Tinnitus Testing (Pitch, Volume, And Masking Level Measurements)

We have invested in the world's most advanced tinnitus measurement tool -- the MedRX Tinnometer.

This equipment allows us to accurately measure the precise type of sound that you are hearing in your ear. This measurement takes the guesswork out of treatment, and allows us with a more accurate measurement of what exactly we are helping you address.

Tinnitus Treatment and Sound Therapy

After an initial evaluation, which generally includes a physical examination of the ears, in addition to hearing testing, Tinnometer testing, and questionnaires about your symptoms, our audiologists will determine if what you’re experiencing is tinnitus and what the best course of treatment will be.

This specialized program will help you change the way your brain perceives tinnitus sounds, which has been shown to reduce how bothersome and even how loud and invasive your tinnitus is.

Tinnitus retraining therapy is a long-term solution to turning the condition into a problem of the past. Professionals will work with you to help retrain your brain to learn to ignore or at least lessen the perception of your tinnitus.

The NeuroTinnitus Program involves 4 levels of testing, treatment, and counseling. The complete program is often completed over a series of 3-4 sessions, however some patients experience a significant improvement in their tinnitus after just one appointment.

1. Education - Understand how tinnitus works and how to short circuit the reactivity cycle.
2. Hearing Loss Treatment - 80% of the time, tinnitus is a symptom of hearing loss. Treating the underlying hearing loss with hearing aids often
3. Sound Enrichment - Tinnitus is often most bothersome in the absence of other distracting sounds. Our team will work with you to develop a sound enrichment strategy so that you can stay focused on what's important and avoid tinnitus distraction and annoyance.
4. Mindfulness, Overcoming Thought Patterns, and Stress Management - This part is different for everyone. For some people, tinnitus and stress are highly correlated. Managing stress here is critical.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Intervention, breathing exercises, mindfulness activities, and thought-change strategies, you will have the tools in your toolkit to successfully manage and overcome you tinnitus.
