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.
In the past, you may have needed two devices to help manage hearing loss and tinnitus: hearing aids to improve your hearing and a noise generator in order to provide you with control over your tinnitus. However, The Tinnitus Clinic is now able to supply and fit a range of sophisticated digital hearing aids, including the Siemens Life and Pure Carat range which combine the two functions.

Hearing aids for tinnitus management

Our specialist prescriptions allow you to get the most out of your residual hearing. They improve your speech discrimination ability while generating a broadband sound which acts to reduce your awareness of your tinnitus noise and provide you with the ability to control your symptoms.

While these devices will not eliminate your tinnitus awareness, they will enable you to not feel trapped with the tinnitus symptom which, in turn, reduces the negative emotional impact of the condition and results in an improved quality of life.

If you would like to book an assessment or need more information on our digital hearing aids, please feel free to contact the Clinic.
