Tinnitus Treatment in Denver and Surrounding Areas
What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head when no external noise is present. The brain receives signals from the auditory nerve that a sound exists, even when there isn’t one. This can cause distraction, fatigue, stress, and anxiety.
Common Causes of Tinnitus
Hearing Loss
Prolonged Exposure to Loud Noises
Earwax Buildup
Stress and Anxiety
Medications
Sinus and Allergy Issues
Diet
Head or Neck Injuries
TMJ (jaw joint) Disorders
Medical Conditions Affecting Circulation or Inflammation
(e.g., high blood pressure, hypothyroidism)
Types of Tinnitus
Objective Tinnitus
Subjective Tinnitus
The far more common type, experienced only by the individual. Usually related to inner ear or auditory nerve damage and often manageable but not curable.

How Is Tinnitus Treated?
There is currently no universal cure for tinnitus. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Our approach includes a combination of medical evaluation, hearing technology, and counseling.
Hearing Test
A comprehensive hearing evaluation identifies hearing loss, wax blockage, or other ear disorders that may contribute to tinnitus.
Hearing Aids
Modern hearing aids can reduce tinnitus symptoms by amplifying external sounds and including special features designed to mask or cancel tinnitus noises. These devices are customized to your specific hearing needs and tinnitus profile.
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)
When hearing aids or masking aren’t enough, TRT can help retrain your brain to ignore tinnitus sounds by using soothing background noise like ocean waves or chimes, promoting relaxation over months or years.
Medication
Though no medications are FDA-approved specifically for tinnitus, some drugs may help reduce anxiety, stress, or depression caused by tinnitus. A physician consultation can help determine if medication might be appropriate.
Stress Management
Lifestyle choices such as regular exercise, yoga, meditation, massage, and counseling can improve circulation, increase endorphins, reduce stress, and lessen tinnitus impact.
