What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is defined as ringing or other noises in the ears or head. It can take on a variety of forms including high-pitched ringing, buzzing, hissing, roaring or booming, or any combination of these sounds.

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

The treatment we use is called TRT. This treatment can be credited to the work of its originators Drs Jastreboff and Hazel who established it worldwide with the first clinical trials in 1990. It is now the treatment that has been most successful in over 30 countries around the world.

TRT involves an extensive audiological evaluation, several counselling sessions, the use of external sound, and frequently the use of sound devices. It does not involve any surgery or drugs.

What can be done?

The first step towards helping those with tinnitus is an extensive assessment, where the tinnitus can be measured and reproduced so that family members can actually hear the tinnitus signal you are experiencing.

Western Hearing Services offers individual solutions towards tinnitus treatment, so you never have to be told again "to get use to it". Contact any one of our conveniently located clinics to find out how you can start improving your lifestyle today.
