Living with tinnitus can be challenging, but many treatment options can help manage the sounds you hear. At Valley Audiology & Hearing Center, Dr. Bome works with you to create a personalized plan for tinnitus relief.

Understanding Your Tinnitus

Each person experiences tinnitus differently. When you visit our office, we start with a comprehensive evaluation. We take time to hear your description of the sounds you experience and learn how they impact your daily activities. Through detailed testing, we measure the specific characteristics of your tinnitus and check for any underlying hearing loss that might be contributing to your symptoms.

Treatment Approaches

We offer several effective ways to manage tinnitus sounds. Sound therapy remains one of our primary treatment methods, using specialized devices that help reduce tinnitus awareness. Many patients benefit from hearing aids with built-in tinnitus masking features. We also incorporate relaxation techniques and sleep management strategies into your care plan.

Sound Therapy Options

Sound therapy can significantly reduce tinnitus awareness through various tools and techniques. White noise machines and nature sound generators create pleasant background sounds that make tinnitus less noticeable. Specialized tinnitus devices deliver customized sounds matched to your specific tinnitus frequency. Modern hearing aids often include built-in sound features, and we can recommend helpful phone apps for additional relief.

Hearing Aids and Tinnitus

Many people with tinnitus experience hearing loss as well. Modern hearing aids serve multiple purposes in tinnitus management:

• Address underlying hearing loss
• Play soothing background sounds
• Reduce awareness of tinnitus
• Make environmental sounds more audible
• Help your brain focus away from tinnitus

Long-Term Support

Managing tinnitus requires ongoing care and adjustments. We maintain regular contact with our patients, adjusting treatments as needed and introducing new management strategies when appropriate. Our team stays current with the latest tinnitus research and treatment options, bringing you the most effective solutions available.
