The Consumer's Guide to Tinnitus Relief is an easy to understand booklet explaining how hearing aids can help patients who suffer from headnoise. The publication guides a patient through steps for assessment and treatment. The Consumer's Guide to Tinnitus Relief does not accept advertising and is available to the public only through local hearing practices.

Tinnitus is the sensation of noise or ringing in the ear when an external sound is not present. "Tinnitus" or TIN-it-tus, comes from a Latin word meaning "tinkling." Those with tinnitus experience noise in the form of ringing, buzzing, roaring, clicking, whistling, screeching, static or hissing that may vary in pitch from a low roar to a high squeal in one or both ears. It is estimated that tinnitus affects one out of every 10 people; and one percent of the population is so adversely affected by tinnitus that daily function and quality of life are disrupted.

A recent article in Army Times found that one in four soldiers returning home report hearing loss, dizziness or ringing in the ears.

Hearing professionals use the Consumer's Guide to Tinnitus Relief as a counseling tool with patients being fitted with hearing aids for the purpose of tinnitus treatment.
