When it comes to tinnitus, there is a TON of misinformation out there. Join Dr. Ben as he busts the top 10 most common myths about tinnitus, and remember - there are many things that can be done to help manage bothersome tinnitus. 

Dr. Chris Spankovich, AuD, PhD recently joined Dr. Ben on the Tinnitus Relief Podcast to "demystify" tinnitus. Although there is not always one specific root cause of tinnitus that can be pinned down, there are many components of tinnitus that are similar from individual to individual. Being able to identify some of these causes and components can remove some of the mystery around tinnitus and help those with the condition to better understand it.

Scientists, researchers, and medical professionals are constantly working around the clock to find a cure for tinnitus, but until that happens, there are various methods that have proven to be effective for reducing and managing tinnitus. Join Dr. Michelle as she shares her knowledge on tinnitus treatment and reviews some of the best management options. 

As of now, there is no objective test for diagnosing tinnitus, which is an issue that Dr. Mehrnaz Shoustarian and her team at the Bionics Institute in Melbourne, Australia are trying to fix. Tinnitus diagnosis and treatment is tricky since clinicians can only rely on self-reported symptoms, so an objective test has the potential to change tinnitus treatment forever.

Dr. Ben, Dr. Tracy, and Dr. Michelle are back with their monthly "Sound Science" series. In this episode, they discuss two new research studies and how they can help you manage tinnitus. If you've come across studies that you want them to discuss on the next episode, leave a comment below!

When I was working at an audiology residency in San Francisco, I had a patient drive FOUR HOURS to the hospital where I was working just to find help for their tinnitus. At this moment, I realized the immediate need for accessible help for tinnitus patients. I wanted to make this happen, and this was a huge contributing factor in me deciding to start Treble Health.

Can allergies lead to tinnitus? Since the ears, nose, and throat are all connected, having allergies can lead to congestion, which can potentially lead to tinnitus. Listen to Dr. Ben explain how the two are linked, and how to manage tinnitus caused by allergies. 

Even audiologists deal with ear pain! A few weeks ago, I was on a trip where I decided to do some cliff jumping. Unfortunately, I ended up getting water in my ear, which led to some of the worst ear pain I have ever experienced. As an audiologist, this is what I did.
