In-Home Tinnitus Assessment & Management in Abuja
Ringing, buzzing, hissing or humming that nobody else can hear is called tinnitus. It is common, it is real, and it can usually be made much easier to live with. We assess it properly and build a plan with you at home.
What the assessment covers
Full hearing test
Most tinnitus comes with some hearing loss, even if you have not noticed it. Treating the hearing loss often reduces the tinnitus.
Tinnitus profile
We measure the pitch and loudness of your tinnitus and use a validated questionnaire to see how much it affects sleep, focus and mood.
Trigger review
Noise exposure, medication, blood pressure, jaw tension, stress and caffeine. Together we look for the factors you can change.
How we help you manage it
Sound therapy
Sound generators and hearing aids with built-in tinnitus programs that make the ringing less noticeable.
Counselling
An evidence-based explanation of what tinnitus is and why the brain focuses on it, which is the core of reducing distress.
Sleep strategies
Practical bedroom setups for quiet nights, especially when the generator goes off and the silence makes tinnitus louder.
When to see an ENT doctor first
Tinnitus in one ear only, tinnitus that pulses in time with your heartbeat, or tinnitus that comes with sudden hearing loss or dizziness needs a medical review. We will refer you directly to an ENT consultant.
Frequently asked questions
Can tinnitus be cured?
Sometimes the cause can be treated, for example impacted wax or a medication side-effect. For most people the aim is to make tinnitus fade into the background, and that is very achievable.
Is generator noise causing my tinnitus?
Long-term exposure to loud noise, including large generators, is a common cause of noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus. A hearing test shows whether noise damage is involved.
