Tinnitus Doctor

Tinnitus is commonly referred to as a “ringing in the ear,” but it can present as many different sounds. In addition to ringing, tinnitus may be described as a whoosh, pop, buzz, clanging, rush of air, whistle, low roar, crickets, or many other sounds.
The sounds of tinnitus may be constant or intermittent and may affect one or both ears. While there is no single cause of tinnitus, there are treatment and management options that may provide relief.
Our tinnitus doctors are among the few audiologists in the Southeast trained in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. Our clinics offer several therapeutic intervention options that are individualized based on each patient’s audiologic evaluation, tinnitus symptoms, and personal reaction to their tinnitus.
Dr. Nikki Weaver, owner of the hearing clinics, is a Certificate Holder in Tinnitus Management from the American Board of Audiology and a member of the American Tinnitus Association. In addition to her extensive experience treating patients with tinnitus, Dr. Nikki completes at least 30 additional hours of continuing education each year specifically focused on the latest tinnitus research, clinical findings, and treatment approaches. This ongoing advanced education allows our clinics to continually incorporate current research and evolving tinnitus-management strategies into patient care.
If tinnitus is affecting your sleep, concentration, emotional well-being, or quality of life, you do not have to simply “learn to live with it.” Contact our office to schedule a tinnitus consultation and learn more about what may be contributing to your tinnitus and which treatment or management options may be appropriate for you.
