Often, bothersome tinnitus can be reduced or managed so that it is less distracting or annoying; the first thing we need to do is a hearing test and look in your ears.

If you have a hearing loss the use of hearing devices could provide relief. Giving the ears back the sounds that they’ve been missing often reduces tinnitus, also by introducing more sounds from the everyday world around, you are less focused on the unwanted sounds. Modern hearing aids also have ‘tinnitus distractors’ as standard meaning that we can create tailor made soundscapes to relieve your symptoms.

In cases where more needs to be done to enable you to manage your tinnitus symptoms, we will guide you to the help you need. Whether that’s through tinnitus therapy- which focuses on relieving your underlying stress and the process of retraining your brain and other coping strategies – or onward referral to specialist services.
