Your favorite music… phone calls with clients… conversations over lunch… the voices of children… Are you hearing them? Really hearing them? Or have you noticed that:

  • Everyone seems to be mumbling these days?
  • You have to keep asking people to speak up or repeat themselves?
  • You struggle to decipher conversations from the background noise in crowded places like parks, parties or restaurants?
  • Hearing people on the telephone is hard?
  • You keep cranking up the volume on the TV?

These symptoms are more than just annoying; hearing loss can lead to feelings of panic, loss and even grief and hopelessness—but don’t lose hope—get help!

Turn On, Tune In and Enjoy Listening Again

The “Sounds of Silence” have their place, but not when you need and want to hear what is going on around you. 28 million Americans suffer from some level of hearing loss; yet only one in five of these people have visited with their local hearing specialists about getting their hearing back. In fact, only 17% of people over 50 have had their hearing checked, and this is a high-risk population for hearing loss.

There is absolutely no reason to continue missing out on conversations, music, classes, business meetings—the fabulous banquet of sounds all around you—especially when today’s technology provides us with so many excellent and innovative hearing solutions! We can help you with the following services to restore lost hearing and boost your quality of life:

  • Hearing Tests—When our Arlington hearing specialists run hearing tests, many of our patients are shocked to discover how far advanced their hearing loss really is and what they’ve been missing. Many of them knew there was a problem, but didn’t realize their hearing loss was so advanced. This is because most hearing loss comes on so gradually that most patients do not notice it initially. If you struggle with any of the symptoms listed above, and particularly if you are 50 or older, call and schedule an appointment for our high-tech hearing tests. We have a Verifit Real Ear Machine and professional sound booths made for iPhone lab—all for the most precise and insightful hearing tests in Washington D.C.
  • Hearing Aids and Hearing Instruments—We carry all of the most advanced styles and brands of hearing aids. Our hearing aids even come with iPhone and iPad connectivity, free batteries and a 30-day return policy. It is important to us that we find you the right pair of hearing aids to make life sound great again, and we will go the extra mile to make sure you get them!

Can Tinnitus be Cured by Wearing Hearing Aids?

By

Man with constant ringing in his ears thinking about getting a hearing aid.

It’s often not clear what’s causing tinnitus (a ringing or buzzing in your ears). But one thing we know for certain is that if you have hearing loss your chance of developing tinnitus goes up. According to HLAA as much as 90 percent of individuals who experience tinnitus also have hearing loss.

Your lifestyle, age, and genetics can all take part in the development of hearing loss as you most likely know. Frequently, moderate instances of hearing loss go undetected and hearing loss, in general, isn’t always obvious. Even mild cases of hearing loss will increase your chance of tinnitus, making the situation even worse.

It’s Not a Cure, But Hearing Aids Can Help Manage Tinnitus

Tinnitus doesn’t have a cure. However, your symptoms can be minimized and your life can be improved by wearing hearing aids to manage your hearing loss and tinnitus. Sixty percent of people struggling with tinnitus, in fact, experienced relief of their symptoms, and twenty-two had substantial improvement.

When you can suddenly hear outside sounds better because hearing aids have boosted the volume, your tinnitus symptoms will go into the background. The good news is that there are other, more advanced solutions beyond just conventional hearing aids to manage the symptoms related to tinnitus.

Types of Specialty Hearing Aids to Lessen Tinnitus Symptoms

Hearing aids boost the level of environmental sounds to the point that you can hear them clearly. Even though it may be simple in design, that amplification of noise, be it the rabble of a dinner party or the clank of a ceiling fan, is crucial in teaching your brain to receive certain stimulations again.

You can augment those amplification efforts by the combination of other strategies, like counseling, sound stimulation, and stress reduction for a more comprehensive approach to treatment.

Fractal tones and irregular rhythms are even being utilized by some hearing aid makers. These rhythmically inconsistent tones can distract from the persistent and regular tones tinnitus sufferers experience.

Blending the normal sounds you hear with your tinnitus sounds is the goal of other advanced hearing aid options. Your condition and ear have very personal needs and this strategy will use a personalized white noise that will be dialed-in by your hearing professional.

Whether it’s through sound therapy, blending, or a white noise mechanism, all of these specialized devices have a common goal of distracting the user away from the ringing or buzzing of tinnitus.

It’s true that there is no cure for tinnitus, but for at least some people, hearing aids help decrease symptoms and improve your quality of life.
