That constant ringing, buzzing, or whistling in your ears can be maddening—and you’re not the only one dealing with it.

With over 100 years of combined clinical experience, we’re committed to helping you understand your tinnitus and discover effective solutions.
What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external sound is present. You might hear ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, or roaring—and the sound can be constant or intermittent. While tinnitus itself isn’t a disease, it’s often a symptom of an underlying hearing condition or other health issue. Common causes include exposure to loud noise, hearing loss, ear infections, and age-related changes in the inner ear.
Tinnitus can range from mildly annoying to severely disruptive. Many people find it worsens in quiet environments and can interfere with sleep and concentration. The emotional toll of chronic tinnitus—anxiety, frustration, and decreased quality of life—is just as important to address as the physical symptoms.
Why Assessment Matters
Not all tinnitus is the same, and not all treatments work the same way. A thorough assessment helps us understand the source of your tinnitus and identify the best management strategy for your situation. We’ll evaluate your hearing, review your medical history, and discuss how tinnitus is affecting your daily life.
