About the Treatment
Understanding Tinnitus Clinic
Hearing a constant ringing, buzzing, hissing, whistling, or humming sound in your ears can be frustrating and distracting, especially when there is no external source of the sound. This condition, known as tinnitus, can affect concentration, sleep, work, and overall quality of life.
At Dr Hans' Centre for ENT, we provide comprehensive evaluation and personalized tinnitus management for children and adults. Since tinnitus is often a symptom of an underlying condition rather than a disease itself, our focus is on identifying the cause and developing an individualized treatment plan to help reduce its impact on your daily life.

What We Offer
Our Tinnitus Clinic Services
Tinnitus is commonly described as ringing in the ears, but it may also sound like buzzing, clicking, roaring, or humming. It can affect one or both ears and may be constant or intermittent.
Tinnitus may be associated with hearing loss, prolonged exposure to loud noise, ear infections, earwax buildup, certain medications, or other medical conditions. A detailed evaluation helps determine the possible cause and the most appropriate management approach.
Effective tinnitus management begins with a thorough assessment. Our ENT specialists review your symptoms, medical history, hearing health, and lifestyle before recommending appropriate investigations.
A comprehensive evaluation may include an ear examination, hearing assessment, and additional diagnostic tests when clinically indicated. Understanding the underlying cause allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan.
There is no single treatment that works for every patient with tinnitus. Management depends on the underlying cause, the severity of symptoms, and their impact on daily life.
Our specialists provide individualized treatment strategies that may include medical management, hearing rehabilitation, lifestyle guidance, and therapies designed to help patients better manage tinnitus over time.
Sound therapy uses carefully selected external sounds to reduce the awareness of tinnitus and improve listening comfort. Depending on individual needs, this may involve hearing aids, sound generators, or environmental sound enrichment.
Our team recommends sound therapy only after a detailed assessment and customizes the approach according to each patient's symptoms and hearing profile.
Living with tinnitus can sometimes lead to stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, or difficulty concentrating. Tinnitus counselling helps patients understand the condition, learn coping strategies, and develop practical techniques to reduce the emotional impact of persistent ear noise.
Education and reassurance are important parts of long-term tinnitus management, helping patients regain confidence and improve their overall well-being.
