Do you know what happens if your brain doesn’t get enough sound?

With hearing loss, there isn’t enough sound information coming to your brain from your ears, or the quality of that information is too low.

This makes it much harder for the brain to orient itself in your
surroundings—which then makes it harder to focus on what’s
important. It affects all the different parts of your brain that make
sense of your surroundings.

When your brain works overtime to fill in the gaps, it leaves less
mental energy for things like memory and concentration. Over time, this can affect how well your brain processes the world around you.

Tinnitus, commonly described as a ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound in the ears, remains a condition with many unknowns. While the exact cause is not always clear, several factors are commonly associated with its onset:

▪️Hearing Loss: Both age-related and noise-induced hearing loss can contribute to tinnitus.
▪️Ear Infections: Infections in the ear can impact the auditory system and potentially trigger tinnitus.
▪️Stress and Anxiety: Psychological factors such as stress and anxiety are known to exacerbate symptoms in many individuals.
▪️Exposure to Loud Noises: Prolonged exposure to loud environments or sounds can lead to permanent ear damage and tinnitus.

If you or someone you know if suffering from tinnitus, contact us by calling 0800 059 9230, visiting https://openhearing.scot/ or coming to see us at a local clinic.
