Tinnitus Treatment
Real Relief From Ringing and Buzzing in Your Ears
That persistent ringing, buzzing, or hissing has a name — tinnitus — and you do not have to simply live with it. Our tinnitus treatment in San Antonio, TX starts with understanding your tinnitus and its connection to your hearing. Because tinnitus and hearing loss travel together so often, a Doctor of Audiology evaluates both, identifies contributing factors, and builds a management plan around your real life. Many patients find meaningful relief once the underlying hearing component is addressed.
Tinnitus Care Built on Navy Hearing Discipline
Tinnitus often traces back to noise — military service, industrial work, music, or the slow accumulation of everyday exposure. Owners Dr. Joseph Pratt and Dr. Nathan Ortiz are US Navy veterans who spent their careers tracking hearing change in active-duty sailors, and Precision Hearing is a VA Community Care Network provider (Group NPI 1386343341). For veterans and working adults across San Antonio, that combination means tinnitus is evaluated and managed by people who understand exactly where the ringing came from.
Tinnitus FAQs
Common questions about tinnitus in San Antonio — what causes ringing in the ears, whether it can be cured, how hearing aids help, and how veterans access care through Community Care.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound — ringing, buzzing, hissing, roaring, or clicking — with no external source. It's a symptom rather than a disease, and it has many possible drivers. The most common is noise-induced or age-related hearing loss, but earwax impaction, certain medications, ear infections, head or neck injuries, jaw tension, and underlying medical conditions can all contribute.
Because tinnitus and hearing loss travel together so often, a thorough hearing evaluation is the best first step toward understanding yours. At Precision Hearing we identify the likely contributors and rule out anything that needs medical attention. Call (210) 695-4708 to schedule an evaluation.
For most patients, tinnitus is managed rather than cured — but management can be genuinely life-changing. When the tinnitus has a treatable cause, such as earwax impaction or a medication side effect, addressing the underlying issue may resolve the sound entirely. More often, the goal is to reduce how much you notice the ringing and how much it bothers you day to day.
Proven approaches include treating any underlying hearing loss, sound therapy, counseling, and hearing devices with built-in tinnitus relief programs. We build the plan around your specific pattern and lifestyle — never a template. Call (210) 695-4708 to get started.
Hearing aids help with tinnitus in two ways. First, by amplifying the everyday sounds you've been quietly missing, they reduce the contrast that makes tinnitus stand out — when your brain has real sound to process again, the ringing tends to fade into the background.
Second, many modern devices include dedicated tinnitus relief programs that generate soothing sound to mask or distract from the ringing, and some pair with a phone app so you can adjust the sound on the fly. Combined with counseling and sound therapy, this approach helps many patients regain focus and sleep more easily. To see whether amplification could help, explore our hearing aids or call (210) 695-4708.
Yes. Precision Hearing is a VA Community Care Network provider (Group NPI 1386343341), and tinnitus evaluation and management — including hearing aids with tinnitus features when indicated — can be delivered to eligible veterans under Community Care. The workflow starts with a referral from your VA primary care provider, followed by a call to the CCN at (210) 949-3850 (option 1) to confirm receipt.
Both owners are US Navy veterans who ran the Navy's largest hearing conservation programs, so service-connected tinnitus is something the practice understands firsthand. Once your referral is confirmed, call (210) 695-4708 to schedule at our Babcock Rd office.
