Specialist Tinnitus Treatments
Tinnitus is a Symptom, Not a Disease
Tinnitus is most often understood as a symptom of disorders involving the outer ear (e.g. wax build-up or infection), the middle ear (infections or trauma to the eardrum or tiny middle ear bones (called the ossicles), the inner ear (hearing loss, infections or trauma) or the auditory nerve. It has, in fact, been with us since Roman Times, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. Famous sufferers include:
Michelangelo: “a spider’s web is hidden in one ear, in the other crickets sings throughout the night; I do not sleep.”
Beethoven:” my ear hums and buzzes, I can tell you I lead a miserable life.”
Martin Luther: “when I try to work, my head becomes filled with all kinds of whizzing, buzzing, thundering noises.”
Tinnitus and Its Psychological Impact
There are also links between tinnitus and psychological conditions, the use of certain medications (e.g. certain chemotherapeutic agents), head injuries, and even sleep deprivation. It resembles a kind of phantom pain, modulated by the central nervous system.
Tinnitus is subjective in nature; in that it is inaudible to anyone but the sufferer.
Tinnitus may be experienced in one/both ears and in the head.
It may be intermittent or constant.
It may occur in the presence of normal hearing or with any degree or type of hearing loss.
Because tinnitus is so intricately linked with sound perception, it is helpful to understand tinnitus against the background of how humans hear and perceive sound.
Tinnitus is a common auditory condition that affects many people, characterised by the perception of noise or ringing in the ears in the absence of any external sound.
Our clinic on the Sunshine Coast offers comprehensive tinnitus management solutions tailored to your personal needs, ensuring that you don't have to simply “live with it” anymore.
