Tinnitus management

Understanding and living better with tinnitus 

Tinnitus is the sensation of noise or sound in the ears or head, in the absence of an external sound source. People suffering from tinnitus often perceive sounds such as buzzing, hissing, clicking or any other kind of noise, which may be constant or intermittent. These noises can vary in intensity and frequency, making them particularly disturbing for sufferers. Although tinnitus is not usually a sign of immediate danger to health, it can have a considerable impact on quality of life, disrupting sleep, concentration and provoking anxiety.

Comprehensive hearing assessment and management of tinnitus

Our approach begins with a comprehensive hearing assessment by a qualified audiologist. This helps us better understand your hearing condition and identify whether your tinnitus is related to hearing loss or other possible causes, such as circulatory disorders, stress or prolonged exposure to loud noises.

Personalized meeting to understand and manage tinnitus

Following the assessment, we propose a personalized meeting to discuss your symptoms and the possible causes of tinnitus. The aim of this meeting is to inform you about the nature of tinnitus, explain the underlying mechanisms and explore concrete strategies for mitigating its impact on your daily life. We’ll look at a number of different approaches, including :

• Sound therapies, which use background sounds to mask or attenuate the perception of tinnitus.
• Managing stress and anxiety, which can aggravate tinnitus symptoms.
• Education on contributing factors, to better understand how to manage triggers and adopt behaviors that promote well-being.
