What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is the perception of sound (ringing, buzzing, hissing, or clicking) in one or both ears when no external sound is present.

It is not a disease, but a symptom of an underlying issue.

It can be intermittent or constant, mild or severe, and can significantly affect quality of life.

How Dr. Peerbaccus Evaluates Tinnitus

At your consultation, Dr. Peerbaccus will:

– Perform a full ENT exam and hearing test (audiometry)
– Review your medical history and lifestyle

– Identify possible trigger factors (stress, jaw alignment, sinus pressure)

Treatment Approaches

While there is no “cure,” symptoms can be greatly reduced with the right approach:

– Sound therapy or masking devices
– Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT)
– Cognitive strategies to reduce distress
– Hearing aids if hearing loss is present
– Diet and lifestyle changes (reduce caffeine/sodium)

Neuromodulation treatment for Tinnitus

Neuromodulation refers to the process of altering nerve activity in the central, peripheral, or autonomic nervous systems to achieve a therapeutic effect. 

It involves using electrical or chemical agents to stimulate, inhibit, or modify neural activity, often for pain management, movement disorders, or other neurological conditions. 

Dr. Peerbaccus make use of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), which is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that uses weak electrical currents to modulate brain activity and help with tinnitus.
