How we treat it at AfterOurs
A provider checks your ears, reviews your medications and health history, and looks for treatable causes such as infection or blood pressure. Treatment depends on the cause. You may be referred for hearing testing or specialist care.
When to come in
Come in if ringing is new, one-sided, or comes with hearing loss or ear pain. Sudden hearing loss should be seen right away.
