Tinnitus

According to statistics, about 30% of Americans experience tinnitus at some point in their life, although the majority only experience temporary tinnitus in relation to exposure to loud noise in a club, during a major sporting event, or after discharging a firearm with proper protection.

Chronic tinnitus is a symptom of a neurological disorder that creates a sound somewhere along the hearing pathway or in the brain that does not actually exist. It often coincides with hearing loss, but hearing loss is not present in all who experience tinnitus symptoms.

Balance Disorders and Vertigo

Dizziness or vertigo that occurs when a person stands up suddenly or motion sickness from traveling is often associated with the inner ear not working fast enough to adjust to the situation or an overreaction of the brain due to faulty signaling from the inner ear.

The medical condition most often associated with vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). The auditory system is an incredible mix of bones, hairlike cells, nerves, and fluid that all work together in the auditory process, but also relate to the vestibular system, which plays a role in maintaining balance.

Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) or Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)

An auditory processing disorder involves difficulty processing sound signals from the hearing pathway. It is often a coordinating issue within the auditory process that is missed, because symptoms suggest hearing loss, but hearing tests indicate normal or near normal hearing.

APD affects people of all ages, but it commonly starts in childhood with around 5% of school-aged children experiencing central auditory processing disorder (CAPD).
