Tinnitus Support and Help in the Peterborough and Marmora areas
If you experience a ringing, buzzing, or humming sound in your ears, you know how frustrating and debilitating it can be. A continuous high-pitched sound can prevent you from enjoying special moments and disrupt your daily life.
As Peterborough and Marmora tinnitus specialists, our team is expertly trained to address hearing and tinnitus challenges through a comprehensive management process. Unlike other practices, we believe that masking is not an effective long-term solution for tinnitus.
Many hearing care providers suggest that hearing aids are the only solution for tinnitus. However, while hearing aids can be a part of tinnitus management, they are not a stand-alone solution.
Whether you’ve struggled with tinnitus for years or are experiencing it for the first time, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with us. We are dedicated to helping you find relief and improve your quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tinnitus
How Do I Know if I Have Tinnitus?
Common symptoms of tinnitus include ringing, buzzing, humming, or other noises that seem to originate within your ears or head. If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, it is advisable to consult with a tinnitus specialist or a hearing professional for an evaluation.
Is Tinnitus Permanent?
Tinnitus can be either temporary or permanent. For some individuals, it is transient and may resolve on its own, especially if triggered by loud noise exposure. However, for those with prolonged exposure to loud noises or age-related hearing loss, tinnitus may be more persistent.
What Are the Common Triggers for Tinnitus?
Common triggers for tinnitus include exposure to loud noises, earwax blockage, changes in hearing, stress, and certain medications. Pulsatile tinnitus, which is related to vascular conditions, requires a different set of treatment options.
Can Stress Make Tinnitus Worse?
Yes, stress can exacerbate tinnitus symptoms, making them more noticeable and difficult to ignore. Stress management techniques are often part of a comprehensive tinnitus treatment plan.
Is Tinnitus Linked to Hearing Loss?
Yes, tinnitus is often linked to hearing loss. The lack of auditory stimulation due to hearing loss can cause the brain to generate its own noise, leading to tinnitus. Using hearing aids can help treat tinnitus for those with hearing impairment.
