About Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing a sound, such as ringing, buzzing, hissing, humming or clicking, when there is no outside source. It can be soft or loud, constant or occasional, and may affect one ear or both. Tinnitus is a symptom rather than a disease. It is often linked to hearing loss, long exposure to loud noise, ear wax, ear infections, certain medicines, stress or problems in the ear, and it can affect sleep, concentration and mood.

At Centosa, our ENT specialists and audiologists look for the cause of your tinnitus and rule out conditions that need treatment. We use a detailed history, ear examination and hearing tests to guide the diagnosis. We then offer personalized care, from treating the underlying ear problem to hearing aids, sound therapy, counselling and relaxation strategies that help you notice the sound less and get back to restful sleep and focus.

Find the cause, ease the noise. With the right care, the ringing can fade into the background.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about tinnitus, ringing in the ears and how it can be managed.

When should I see an ENT doctor or audiologist for tinnitus?
Get checked if the ringing, buzzing or hissing lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, affects your sleep or concentration, or comes with hearing loss, ear pain, discharge or fullness. A check is also advised if the sound is in one ear only or beats in time with your pulse. Seek care urgently if tinnitus starts suddenly with sudden hearing loss, severe dizziness, facial weakness, or after a head injury. If tinnitus is making you feel very low or hopeless, please talk to a doctor soon.
What causes tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease on its own. The most common cause is hearing loss, whether from ageing or long exposure to loud noise. Other causes include ear wax, ear infections, fluid behind the eardrum, Meniere's disease, certain medicines, jaw or neck problems, stress and poor sleep. Less often, tinnitus is linked to blood vessel problems or a growth on the hearing nerve, which is why a proper check matters, especially when only one ear is affected.
How is tinnitus evaluated?
Evaluation begins with a detailed history, including what the sound is like, when it started and what makes it better or worse, followed by an ear examination. A hearing test (audiometry) checks for hearing loss, and tympanometry checks how the middle ear is working. Your audiologist may also match the pitch and loudness of your tinnitus. If the tinnitus is in one ear, pulsating, or comes with uneven hearing loss, you may be advised to have an MRI scan or other tests. These tests are painless.
Can tinnitus be cured or made less bothersome?
It depends on the cause. When tinnitus comes from a treatable problem such as ear wax, an infection or fluid behind the eardrum, it often settles once that problem is treated. When it is linked to long-term hearing loss, it may not go away completely, but it can usually be managed very well. Hearing aids, sound therapy, counselling and relaxation techniques help the brain pay less attention to the sound, so it becomes less intrusive over time. Be cautious of products that promise a quick cure, as none has been proven to work for everyone.
What can I do at home to cope with tinnitus?
Avoid complete silence, especially at night, and use soft background sound such as a fan, gentle music or nature sounds. Protect your ears from loud noise and keep headphone volume low. Some people notice that caffeine, alcohol or smoking makes the ringing worse, so cut back if you see a link. Regular sleep, exercise and relaxation or breathing exercises can reduce stress, which often makes tinnitus louder. Do not stop any prescribed medicine on your own, and do not put drops or objects in your ear. Speak to your doctor or audiologist about a plan that suits you.
