Does my tinnitus make my hearing worse?

Although tinnitus is a symptom of hearing change, it does not make your hearing worse. Sometimes, it can feel like it’s harder to hear when you have tinnitus, as it can distract you from listening or cover up soft sounds.

While there is no cure for tinnitus, there are many treatments to reduce the severity of your symptoms, including wearing hearing aids.

If tinnitus is affecting your quality of life, an Ear360 hearing health assessment can help identify what’s going on with your hearing and what type of tinnitus management may help. You can learn more about Ear360 by clicking here.
