Tinnitus

If you experience a constant ringing, buzzing, or even roaring in your ears, you may have tinnitus. It varies from person to person in terms of cause, severity, and the sound they hear, but in all cases, the noise they experience is not caused by any external stimuli. Tinnitus does not cause hearing loss; however, this condition can still have a negative impact on your life. Tinnitus can lead to difficulties with relationships, career challenges, and even disrupt your ability to simply sit back and enjoy your life.

Tinnitus may stem from a variety of causes. The most common causes, however, include exposure to loud noises, ototoxic drugs, excessive ear wax, and age-related hearing loss. Identifying the cause of your tinnitus is a critical step toward developing an individualized treatment plan. Depending on the cause and severity of your tinnitus symptoms, there are evidence-based treatment options to help address that ringing in your ears and offer you relief.

To treat your tinnitus symptoms, we may recommend tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), the use of hearing devices, counseling, and/or relaxation methods. At our Highlands Ranch tinnitus clinic, we provide a personalized, comprehensive approach to tinnitus treatment. Schedule an appointment with one of our audiologists and allow us to show you how much better your life can be.

Hyperacusis

Hyperacusis is defined as increased sensitivity to everyday noises, including your television, chewing, or even just a conversation. It can vary in severity and symptoms may include migraines, annoyance, daily discomfort, or even ear pain that makes the simplest of activities a real struggle.

Anyone can develop hyperacusis, regardless of age or previous hearing health, and there are a variety of causes for this condition. Often, hyperacusis is experienced along with tinnitus, which is a perception of a slight roaring, ringing, or clicking sound in the ear. Treatment for both of these problems is similar, and our audiologists are expertly trained in both. Find relief from your hyperacusis by scheduling an appointment at our Highlands Ranch hyperacusis center.

Hearing Tests and Evaluations

The most accurate method to evaluate hearing is a hearing test in a soundproof booth conducted by an audiologist. Online tests can be misleading and fail to detect bigger issues – such as acoustic neuroma. A full hearing evaluation provides your audiologist with crucial information that informs them about your auditory health. If you notice a change to your hearing, even a minor one, you should consider scheduling a hearing exam.

During this process, your audiologist will do the following:

Review medical and hearing health and history.
Examine your ear canal and outer ear with an otoscope to review for any abnormalities.
Perform a hearing test, which allows us to identify the unique frequencies that you may struggle to hear.
Review the results with you and provide comprehensive information that will answer any and all questions.

After a hearing test and evaluation, our audiologists will make a recommendation that works best for your own lifestyle, budget, and type of hearing loss.

Hearing Aids

At Sound Relief Hearing Center, we only offer the most outstanding hearing aids offered by our manufacturers. While you can find hearing aids from stores like Costco or even online, you should not settle for inferior technology or care. Experience the difference with our hearing experts in Highlands Ranch. We know that your visit to our audiology clinic will be worthwhile no matter what you decide.

Our audiologists incorporate comprehensive hearing exams, years of expertise, and the finest service to diagnose and respond to your specific type of hearing loss. We provide recommendations that are tailored to your lifestyle, budget, and personal needs. Finding the perfect hearing aid is an important step and can even be life-changing. The renowned experience of our doctors and staff in Highlands Ranch will make this process effortless.

Wax Removal

Ear wax is completely natural and even good for your ears. Also called cerumen, ear wax is secreted within the passage of the outer ear and protects and cleans the ear canal. While this is good for your ear and helps to protect it from bacteria, the ear can produce too much wax, which may reduce your ability to hear or even develop into tinnitus.

To remedy this issue, an audiologist can remove the excess wax during an ear wax removal treatment. Using a curette and/or ear irrigation, they will gently flush out the excessive wax. Depending on the amount of time it takes to remove the ear wax, we charge between $50 – $100 per ear.

Kate J

Very impressed! I came here wanting ear filters but that wasn’t the best option for my hearing goals. Felt informed every step of the way, learned a lot about my hearing condition and walked away with a huge smile on my face that’s still there! Excited to try sound therapy and already feeling a difference. I already referred my husband here for his hearing loss and think he will love it too.

Response from the owner: Hi Kate, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you felt informed and supported throughout your visit, and we’re excited to help you on your sound therapy journey - thank you for your trust and referral!

Response from the owner: Thank you for such an amazing review, Thomas! We’re so glad to hear that your experience over the past three years has been so positive.

Response from the owner: Thank you Tony!

Christine M.

I had previously been seen in Peoria AZ but was traveling when due for my annual. It was so convenient to be seen at the Highlands Ranch office. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I was in and out in no time and back on the road. Great experience.

Response from the owner: Hi Christine, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad we could accommodate you at the Highlands Ranch office.

Phenomenal resource! Extremely knowledgeable and courteous staff.

Response from the owner: Thanks, Dan!

Ken C.

