Tinnitus

Tinnitus Treatments for Stamford, CT

Tinnitus is described as having constant ringing in the ears which can be brought on by a number of environmental, physiological, and psychological factors. Hearing loss, long-term exposure to loud sounds, and certain medications can all cause tinnitus. Whether you hear a ringing, buzzing, or clicking sound, the team at Greenwich ENT can help identify and treat your tinnitus.


Tinnitus may be an intermittent or continuous sound in one or both ears. Its pitch can go from a low roar to a high squeal or whine, or it can have many sounds. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), approximately 25 million Americans suffer from Tinnitus. At Greenwich ENT, our team is able to treat a variety of ear and hearing disorders including Tinnitus.

Symptoms of Tinnitus

Tinnitus is not a disease but a symptom of an underlying condition. These conditions include age-related hearing loss, loud noise exposure, the buildup of earwax, head or neck injuries, TMJ disorders, and more. Because it involves the perception of hearing sound sounds (in one or both ears), it is commonly associated with the hearing system. Various parts of the hearing system, including the inner ear, are often responsible for this symptom.


Common symptoms of tinnitus include:


  • Constant high- or low-pitched ringing in ears
  • Intermittent or constant roaring in ears
  • Pulsation or beating noises in ears
  • Associated with or without hearing loss


Most tinnitus is primary tinnitus, where no cause can be identified aside from hearing loss. Secondary tinnitus is associated with a specific underlying cause that may be treatable. An ENT specialist can help distinguish whether your tinnitus is primary or secondary.
