Tinnitus Evaluation and Management

Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sounds in the ear when no external sound is present. Our Tinnitus Management service is designed to help reduce the discomfort, stress, and impact caused by tinnitus, and improve your daily quality of life.

What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is not a disease—it is a symptom. It may be caused by:

  • Hearing loss

  • Ear infections or wax blockage

  • Exposure to loud sounds

  • Stress or anxiety

  • Ear or nerve damage

  • Certain medications

Our goal is to identify the cause and provide effective relief strategies.

Our Tinnitus Management Approach

1. Detailed Assessment

We begin with:

  • Complete case history

  • Hearing evaluation

  • Tinnitus pitch & loudness matching

  • Middle-ear and nerve function tests

This helps us understand your tinnitus type and severity.

2. Identifying Possible Causes

We check for:

  • Hearing loss

  • Earwax or middle-ear issues

  • Stress or sleep problems

  • Noise exposure history

  • Medical or neurological factors

Understanding the root cause is the key to successful management.

Treatment & Management Options

1. Sound Therapy

Soft background sounds, white noise, or customised tones are used to reduce the awareness of tinnitus and help relax the auditory system.

2. Hearing Aids for Tinnitus Relief

If hearing loss is present, modern hearing aids often reduce tinnitus by:

  • Amplifying external sounds

  • Reducing strain on the brain

  • Masking internal ringing

Many advanced models include built-in tinnitus masking programs.

3. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

A well-known therapy combining:

  • Counselling

  • Sound therapy
    To help the brain reduce the focus on tinnitus over time.

4. Counselling & Education

We guide you on:

  • How tinnitus works

  • How stress affects it

This helps reduce anxiety and improve coping skills.
