Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus Treatment in McAllen, TX
Ringing, buzzing, or humming that nobody else hears can make it hard to sleep, focus, or enjoy a quiet evening. Our tinnitus treatment in McAllen, TX begins with a tinnitus assessment and hearing evaluation to learn what's behind the sound, such as hearing loss, earwax, or noise exposure. If anything points to a medical cause, we coordinate with your physician. Our Doctors of Audiology explain every option in plain English or Spanish.

Tinnitus Sound Generators Added to Your Hearing Aids
Most of our patients with hearing loss also live with tinnitus, so tinnitus care is built into how we fit hearing aids. After your tinnitus assessment, we can add a tinnitus sound generator (TSG) to your hearing aids if you qualify. It plays soft, soothing sounds that make the ringing easier to tune out. We especially like Widex hearing aids for tinnitus, and we fine-tune every device in our office as your needs change.
Tinnitus Treatment FAQs
Common questions about tinnitus treatment in McAllen, including whether tinnitus goes away, how hearing aids help, when to get checked, insurance, and care for veterans.
For most people there's no outright cure, but many find tinnitus bothers them much less with the right plan. When a specific cause is found, such as earwax buildup or a medication side effect, treating that cause may quiet the sound or stop it altogether.
For ongoing tinnitus, the goal is relief you can feel day to day. Hearing aids with sound therapy, soft background sound at night, hearing protection, and good sleep and stress habits all help the brain pay less attention to the ringing. We'll help you find the mix that works for you. Call (956) 630-7629 to schedule a tinnitus evaluation.
Often, yes. When hearing loss is part of the picture, the brain may turn up its own "volume" to fill in the sounds it isn't getting, and tinnitus can become more noticeable. Hearing aids bring those everyday sounds back, which can make the ringing fade into the background during the day.
If you qualify, we can also add a tinnitus sound generator (TSG) to your hearing aids, which plays soft, soothing sounds you control. If your hearing tests within normal limits, hearing aids may not be the right tool, and we'll talk through other options instead. Call (956) 630-7629 to find out what fits your hearing.
Get checked whenever ringing lasts more than a week or two, shows up in only one ear, or comes with hearing changes or dizziness. If tinnitus pulses in time with your heartbeat, or starts suddenly along with hearing loss, contact your physician right away so they can look for a medical cause.
You don't need to wait until the sound gets worse. An early evaluation gives you a baseline and a plan, and it rules out simple fixes like earwax. Our audiology team sees tinnitus patients from across the Rio Grande Valley. Call (956) 630-7629 to book a visit.
It depends on your plan. Better Hearing Clinic accepts United HealthCare, BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, and Medicare, and we do not accept Medicaid.
Our medical billing clerk verifies your coverage before your visit, so you'll know what to expect with no surprises. Coverage for hearing aids and tinnitus sound generators varies from plan to plan. Call (956) 630-7629 and we'll check your benefits before you come in.
Yes. Tinnitus is one of the most common service-connected conditions among veterans, often from years around gunfire, aircraft, and heavy equipment. We evaluate and treat veterans' tinnitus and hearing loss using Medicare or private insurance. Many Rio Grande Valley veterans go on to noisy civilian jobs too, so we review your full noise history.
VA referral rules for outside clinics change from time to time, though veterans with cochlear implants can currently still be referred to us for programming. Call (956) 630-7629 and we'll explain your current options.
