Tinnitus, also known as ‘ringing in the ears,’ is a sign or symptom that something is not right with the auditory system which includes the ear, the auditory nerve that connects the inner ear to the brain, and the parts of the brain that process sound. The sound in the ears may manifest not just as ringing – though it is the most common description – but also as roaring, clicking, hissing, or even buzzing. The sound may at times seem soft and at other times, loud. The pitch may also alternate between high and low. One might hear it in just one ear, or in both. Any which way it appears, Tinnitus is not generated by external factors, and no one else but you can hear it.
If you or any of your family members or friends are experiencing any of the above, a specialized and experienced Ear Surgeon like
Dr. Shree Rao can help you make an informed decision about the best treatment option.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR TINNITUS
Though there is no absolute cure for Tinnitus, there are treatments that help patients cope better with the condition. On meeting ENT specialist Dr. Shree Rao, she will evaluate the patient to see if there is any hearing loss associated with the condition. A thorough Ear, Nose and Throat examination will be done and if required, a couple of audiological investigations and scans will be done to find out the underlying cause for Tinnitus. The treatment course to reduce the impact of Tinnitus will be determined based on this evaluation.
Treating the underlying cause for Tinnitus can often control it,
but there are times when it cannot be permanently cured. In these cases, Dr. Shree Rao will focus on providing supportive care.
- Tinnitus retraining therapy - will be provided by audiologists both physically and virtually for the convenience of patients
- Tinnitus masking devices - are the best and also help to a great extent when some amount of hearing loss is observed along with Tinnitus; the devices are available at Dr. Rao's ENT, where Dr. Shree can be consulted
- Medications -to calm you down and reduce Tinnitus to a limited extent
- Lifestyle modifications - such as meditation and calming exercises to reduce the effect of Tinnitus stress
- White noise sound machines – white noise emitting devices that help to calm you down and remove that continuous background noise in your ears
