Diagnosing Tinnitus at Cleveland Clinic As you start down the road towards tinnitus management, your healthcare providers will take the time to talk to you about the details of this condition as you go. This starts with discussing what tinnitus is, the types and why you might have it. There are two types of tinnitus that you can have: Somatosensory tinnitus: Sounds your brain perceives when you move the muscles in your jaw or neck. Subjective tinnitus: Sounds only you can hear. When it comes to why this is happening to you, there might not be a simple answer. Tinnitus can have many causes. Our approach means you see a team of specialty providers to find the best ways to manage it. Before scheduling your appointment, we ask you to: Have a hearing test during the six months before your appointment: Understanding how hearing loss may be contributing to the tinnitus helps us determine next steps. See a doctor who works on the ear, nose and throat (called an otolaryngologist): They’ll make sure you don’t have any conditions that need to be medically or surgically treated first. Then you’ll have two sessions with our experts. You begin with a 1.5- to 2-hour small group educational session. You’re not alone during this appointment. You’ll be with other people who are experiencing tinnitus. During this session, our specialists talk about causes of tinnitus and explain strategies for managing symptoms. The second session includes an in-person individual screening with each of your providers. That’s when we’ll provide recommendations for managing your tinnitus. You’ll also get a report outlining everything we discuss with you. We believe in working as a team to take care of you. With this approach, there are a variety of different healthcare providers you’ll work with, including: Neurologist Our neurology experts talk with you about your medical history and look at the muscles and bones in your head and neck. They review any medications and supplements you take to see if tinnitus may be a side effect. Dentist Cleveland Clinic dental experts examine your neck, jaw and bite (how your teeth come together). They look at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jawbone to your skull, for signs of TMJ disorders . Audiologist Our audiology (hearing) experts determine whether sound therapy would be effective in helping you manage tinnitus. Locations We offer treatment for tinnitus at the following locations in Northeast Ohio, Florida and London. Tinnitus Treatment at Cleveland Clinic When your tinnitus has an underlying medical cause, a specialist typically treats that condition first. But sometimes, there’s no clear-cut reason why tinnitus is happening. When that’s the case, our experts work with you to create personalized treatment plans that help you manage tinnitus symptoms. We offer: Cognitive behavioral therapy and other behavioral therapies Tinnitus can cause – and result from – anxiety and stress . We teach you strategies to cope with anxiety. We also offer mindfulness training to help distract you from tinnitus. Coping strategies We help you manage how tinnitus affects your life. Strategies include: Auditory distraction: We teach you to distract yourself from tinnitus by creating a sound-enriched environment. We recommend white noise such as a fan or low-level television sounds for you to focus on. Sound therapy: Our audiologists may recommend a device worn in the ear to help you listen to sounds other than tinnitus. We may also recommend headphones or earbuds playing sounds you enjoy. Oral appliances Cleveland Clinic dental experts may recommend oral appliances like nightguards to ease muscle pain in your jaw and neck. Medical management Our experts may suggest adjusting certain medications or supplements when tinnitus is a side effect. Physical therapy We may recommend you see a physical therapist who will design exercises to strengthen your jaw, neck and back. They may teach you how to stretch your neck and shoulders. Taking the Next Step With tinnitus, there’s often no one answer on how to make it go away. It can take several different treatments that you do all at the same time to find relief.

## Diagnosing Tinnitus at Cleveland Clinic As you start down the road towards tinnitus management, your healthcare providers will take the time to talk to you about the details of this condition as you go. This starts with discussing what tinnitus is, the types and why you might have it. There are two types of tinnitus that you can have: - **Somatosensory tinnitus:** Sounds your brain perceives when you move the muscles in your jaw or neck. - **Subjective tinnitus:** Sounds only you can hear. When it comes to why this is happening to you, there might not be a simple answer. Tinnitus can have many causes.

You’ll be with other people who are experiencing tinnitus. During this session, our specialists talk about causes of tinnitus and explain strategies for managing symptoms. The second session includes an in-person individual screening with each of your providers. That’s when we’ll provide recommendations for managing your tinnitus. You’ll also get a report outlining everything we discuss with you. We believe in working as a team to take care of you. With this approach, there are a variety of different healthcare providers you’ll work with, including: ### Neurologist Our neurology experts talk with you about your medical history and look at the muscles and bones in your head and neck. They review any medications and supplements you take to see if tinnitus may be a side effect. ### Dentist Cleveland Clinic dental experts examine your neck, jaw and bite (how your teeth come together). They look at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jawbone to your skull, for signs of [TMJ disorders](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15066-temporomandibular-disorders-tmd-overview). ### Audiologist Our audiology (hearing) experts determine whether sound therapy would be effective in helping you manage tinnitus. ## Locations We offer treatment for tinnitus at the following locations in Northeast Ohio, Florida and London. ## Tinnitus Treatment at Cleveland Clinic When your tinnitus has an underlying medical cause, a specialist typically treats that condition first.

Strategies include: - **Auditory distraction:** We teach you to distract yourself from tinnitus by creating a sound-enriched environment. We recommend white noise such as a fan or low-level television sounds for you to focus on. - **Sound therapy:** Our audiologists may recommend a device worn in the ear to help you listen to sounds other than tinnitus. We may also recommend headphones or earbuds playing sounds you enjoy. ### Oral appliances Cleveland Clinic dental experts may recommend oral appliances like [nightguards](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/10910-mouthguards) to ease muscle pain in your jaw and neck. ### Medical management Our experts may suggest adjusting certain medications or supplements when tinnitus is a side effect. ### Physical therapy We may recommend you see a physical therapist who will design exercises to strengthen your jaw, neck and back. They may teach you how to stretch your neck and shoulders. ## Taking the Next Step With tinnitus, there’s often no one answer on how to make it go away.
