Tinnitus, Hyeracusis Assessment & Counselling

Tinnitus, Hyperacusis Assessment & Counselling

Tinnitus – noises in the head or ears with no external source – affects a significant number of people across all age groups. If you are experiencing tinnitus, it is important to get your hearing levels checked as a hearing loss may have occurred concurrently.

As part of your tinnitus assessment, James Hearing specialists will perform pure tone audiometry and document any tinnitus characteristics. Using this information, our supportive Hearing Therapist can organise the fitting of electronic ‘masking’ devices and propose numerous habituation tactics to alleviate the negative effects of tinnitus on your well-being.

Introducing the new Serenade Sound Therapy for the relief of tinnitus

The Serenade system consists of a handheld device, earphones, and proprietary treatment sounds that research has suggested may address the underlying neurological cause of tinnitus.  This novel technology is simple to use and customised specifically to your tinnitus.  It may be used to seek immediate relief, as well as long term benefit when used as part of an ongoing tinnitus treatment program. After an audiologist evaluates your tinnitus, your Serenade device is programmed to play the sounds most likely to be effective for you.

Features of Serenade include:

• Unlike other approaches, this treatment is customised to your specific tinnitus.
• Includes 4 separate sound tracks so you can select the one that works best for you, day or night.
• New treatment sounds known as S-Tones^® were developed by independent leading university hearing experts and only recently commercialised.
• This technology is based on advanced research and solid science, and is FDA cleared.
• The device is small, portable, and easy to use.
• Includes SleepAssist – a 60 minute, auto-off timer to help you fall asleep.
• Independent left and right volume controls offer maximum flexibility, comfort and customisation.
