Do Your Ears Buzz? Tinnitus and PTSD

Tinnitus Affects 2.7 Million U.S. Veterans

People with tinnitus experience a wide range of sounds such as chirping, whooshing, buzzing, or clicking. The symptoms can be transient or constantly present.

For some, the sounds are low level and in the background, while for others the sounds are almost overwhelming and have a severe impact on daily activities.

Tinnitus is particularly important to U.S. veterans because recent research found that 72 percent of veterans suffering from tinnitus also have an anxiety or depression diagnosis, which are underlying factors of America’s high veteran suicide rate: 22 veteran lives lost every day.

What to Do if You or Someone You Know Experiences Tinnitus. . .

  • Tell your health care provider. Particular danger signs:
    • Your tinnitus is only in one ear
    • It pulsates with your heartbeat
    • It occurs suddenly or is accompanied by dizziness or hearing loss

Tinnitus Treatment Options

Many veterans can manage their tinnitus with just basic education on how to deal with the condition.  The VA has created a free workbook on managing tinnitus. Download your pdf copy here – Tinnitus Management Workbook.
