Ringing or buzzing that will not settle deserves proper investigation. We find its pitch and loudness, rule out what matters, and build you a management plan that actually works.
Tinnitus almost always sits at a specific frequency — often, though not always, near where a hearing loss begins. We play tones until we find the one that matches what you hear, then measure how loud it is relative to normal hearing.
We start with a full diagnostic hearing test, since tinnitus and hearing loss are often linked.
We play tones until we find the pitch and loudness that matches what you hear.
We talk through when it’s worse, what helps, and how it’s affecting your sleep and focus.
Sound therapy, coping strategies, or a referral — whichever fits your specific case.

Not always, but frequently. That is why every tinnitus evaluation includes a full diagnostic hearing test.
Around 60 minutes, including the hearing test, pitch and loudness matching, and a conversation about your management plan.
If your tinnitus is sudden, only in one ear, or comes with dizziness or hearing loss, see a doctor or ENT promptly — we can refer you if needed.
An hour at your nearest branch, and a plan you can actually follow.
