Tinnitus and Hyperacusis: Rewiring your Mind for Positive Thinking

2 weeks ago | healthyhearing.com | Glenn Schweitzer

When you live with bothersome tinnitus, hyperacusis, or any other chronic condition that severely affects quality of life, the world can seem a lot more menacing. As symptoms fluctuate or progress over time and normal life starts to feel more like a distant memory, it can become very difficult to feel positive about anything at all. With tinnitus and other sound tolerance conditions, recovery is always possible through a process known as habituation, but there is no quick fix.
When hearing causes pain or anxiety

2 months ago | healthyhearing.com | Madeleine Burry

When it comes to tinnitus habituation, setbacks are normal

Jan 8, 2025 | healthyhearing.com | Glenn Schweitzer

Tinnitus is a solvable problem. If you’re suffering right now, it may be hard to believe, but it’s true. No matter how loud it feels or how it began, complete and lasting relief is always possible through a process called habituation. But the journey isn’t easy, and the road to relief is never linear, where each day feels a little bit better than the day before. Instead, it feels like taking three steps forward, two steps back, over and over again.

Hearing aids transform lives, reconnecting millions of people with hearing loss to the world around them.

I have tinnitus. Here’s how I get a good night’s sleep.

If you talk to enough people who have chronic tinnitus, one thing becomes clear quickly: It’s a challenge to get a good night sleep when you live with constant ringing in your ears. In the dark stillness and quiet of the bedroom, tinnitus takes center stage night after night, and it can quickly turn your life into a living nightmare.

Why certain words are harder to hear with hearing loss - understanding the 'speech banana'

Sep 16, 2024 | healthyhearing.com | Linda Childers |Melissa Schnitzspahn

Did you say...Share or chair? ...Throne or phone? ...Back or bag? Have you ever wondered why you can hear some sounds perfectly well, but struggle to hear certain words? This is known as a loss of speech clarity, and it's a common sign of mild to moderate hearing loss. Human speech is spoken at a relatively low volume across many different pitches, and at different speeds. This means even a slight decrease in your hearing ability can vastly change the meaning you pull from a spoken sentence.
Eustachian Tube Dysfunction - Symptoms and Causes

Sep 9, 2024 | healthyhearing.com | Madeleine Burry |Melissa Schnitzspahn

The eustachian tube connects your middle ear to your throat. Its chief job is to equalize ear pressure, but it also allows fluid to drain from the middle ear, which is important if you have a cold. When the eustachian tube doesn't open or close properly, it's known as eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). This can lead to ear pressure, pain, or hearing problems. ETD is a fairly common problem, especially among kids.

When you’re getting your hearing checked, experts deploy a variety of tests.
