If you’re experiencing persistent ringing, buzzing, or clicking in your ears, you’re not alone.
At Hearing Aids by Tricia Leagjeld, we understand how tinnitus can disrupt your daily life, from peaceful moments at Smith Rock to conversations at work.
Our Redmond and Bend clinics specialize in identifying the root causes of tinnitus and providing effective treatment options tailored to Central Oregon residents’ unique needs.
Expert Tinnitus Treatment Services in Redmond and Bend
Living at elevation in Redmond and Bend’s dry climate creates specific challenges for ear health. The combination of low humidity and altitude changes during outdoor activities can exacerbate tinnitus symptoms. Many residents notice increased ringing after hiking in the Cascades or during seasonal weather changes, while dramatic temperature swings and wind exposure can trigger episodes.
Our community’s active lifestyle presents unique tinnitus risks. Hunters experiencing firearm noise, construction workers operating heavy machinery, and aviation professionals at Roberts Field face heightened sound exposure. Many Redmond and Bend residents work in forestry, manufacturing, or other noise-intensive fields that increase their risk through accumulated exposure over time.
Understanding Your Tinnitus
Tinnitus affects nearly 15% of adults, yet each person’s experience is unique. Some hear high-pitched ringing that intensifies in quiet rooms, while others describe low humming sounds or rhythmic clicking patterns. The severity can range from mild background noise to overwhelming sounds that interfere with concentration and sleep. Our comprehensive evaluation process helps identify whether your tinnitus stems from hearing loss, medication side effects, blood vessel conditions, or stress-related factors.
Treatment Options That Work
Modern devices feature sophisticated sound therapy and masking capabilities that significantly reduce ringing perception. These precisely calibrated instruments work with your brain’s natural processes and incorporate artificial intelligence to adapt automatically between quiet homes and noisy restaurants. Our clinic offers cutting-edge devices with remote programming capabilities, allowing fine-tuning from anywhere for continuous symptom improvement without always driving into town.
Beyond hearing devices, we provide comprehensive tinnitus management strategies including customized sound therapy programs, stress reduction techniques specific to tinnitus sufferers, sleep improvement protocols for nighttime symptoms, and lifestyle modifications that minimize triggers. Our approach combines multiple treatment methods because we’ve found that addressing tinnitus from several angles produces the best long-term results for Central Oregon residents.
