Discover If You Need Help Getting Rid of Your Tinnitus

Many Australians silently suffer from tinnitus in the form of ringing ears or buzzing sounds in the ear that only they can hear. The frequency and volume of the sound are different for each person, with some people experiencing only mild symptoms while others live with constant noise.

Why should I see an audiologist who specialises in tinnitus?

Tinnitus management is a specialised discipline that requires expert knowledge and care. Tinnitus specialists are audiologists who have been trained to help determine whether your tinnitus is related to hearing loss, middle ear issues, noise exposure, or other underlying conditions. A tinnitus audiologist can provide you with a specialised assessment to deal with your tinnitus symptoms. Tinnitus can vary widely from person to person, so it is important to seek a professional, tailored management approach.

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to tinnitus treatment plans. A tinnitus audiologist can recommend personalised strategies that incorporate sound therapy, hearing aids, counselling support or referrals to ENTs where appropriate. Audiologists trained in tinnitus counselling provide clear explanations and the latest evidence-based research about what tinnitus is (and isn’t), which reduces fear and confusion and helps patients regain control.

Managing tinnitus requires integrated and ongoing care plans, so consulting with a specialist audiologist ensures continuity of care and emotional support. Our audiologists collaborate with GPs, psychologists, and other health professionals to support the emotional and mental impact of tinnitus in a holistic approach.

Tinnitus can range from a high-pitched ringing in the ears to the sound of waves crashing on the beach. It can sound like a repetitive siren, a static TV, a buzzing sound, or whooshing like the wind. 

Finally understand the noises you are hearing by getting in touch with our hearing specialists 

The most common hearing problems associated with tinnitus include ear ringing and buzzing in the ears. It’s unclear what exactly causes tinnitus, but we do know that there are factors that can increase your risk of developing tinnitus hearing problems. These include:

Ageing 

Prolonged exposure to loud noise

Ear wax buildup  

High stress or a traumatic event

However, there are many more reasons why you might require tinnitus treatment, and we recommend seeking the advice of your local audiologist.

We are often asked how to get rid of tinnitus, and while there is no long-lasting cure, we can help reduce the ringing and buzzing in your ears.

Book a hearing test at your nearest Ability Hearing & Balance ear clinic so we can understand and treat your tinnitus hearing problem. 

After your hearing test with Tasmania’s leading audiologist, we can work together to help you get effective relief from your tinnitus 

We offer several different treatment options for those seeking help with their tinnitus. Our ear specialist may recommend sound therapy for relieving your tinnitus if, after your hearing test, we believe that your tinnitus is associated with hearing loss. Although there is no definite cure for tinnitus, most people who visit our ear clinic experience less ear ringing and buzzing in their ears after being fitted with hearing aids.

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

Sound therapy is not a suitable solution for everyone, and we may recommend Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) instead. Retraining therapy will not get rid of your tinnitus entirely, but it will teach you how to manage your tinnitus through relaxation techniques and effective coping mechanisms. 

Find out if Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) is the best treatment option for you by contacting our ear specialists 

We recommend that you don’t try home treatments for tinnitus that could damage your ears and see a hearing specialist instead for professional advice.
