A common contributor to hearing loss is noise exposure. Over time, exposure to loud sounds can contribute to significant hearing loss. Eventually, this damage may become irreversible. Age is another factor that can affect individuals with hearing loss. Typically, hearing loss is inevitable when we age due to the decreased function of neurons in the auditory system, which reduces hearing sensitivity. There can be issues with the outer, middle, and inner ear. If you have an excessive build-up of earwax or infections of your auditory canal, this can also affect your hearing.

The ringing in your ears, or tinnitus, starts in your inner ear. Often, it can be caused by damage to or the loss of sensory hair cells in the cochlea of your inner ear. Tinnitus can present in various ways, including sounds relating to the ocean, ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking, or whooshing. If you are experiencing any of these noises, give us a call today for a consultation.
