Tinnitus Test Assessment & Management
Many people who suffer from tinnitus have sought help before. The common response they come up against is “nothing can be done” or “you need to learn to live with it”. The truth is tinnitus can be treated and in some cases even reversed.
At our 90 minute consultation and assessment we’ll help you to understand your hearing and tinnitus. We will perform a tinnitus test with a variety of methods establishing a full picture of your tinnitus. We’ll then identify strategies to help you minimise the effects.
