Tinnitus

What is Tinnitus ?

Tinnitus is associated with overactivity in the inner and outer ears. According to the American Tinnitus Association, tinnitus is the perception of sound when no actual external noise is present. Further, tinnitus can be both acute (temporary) and chronic (long-term).

Frequently Asked Questions

Tinnitus may be caused by overactivity in the auditory cortex. TMS can help reduce or eliminate ringing or noise by calming this overactive brain pathway. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Tinnitus, but our patients report about 35% reduction in overall symptoms. Where it was unbearable, it is now bearable. 

Every patient responds differently. Some report complete resolution, while others experience reduced intensity or more intermittent symptoms after TMS therapy. In general most patients can expect to see about a 35% reduction in symptoms. Some days they may have no 'noise' while other days it may be lessoned. 

TMS is considered safe. It has been studied extensively and approved by the FDA for nearly 20 years. Our team does a thorough intake to ensure your safety throughout the process. 

TMS works by using magnetic impulses to either inhibit overactive areas of the brain or excite underactive areas of the brain. The energy that is emitted stimulates neurons in the brain and can aid in relieving symptoms related to mood, energy, and cognitive function.

Many patients experience no side effects while undergoing TMS. Some patients report having a headache the first few days, which can go away with over-the-counter NSAIDs. 

Sessions relatively quick, with many lasting up to about 30 minutes, including set-up and stimulation. Staff will place a tracker on your face, and a coil on your head. You will feel mild to moderate taps on your head that have been described as a "woodpecker" sensation.  Our staff aims to be punctual and efficient with your treatment as we know many of our patients can have busy lives. 

Every patient is different. Some feel better right away, and some feel better after a few weeks. Your provider/technician will talk more with you about all of the normal reactions. 

Best results may be achieved with multiple sessions and combination therapies (e.g., CBT, sound therapy).

Unfortunately insurance will not cover the cost of treatment at this time. There is only a cash option. We can help you with either a payment plan or work with a third party called CareCredit with offers interest free payment plans.
