Why tinnitus happens and why it can change
Why tinnitus happens and why it can change
Tinnitus is a sound you hear that is not coming from the outside world. In most cases, it is created by the brain rather than the ears themselves, and it is incredibly common.
Tinnitus often becomes more noticeable during quiet moments, periods of stress, fatigue, illness, certain medications, or as hearing changes. It can come and go, and this is completely normal. Even small changes in your overall health can affect how tinnitus feels from day to day.
The link between hearing and tinnitus
The link between hearing and tinnitus
Tinnitus and hearing are closely connected. Even a small change in hearing can make tinnitus seem louder or more intrusive.
This is why a hearing evaluation is such an important part of understanding tinnitus properly. It allows us to look at the full picture, not just the tinnitus itself, and identify any contributing hearing changes that may be influencing what you are experiencing.


What genuinely helps day to day
What genuinely helps day to day
Many people find tinnitus easier to manage with simple, practical strategies, including:
Background Noise
Gentle background sound instead of complete silence
Managing
Managing stress and fatigue
Hydration
Staying hydrated
Triggers
Understanding personal tinnitus triggers
Expectations
Having realistic expectations and reassurance
Most often, gaining a clearer understanding of tinnitus through an expert assessment can reduce how intrusive it feels and help restore a sense of control.
Modern tinnitus support and technology
Technology has come a long way. Many modern hearing devices now include specific tinnitus features, such as calming sound programmes, masking options, and advanced processing that reduces listening strain.
These tools can make it much easier to live with Tinnitus and far less disruptive to daily life.
You don’t have to just live with it
Many people are told there is nothing they can do about tinnitus, but that simply isn’t true.
With the right support, tinnitus can be understood, managed, and improved. This is something we help patients with every day, as Maryland's leading team of advanced Audiologists.
