Did you know that certain routines can make your tinnitus less of a distraction? Start by tracking what seems to worsen your tinnitus: some people notice changes with alcohol, caffeinated beverages, salty or spicy foods, or certain medications.

Many people also find it helpful to mask tinnitus with relaxing or distracting sounds (like music or a fan). Ask your hearing specialist about additional tinnitus management techniques during your next visit!

Ringing in your ears can feel exhausting, but if you already wear hearing aids, relief might be closer than you think. Wearing your devices regularly can help reduce listening stress and anxiety, and turning up amplified background sound may help cover up the tinnitus so your brain can focus on ambient noise instead.

If you have hearing loss and tinnitus, talk with your hearing specialist about the settings on your devices and how to use them for tinnitus support!

If your hearing aids don’t always feel ‘right’ in different places, newer AI-powered devices may help. Some AI hearing aids use machine-learning algorithms to analyze your sound environment and automatically adjust for a better listening experience.

If you’re a returning patient, bring a list of your “trouble spots” (restaurants, work meetings, family gatherings) to your next visit so your audiologist can match features to your lifestyle!

Today’s AI-enabled hearing aids learn from your environments and adapt automatically, which is great for busy, noisy days.

Set up location-based modes (home, office, favorite café) and ask us to prioritize the voices you hear most often for easier conversations. If listening still feels tiring, a quick fine-tune can reduce fatigue without sacrificing clarity.

Studies have shown a link between hearing loss and kidney disease. Researchers suspect that a combination of factors contribute to the connection, such as common co-morbidities, ototoxic medications and changes in blood flow.

Awareness is the first step toward better health. March is National Kidney Month, which makes it an ideal time to add a routine hearing check-up to your health checklist and a great time to talk to your doctor about other preventative health measures to take.
