At NeuroHear, we recognize that tinnitus is more than just an ear issue, it is a brain-based condition that can interfere with your focus, sleep, and quality of life. That’s why we take a comprehensive and compassionate approach to tinnitus evaluation and care. Whether you hear ringing, buzzing, humming, or whooshing sounds when no external noise is present, you are not alone, and relief is possible. We are here to help you understand what is happening with your hearing and develop a plan to help you manage your tinnitus.
What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus involves the perception of sound without an external source. It can present as ringing, buzzing, whooshing, or other phantom noises, and while it may seem like it is coming from your ears, the real source is in your brain. When the hair cells in your inner ear are damaged due to aging, noise exposure, or other factors, they send disorganized signals to your brain. Your brain tries to make sense of these incomplete messages, essentially “filling in the blanks” with sound. This is how tinnitus is created.

How the Brain Contributes to Tinnitus
Your brain does not just receive sound, it also processes and prioritizes it. When there is a lack of input from the ears, your brain can begin to focus more intensely on the missing sounds, which increases the perception of tinnitus. This heightened attention can cause the phantom sound to feel louder or more persistent. Stress and anxiety can further amplify this cycle. When your brain’s fight-or-flight system is activated, it can intensify how you perceive the ringing, making it more intense. Understanding this is essential to effectively managing tinnitus.
Your Tinnitus Evaluation at NeuroHear
Everyone’s experience with tinnitus is different, and your care plan should reflect that. When you visit NeuroHear for tinnitus, Dr. Ina Selita will take the time to understand your symptoms, your lifestyle, and how tinnitus affects you. We will conduct a series of advanced tests to assess how your ears and brain process sound. From there, we will walk you through what is happening in your auditory system and create a personalized plan that may include sound therapy, hearing aids, stress-reduction techniques, or referral to other specialists if needed.
