Tinnitus Steals the Sound of Silence

If you are bothered by a high-pitched sound, buzzing, or shushing in one or both ears, you may have a condition called tinnitus, which effects a majority of the population at some point in their lives.

If you suffer from either conductive hearing loss or single-sided deafness and conventional hearing aids are not working well for you, consider talking with your doctor about the bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA). This hearing treatment, which is surgically implanted, works very well for people with specific types of hearing loss. The ENT (ear, nose, throat) head and neck surgeons at Cayuga Medical Center are performing this surgery with very positive results. It is a well-established approach to treating hearing loss and has improved the quality of life for a number of area residents.