My ears are pretty easy. I have the Phonak Lyric hearing aids which are in ear so they cannot be seen. These help me a ton in day to day interactions and have helped reduce my tinnitus in my left ear. The team here has been easy to work with and scheduling my next appointment. Everyone I have worked with has been friendly and treated me with respect. Great place.

Response from the owner: Hi Ken, thank you for your kind review! We're glad to hear that the Phonak Lyric hearing aids have helped with your daily interactions and tinnitus, and we're happy our team has made your experience so positive and easy.

Jeff M.

Dr. Read really helped me to understand my problem and the options available to me. I left with a solution in hand and am already doing much better. Highly recommend them and will continue to go to them in the future!

Response from the owner: Hi Jeff, thank you for your review! We're glad Dr. Read helped you understand your options and that you're already seeing improvements. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to support you!

Chip B.

Very happy to have finally made the visit. I have had issues with tinnitus for most of my life and made peace that Sound Relief would be another snake oil kind of place. I recently moved my father in with us and thought I would use him for the guinea pig. lol I set up an appointment following his in the same day and could not be happier. From the front desk staff to Dr. Greenhouse, service and going the extra mile to ensure my father and I had a detailed explanation of our condition and options that were available to us.I could spend another hour talking about our visit and the exceptional service we received but I won’t do that to you. Just know that there is absolutely no excuse, no legitimate excuse, not to make your appointment. If not for you, consider those around you.In a nutshell, I’ve had a very high pitched ringing in my ears for 40 years. With a single visit to Dr. Greenhouse, and trying her suggestions, she was able to ELIMINATE the ringing in my right ear. I HAVE NO MORE RINGING in my ear.This is the best group of people I’ve ever been to.

Response from the owner: Hi Chip, thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience! We’re thrilled that Dr. Greenhouse and our team were able to eliminate the ringing in your ear after so many years. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’re honored to have made such a positive impact for both you and your father.

Sally J.

Superior service! Readily answers questions. Easy to get appointments. Highly recommend.

Response from the owner: Thank you, Sally!

Howard B.

Dr. Reed is wonderful. She thoroughly diagnosed my hearing, listened to my concerns, and then provided the best possible solution. She seems to be very knowledgeable and current in the latest audiology research. The staff are friendly and efficient. I have been to two previous providers and Sound Relief is by far superior.

Response from the owner: Hi Howard, thank you for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that Dr. Reed provided a thorough diagnosis and the best solution for your hearing needs. We truly appreciate your confidence in Sound Relief and are glad we could exceed your expectations!

Barbara S.

Dr Read, & the office, is a pleasant & trustworthy office to learn about your hearing. Easy to get to. Easy to park. Front office is very professional. Back office is wonderful. You will not regret trusting Sound Relief with your hearing needs.

Response from the owner: Hi Barbara, thank you for your kind review! We're glad you found Dr. Read and our team both pleasant and professional, and we appreciate your trust in Sound Relief for your hearing needs.

Mark H.

On time, professional. Has reduced my tinnitus.

Response from the owner: Hi Mark, thank you for your review!

Jerry R.

I’ve been with Sound Relief Tinnitus and Hearing Center for nearly 8 years. Tinnitus drove me to their clinic. My hearing was checked and thankfully measured to be good for a person of my age. Treatment of my tinnitus was begun and though I was disappointed at first, my audiologist encouraged me to stick with it.Over time, I have found that this persistence pays off. I will never be “cured” of tinnitus, but I am now managing this condition and it has become minimized in my life. I appreciate this clinic’s focus on tinnitus treatment and their personnel have always been compassionate and professional.

Response from the owner: Hi Jerry, thank you for sharing your experience and for your trust over the past eight years. We're glad to hear that your persistence with the treatment has paid off and that you're managing your tinnitus more effectively. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate and professional care, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Jacque B.

Excellence in everything Sound Relief does! Knowledgeable and personable staff make appointments a treat.

Response from the owner: Thank you very much for such kind words! We try every day to be the best that we can be, and it sounds like you are experiencing exactly what we’re aiming for. Thank you.

Mark B.

On time and to the point. Thorough evaluation of equipment and communication was clear during visit.

Response from the owner: Thank you for the review, Mark!

Perry N.

The staff at Sound Relief is superb, and very responsive to my needs. I have had to return to the clinic between visits due to "operator error" and I have always had a quick response. My primary doctor, Megan, has been wonderful to work with and she has been very patient while working with me. I'd drive anywhere to visit her office; fortunately she is conveniently close to me.

Response from the owner: Hi Perry, thanks for the feedback. Your satisfaction is important to us; please email us to help us understand how we can do better next time - patrick@soundrelief.com

James O. W.

I had a tune up of my hearing aids. The one in my good ear had a failed speaker. It was replaced quickly and the problems I had with the aids pairing with my cell phone were also fixed. Needless to say I am very pleased.

Response from the owner: Hi James, thank you! If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
