Customised Sound Therapy for Tinnitus
Customised Sound Therapy for Tinnitus
Living with tinnitus can be exhausting and distressing. The constant internal sound can affect concentration, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life. Our customised sound therapy is designed to help you regain control by reducing your awareness of tinnitus and easing the emotional reaction it can trigger.
This is a specialist, evidence-based treatment tailored specifically to you.
How Customised Sound Therapy Works
Following a detailed assessment, we identify your individual tinnitus acoustic profile. Your therapy is then carefully designed around your hearing levels and personal experience of tinnitus.
A bespoke therapy sound is created for each ear, based on your audiometric profile. The sound is set at a very soft, just-audible level, so it does not interfere with your daily activities.
Over time, this gentle and consistent stimulation helps retrain the brain’s neural pathways. The aim is to encourage the brain to filter tinnitus out of conscious awareness, a process known as habituation.
Within 3–6 months, many patients notice a clinically meaningful reduction in how often they monitor their tinnitus and how intrusive it feels.
A Holistic Approach to Tinnitus Management
Tinnitus is not just about sound, it affects how you feel and how you respond to that sound. That’s why our approach goes beyond devices alone.
We combine:
By addressing both the auditory and emotional aspects of tinnitus, we aim to reduce distress and help you feel more confident in managing your symptoms.
Specialist-Led Care at London Hearing
This is not a standard treatment that is widely available. It is a specialist intervention that requires advanced training and expertise.
Our Chief Audiologist, Shamim Patel, has extensive experience delivering customised tinnitus sound therapy and now provides this specialist service at London Hearing.
“Using this treatment, I have been able to help patients who suffer with tinnitus alone, or tinnitus alongside hearing loss. Where appropriate, therapy can be integrated within a hearing device that is frequency and threshold specific, sustainably reducing the focus given to tinnitus sounds.”
For patients with hearing loss, therapy can be delivered through advanced hearing aid technology for a combined, targeted solution.
