Dr. LaGuinn Sherlock

Overview: If you hear ringing in your ears, or buzzing, chirping, humming or hissing, you might be one of the millions of people who have a condition known as tinnitus. Dr. LaGuinn Sherlock, an audiologist and director of clinical audiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center, says the condition can be caused by loud noises, certain medications, uncontrolled high blood pressure or an infection. It is not actually a disease, but rather a symptom, she tells interviewer Karen Warmkessel.

Dr. Sherlock, who is also an instructor in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at the University of Maryland, College Park, discusses the latest treatment options, including sound therapy to re-train the brain to ignore the unwelcome noise.
