KNOW YOUR TINNITUS #!
Your Tinnitus # is a crucial first step – it measures how tinnitus affects your life, guides treatment decisions, and tracks your relief over time.
Until now, there hasn’t been a simple, effective way to understand and communicate with your medical professionals about your tinnitus – unlike familiar health metrics like blood pressure or A1C levels.
YOUR TINNITUS #
Your Tinnitus # reflects how severe your tinnitus feels—the higher the number, the more bothersome the ringing and the more it is impacting your daily life. No matter your Tinnitus #, there are treatment options available to help silence the ringing.
YOUR TINNITUS CAN GET WORSE OVER TIME.
That’s right—tinnitus most often only gets worse in people without treatment. Tinnitus is driven by the natural aging process of the auditory system and your brain. Additional factors like noise exposure, diet, lifestyle, and other common medical conditions (like high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.) can make the tinnitus even louder.
As we age, our Tinnitus Number will typically rise. This is why early treatment is essential—to mitigate the impact of these changes and preserve your quality of life and brain health.

TINNITUS # BREAKDOWN
What does your Tinnitus # mean and how to best understand it:
- Slight Impact: a Tinnitus # of 0 – 13
- Moderate Impact: a Tinnitus # of 14 – 20
- Severe Impact: a Tinnitus # of 21 – 34
- Catastrophic Impact: a Tinnitus # of 35 – 40
The Tinnitus # captures how much tinnitus disrupts a person’s life, and how it affects their emotional well-being, daily activities, cognitive health, and overall quality of life.
