Perth’s Most Trusted Tinnitus Experts
At Hearing and Audiology, we are experts in tinnitus assessment and treatment. We are committed to educating our community about hearing loss and tinnitus, while providing treatment options tailored to each person’s needs. We believe that providing people with information empowers them to make the best decisions about their hearing, tinnitus, and general health. It is important to find an expert you are comfortable with, especially when tinnitus starts to affect your quality of life.
Tinnitus is commonly described as a ringing, buzzing, ticking, roaring, humming, or whooshing sound, heard in the head or ears. Tinnitus affects each individual differently; it can be heard in one ear or both, it can be constant or intermittent. Tinnitus is not an external sound, and those around you will not be able to hear the noises that you are experiencing.
What Tinnitus Treatments are Offered?
- Tinnitus Retraining Therapy
- Neuromonics
- Sound Generators
- Lyric
- Ear Level Masking Devices
Certain tinnitus treatments provide immediate relief of tinnitus, while others take longer for the brain’s neural pathways to re-wire. For more information about the above treatment options, click here.
The most appropriate treatment option depends on a number of factors, which are determined during a Tinnitus Assessment. We take a holistic approach when determining the tinnitus cause, and provide treatment options accordingly.

How can I prevent tinnitus?
Tinnitus can be prevented by:
- Turning down volumes: Prolonged exposure to loud sounds or music can cause hearing loss which, in turn, can lead to tinnitus.
- Protecting your ears: If you’re going to be at a loud concert, a construction site, an amusement park, or anywhere else where there’s loud sounds, it’s important that you wear hearing protection to guard against ear damage.
- Decreasing caffeine and nicotine intake: Caffeine and nicotine can affect blood flow to the ear – particularly when consumed in excess.
- Taking care of your heart: Staying on top of your cardiovascular health can prevent tinnitus that’s caused by blood vessel disorders.
