Tinnitus and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)
Evidence-based care for ringing, buzzing, humming, or intrusive sounds
Tinnitus can feel overwhelming — especially when it affects sleep, concentration, mood, or daily enjoyment of life. For many people, tinnitus is more than a sound; it becomes a constant presence that disrupts wellbeing.
We offer evidence-based tinnitus assessment and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), supported by advanced audiology, counselling frameworks, and an understanding of how the brain processes sound, attention, and emotion.
Our goal is simple: to help you understand your tinnitus, regain control, and reduce its impact on your life.

Why Choose Us for Tinnitus?
Understanding tinnitus requires understanding the auditory system and the brain. Therese’s background and expertise allow her to address: changes in the auditory pathways, cognitive load, listening effort and the impact of tinnitus on sleep patterns, relationships and overall wellbeing.
TRT is one of the most researched methods for long-term tinnitus relief. Therese has completed official TRT training and provides structured, progressive support.
Because tinnitus affects more than hearing, we integrate:
- Personal sound generator optimisation (if needed)
- Counselling
- Sound therapy
- Neuroplasticity-based tools
- Education
- Stress and lifestyle considerations
- Coping and habituation strategies
We recommend what’s clinically right — not what’s commercially convenient.
Our Approach to Tinnitus Care
We treat tinnitus through a combination of scientific assessment, counselling, sound therapy, and personalised strategies.
Your appointment could include some or all of the following and more:
- Diagnostic hearing test
- Tinnitus pitch and loudness matching
- Sound tolerance assessment
- Underlying hearing loss screening
- Middle-ear evaluation
- Review of triggers, lifestyle factors, and medical history
- Psychological impact screening (THI/TSMQ options)
We help you understand:
- Why your tinnitus behaves the way it does
- How the auditory system and brain influence tinnitus
- Why it gets louder during stress, fatigue, or quiet
- The science behind habituation
- Which treatments genuinely help (and which don’t)
Clients often say this session alone reduces anxiety.
TRT combines:
- Structured counselling
- Sound enrichment
- Guided tools to reduce attention focus
- Habituation techniques
- Support between sessions
If hearing loss is present, even mild, improving auditory input reduces the brain’s need to “fill the silence” — decreasing tinnitus intensity.
We walk with you through each step, refining your plan and celebrating progress.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
You will experience a calm, unhurried session where we take time to:
- Understand your experience
- Explore your tinnitus – type, degree
- Explain causes and patterns
- Create a personalised treatment plan
- Offer immediate tools to reduce distress
- Map out longer-term management
You leave with clarity, direction, and hope.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no single cure, but the impact can be dramatically reduced. TRT, counselling, sound therapy, and hearing support offer strong results.
Not usually. With proper management, tinnitus often becomes softer, less intrusive, and easier to ignore.
Yes — stress, fatigue, illness, and quiet environments all influence perception. We teach you how to break this cycle.
For many people, hearing aids significantly reduce tinnitus by restoring sound, reducing brain strain, and supporting habituation.
Most clients notice improvement within weeks to months. Full habituation can take 6–18 months depending on severity.
