Tinnitus
Management
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a symptoms
experienced by perhaps as much as 20 million
Americans. Although commonly called "ringing in
the ears", the sound quality might not be a
ringing sound at all. Some patients describe
the noise as "chirping," "frying," "roaring,"
"crickets," "electricity," etc. Sometimes this
noise is so loud that it interferes with
understanding speech. Many times the sound is
in both ears, whether simultaneously or not.
Frequently, this sound is a symptom of damage to
either the inner ear or nerve for hearing.
Sometimes, this noise is so loud, so
unremitting, and so distracting that it can
interfere with normal activities or sleeping.
Tinnitus management or retraining can help to
manage this noise so that one can return to
normal function.
Vestibular Testing
Dizziness is an extremely common complaint,
especially for patients over the age of 65. Our
physicians have a special interest in evaluating
patients with this troubling and frustrating
symptom. Our physicians will carefully listen
to your symptoms and perform the necessary
physical evaluation to determine the cause of
your dizziness. If necessary, additional
specialized testing, such as hearing tests or
Electronystagmography
(ENG),
can be
performed right in our office. Please follow
the link above to find out more about vestibular
testing at MCENTA.
Videostroboscopy
Speech is a fundamental human trait. Many
professionals depend on their voice for their
livelihood. However, anyone with persistent
hoarseness should have the larynx examined to
determine the cause of their voice change and to
improve the quality of their voice.
Videostroboscopy is a specialized test for
examining the function and motion of the vocal
folds. Please follow the link above to find out
more about videostroboscopy at MCENTA.
