The link between certain medications and tinnitus is undeniable as the list grows - do you see any of your medications on this list?

Tinnitus is a chronic symptom characterized by a sound ‘heard’ in one or both ears, when there is no actual external sound present.

Often described as a ringing, buzzing, roaring, clicking or hissing - tinnitus can be continuous or intermittent, and vary in pitch and loudness. It can even be pulsatile (in tune with your heartbeat).

It is most often linked to auditory damage, earwax, certain illness or disease, head and neck injuries in addition to certain medications.

Varying from slight to severe in nature, its impact can range from slightly annoying to severely debilitating, with deleterious effects on concentration, work and sleep - causing anxiety, stress and elevating your risk of depression.

What are your first steps?
* See your Audiologist for a tinnitus evaluation
* Ask your doctor or Ear, Nose and Throat specialist

Although stopping or changing medication can sometimes help- it is simply not always an option. You should always check with your Doctor about any prescription questions or changes to see what is medically best for you.

Treating underlying causes of tinnitus (such as hearing loss) can help you manage your tinnitus - contact Sound Hearing Care today to schedule your tinnitus evaluation!

Hearing loss can be a side effect of ototoxic medication and drugs. Find out which drugs can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

Myth: Hearing aids restore hearing to normal.
Fact: Hearing aids make sounds easier to hear and help with communication, but they cannot fully replace natural hearing. https://bit.ly/4pjMXrI

Listening to sounds above safe levels for long periods can damage hearing over time. Keeping volume lower and giving your ears regular breaks helps reduce the risk. https://bit.ly/4srTZ0A

We’re starting the new year by clearing up a common hearing myth. Many people think there’s nothing you can do about hearing loss, but that isn’t always true.

It's funny how travel costs money, but makes us richer. Keep your brain younger, maintain good hearing health.
