What’s That Noise? SpookySounds or Signs of Tinnitus

When you’re sitting down at night trying to relax or lying in bed and all is quiet, have you ever heard a noise that you can’t seem to place? These phantom sounds don’t just occur during Halloween; they can happen any time of year and are known as tinnitus. Some methods of relief can include meditation, counseling, sound therapy, hearing aids, and tinnitus maskers.
To find an effective treatment plan for tinnitus, it’s important to first identify the leading cause. Treating the underlying cause of ringing in the ears will lessen your perception of it and may even eliminate it entirely.
How to Lessen the Perception of Tinnitus
Tinnitus can have many causes, some of the most common being:
- Medications
- Loud noise exposure
- Head trauma
- Stress/anxiety
- Ear blockage
- TMJ disorders
