instrument Specialists will help you measure, understand, and manage it.
