Managing tinnitus with specialised digital hearing aid prescriptions

  November 11, 2012

When new patients come into the Clinic for a tinnitus assessment, our team of audiologists conduct a range of tests that determine a patient’s hearing function and tinnitus psychoacoustic characteristics. This is because, in many cases, hearing loss and tinnitus are interlinked.
