Did you know that certain routines can make your tinnitus less of a distraction? Start by tracking what seems to worsen your tinnitus; some people notice changes with alcohol, caffeinated beverages, salty or spicy foods, or certain medications.

Many people also find it helpful to mask tinnitus with relaxing or distracting sounds (like music or a fan). Ask your hearing specialist about additional tinnitus management techniques during your next visit!

Modern hearing aids, including those with AI-assisted listening, are true marvels!

For instance, many of these hearing aids can reduce the effort it takes for your brain to process certain sounds over time.

Ringing in your ears can feel exhausting, but if you already wear hearing aids, relief might be closer than you think. Wearing your devices regularly can help reduce listening stress and anxiety, and turning up amplified background sound may help cover up the tinnitus so your brain can focus on ambient noise instead.

If you have hearing loss and tinnitus, talk with your hearing specialist about the settings on your devices and how to use them for tinnitus support!
