Brant Audiology and Tinnitus provides tinnitus evaluations in Wyoming. 

Tinnitus is when you hear sounds like ringing, buzzing, hissing, or humming in your ears or head, but there is no actual noise around you. It’s like a noise only you can hear. 

It’s important to get tinnitus checked out because it can be a sign of other health problems, like hearing loss, ear infections, or nerve issues. Sometimes, it can be caused by medicines or loud noises.

An audiologist can help with tinnitus by doing special tests to find out why you hear ringing or buzzing in your ears. 

At Brant Audiology and Tinnitus, we check your hearing to see if you have any hearing loss and look for things that might be causing the tinnitus. 

We can suggest ways to manage the tinnitus and offer tips and support to help you feel better. 

Seeing an audiologist ensures you get the right treatment and support to manage your tinnitus effectively.

How common is tinnitus?

Tinnitus is very common. In the United States, about 15% of adults, or around 50 million people, experience some form of tinnitus. It can happen to anyone, but it’s more common in older adults. 

Many things can cause tinnitus, like being around loud noises, getting older, or having other health problems. Even though it’s common, tinnitus can be different for everyone, and it’s important to get it checked out by a doctor if you have it.

Tinnitus Evaluations

Evaluations for tinnitus help doctors figure out why someone is hearing sounds that aren’t really there, like ringing or buzzing.

Here’s how it usually works:

  • Hearing Test: The doctor will check your hearing to see if there’s any hearing loss.
  • Medical History: You’ll talk about your health and any medicines you take. This helps the doctor understand if something else might be causing the tinnitus.
  • Physical Exam: An audiologist will look inside your ears to check for earwax or infections.
  • Questionnaire: You might answer questions about how tinnitus affects your life. This helps the doctor understand how serious it is.
  • Imaging Tests: Sometimes, you might need special pictures of your head, like an MRI or CT scan, to look for other problems.
