Ringing, buzzing, or hissing in your ears with no outside source? Tinnitus is common, and while it’s rarely dangerous, the right evaluation can find a treatable cause and bring relief. Get same-day, ENT-focused care for tinnitus, in person or by video.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound, like ringing, buzzing, hissing, or roaring, when there’s no outside source making it. It’s a symptom rather than a disease, and it often points to something else going on, most commonly hearing loss, noise exposure, or earwax. Tinnitus can be constant or come and go, affect one ear or both, and is usually most noticeable in quiet settings. It’s very common and rarely a sign of something serious, but tinnitus in only one ear, or a pulsing kind that beats with your heartbeat, is worth having checked.
Same-day appointments available. Most insurance accepted.
Tinnitus almost always has something behind it, and finding that cause is the key to relief. Earwax, hearing loss, noise damage, and certain medications are common culprits. An ENT-focused exam and a hearing test help pinpoint what’s driving the sound.
During your visit, your ENT provider may look in the ear, check for wax or fluid, review your medications and noise exposure, and arrange a hearing test to check for related hearing loss.
Virtual ENT care works well for reviewing your symptoms and history, talking through what's making the tinnitus worse, and building a plan to manage it.
An in-person visit may be needed to look in the ear, remove wax, or run a hearing test, especially if your tinnitus is in one ear or paired with hearing changes.
