Tinnitus Management

The first and most important thing to do is to get regular hearing checks. Since tinnitus can’t be cured, the best thing to do is find it early so that you can start managing it as soon as possible and prevent it affecting your lifestyle.

There’s a chance that your tinnitus could be caused by a build-up of earwax inside your ear canal. At The Hearing Care Partnership we offer flat-fee earwax removal for £70 in-practice. We use the very latest and safest removal techniques to ensure quick and painless tinnitus relief.

For those who have a hearing loss and tinnitus, addressing any underlying hearing loss with hearing aids can bring indirect relief to the tinnitus itself. So, although we can’t reduce the tinnitus directly, we can change how you perceive it and provide some comfort by helping you hear better with hearing aids. The British Tinnitus Association lists this as one of the best ways to cope with tinnitus.

This uses natural background sounds like rain or birdsong to distract your brain from the tinnitus noises. These days, this can even be a feature that’s included in your hearing aids – how cool is that!

Tinnitus can often be stressful and difficult to live with, and added stress will only exacerbate the condition. So CBT focuses on controlling negative feelings surrounding tinnitus, making the noises become less noticeable.

A combination of both sound enrichment and CBT, this helps you to focus on relaxing natural sounds and ignore your tinnitus.
