Tinnitus Treatment & Evaluation in Vijayawada
Tinnitus — a ringing, hissing, buzzing or cricket-like sound with no external source — affects sleep, concentration and mood. It is a symptom, not a disease, and it almost always has an identifiable cause: noise exposure, wax, middle-ear problems, hearing loss, medication or stress.
We measure the pitch and loudness of your tinnitus, look for the underlying cause with special site-of-lesion tests, and build a management plan combining sound therapy, hearing aids where indicated, and structured counselling.
Who is this for?
- Constant or intermittent ringing, buzzing or hissing in one or both ears
- Tinnitus that disturbs sleep or concentration
- Sudden hearing loss with tinnitus (treat urgently)
- Noise-exposed workers and musicians
- Patients being screened for cochlear vs 8th nerve pathology
