Tinnitus is the medical term for the sensation of hearing sound in your ears when no external sound is present. It affects 50 million Americans (nearly one in six of us). Most sufferers describe the sound as “ringing in the ears,” though others describe it as hissing, buzzing, whistling, roaring, and even chirping. We offer relief with patent-pending Multiflex Technology and products. We can create a customizable and comforting sound stimulus that we can fine-tune to soothe the unique, irritating sounds you hear and help take your focus off of it.

What causes tinnitus?

Scientists and health experts don’t know the exact physical cause of tinnitus, but several sources are known to trigger or make it worse, including:

  • Ototoxic medications – Some prescription medications, such as antibiotics, 
  • Anti-inflammatories and antidepressants can harm the inner ear and the nerve fibers connecting the cochlea to the brain.
  • Hearing conditions – Conditions such as otosclerosis and Ménière’s disease are known to cause tinnitus.
  • Health conditions – Tinnitus can also be a symptom of health conditions like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stress, and head injuries.
