Tinnitus

Can Tinnitus Be Cured?

As with most conditions, the exact cause must first be determined before the condition can be cured. Unfortunately, in most cases, it is not possible to diagnose the cause of tinnitus with any degree of certainty. However, when careful assessment by specialists points to a specific underlying disorder, appropriate treatment may lead to improvement or even the elimination of tinnitus symptoms.

The following medical conditions, if found to be associated with tinnitus, and cured or treated with medication or surgery, may lessen, reduce, or even eliminate the noise associated with tinnitus:
