Have you ever turned off all sound at night only to suddenly notice your tinnitus becoming louder? Silence often makes tinnitus more prominent. At Advanced Hearing and Balance Specialists, we want you to understand why this happens and what you can do to find relief.
What Causes Tinnitus to Seem Louder in Silence?
Without external sounds, the brain focuses more on internal noises. This can make tinnitus stand out even though its true volume has not changed.
What Can You Do About Tinnitus in Quiet Places?
Introducing soft background sound, such as a fan or nature audio, can help reduce tinnitus perception. Modern hearing aids can also provide soothing sound programs.
When to See an Audiologist
If tinnitus interferes with concentration, sleep, or daily function, you should seek a professional evaluation.
How Audiologists Can Help
We provide tinnitus assessments and create personalized sound therapy strategies.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tinnitus Spikes
