Tinnitus Relief

Experiencing buzzing and ringing in your ears? Visit a specialist in Singapore for tinnitus management and treatment, and provide relief for the constant ringing in your ears.

While all of us may experience symptoms of tinnitus occasionally, it should only last seconds if not minutes. It is when tinnitus becomes so persistent and loud that it disturbs an individual from focusing on his usual activities in life, such as studying, watching TV, and sleeping, that it becomes a cause for concern.

This is when tinnitus has a deeper negative impact on the individual’s quality of life. It is disruptive, uncomfortable, and unpleasant. If unchecked, it can often lead to stress, unhappiness, and eventually depression.

What Is The Cause Of Tinnitus?

There are a number of reasons for the onset of persistent tinnitus but among the most common is exposure to loud noises without the use of hearing protection. This results in a sudden and permanent loss of hearing in some frequencies.

This can be as a result of noise in your daily work routine or environment and even leisure activities such as noises from operating machinery such as lawn mowers, long distance motorcycling, chainsaws, playing musical instruments or listening to music at levels which are unhealthy for hearing preservation.

Tinnitus Treatment

There is no clinically proven permanent cure for tinnitus, despite what many websites and marketing messages say. However it is possible to get relief using a variety of methods.

What are the available tinnitus relief solutions in Singapore? One of the more common options for tinnitus relief is through the use of Tinnitus Control Instruments (TCIs). TCIs are hearing instruments that also incorporate a noise function.

The hearing instrument component of the TCI addresses auditory deprivation issues through the use of amplification. In many instances, tinnitus is a symptom of hearing loss and by feeding sounds to the auditory system of the sufferer, some of the tinnitus symptoms are alleviated.

However, hearing amplification does not help tinnitus when the environment is quiet. That is where the noisier component of the TCI is useful. The noisier component provides a soft noise to distract the patient from the tinnitus in situations where amplification from the hearing instrument portion is insufficient to provide relief to the sufferer.

What Are The Common Symptoms Of Tinnitus?

Tinnitus manifests as an in-ear sound perception. Sufferers may hear ringing, buzzing, chirping, hissing, clicking, roaring, or shrieking sounds persistently in one or both ears. The perceived sound loudness may vary; at times, sufferers may hear the sounds loudly or softly.

Tinnitus specialists in Singapore provide a range of TCI devices for users who need hearing amplification and tinnitus relief such as hearing aids. Contact a specialist at a hearing care centre to learn what the cost of tinnitus treatment in Singapore is and make the best possible decision for your hearing care with all the information you need to know.

I started experiencing loss of hearing sometimes in 2010 (41 years old) owing to some medical issue. I was having difficulties hearing conservation especially in meeting. Thus, giving me the fear in attending meeting.

Initially I started with Phonak hearing aid. It helps amplified the sound and I could hear better then. Somehow, my hearing loss deteriorated further that in late 2012 (43 years old), there was profound loss of hearing on my right ear. Even digital hearing aid could not help. On my left ear there is still about 50% to 60% hearing with hearing aid. I was lost at this point of time. I was considering learning sign language. I went to see my ENT specialist and my audiologist Mr. Bala advised me to go for an CI as an alternative to my hearing loss.

I also thank God for Engineer and Scientist, giving them the knowledge to create such a complex and sophisticate device to help those with hearing loss like me. It will be all perfect if the cost is affordable too.

She is very knowledgeable, and friendly, and we are encouraged to ask questions. she is also very patient with old people which is the most importance. Also her after service is superb so I highly recommend.

My mum, Madam Kek (73 year old) had the Cochlear implant (CI) done on her left side in 10th September 2019. Thereafter, thanks to the subsequent auditory verbal therapy, evaluation from SGH ENT team, as well as, the support from AB's and Listening Lab staffs; Madam Kek was able to hear, comprehend sound and music from her Cochlear implant, Naida CI Q90, and hearing aid (HA), Naida Link UP, for her right side before end year. We are happy that both the CI and HA have improved mum qualify of life. Now Madam Kek is looking forward to work again to pass her time as she can hear and better communicate with others.

Titus was implanted when he was 18 months old. He is a happy, talkative 6.5 years old now. AB has been with him for 5 wonderful hearing years and we are looking forward to a bright future that lies ahead for him. AB’s Naída CI sound processors are reliable and the technology is constantly evolving and upgrading. When Titus was introduced to Naida Link CROS, his life was enriched. The wireless network established between his Naida CI sound processor and a Naida Link CROS transmitter allows him to hear from both ears. This changes Titus’s life and the way we interact with him. We are also very pleased with the prompt response and service provided to us. The staff in AB genuinely cares! We want to thank AB for making Titus’s hearing journey an enjoyable and a relatively stress free one!

I have been living with progressive hearing loss for more than three decades. Socially, I find myself fearful of communicating with people and at home, watching 'soundless' television programs is a norm.

An unforgettable experience. Trying on a pair of Resound GN hearing aid, I was energized and revitalized and overwhelmed with emotional tears of joy. The Resound GN is truly remarkable and uniquely equipped with three-friendly-user environmental modes that provide hearing comfort wherever we are.

In particular, I like to extend my utmost gratitude to Hearing Consultant. With her profound compassion and wisdom in guiding me, I am confident that I can forge a formidable partnership with the Listening Lab; So that I can rebuild a new chapter of a happy and value-creative life and simultaneously, leaving behind the painful memories of the past three decades.
