Before You Treat Tinnitus, Understand It
Tinnitus treatment can involve a considerable commitment of time and money, and sometimes the purchase of equipment or devices that may not be necessary or appropriate for you.
Before making that commitment, take some time to understand your tinnitus and the range of treatment options available.
Download my free eBook, Rethinking Tinnitus, or better still, talk with the author about your tinnitus before deciding what to do next.
Understand first. Treat second. And remember that there is much that can be done to improve your situation.

Our evidence-informed integrated tinnitus treatment helps reduce both tinnitus distress and perception.
Initial Consultation
• When you attend your initial consultation at the Tinnitus Clinic, we explore your tinnitus experience in detail.
• A comprehensive assessment is undertaken to understand your tinnitus experience.
• You will receive a clear explanation of your tinnitus together with practical management strategies.
• Together, we discuss further treatment options and next steps as appropriate.
Individualised Treatment & Support
• Treatment is tailored to your needs and may include cognitive retraining, neurofeedback, hypnosis, sound therapy, or an integrated approach designed to reduce tinnitus distress and perception.
• We DO NOT sell expensive devices or treatment systems. Our goal is to reduce your tinnitus distress, perception, and improve daily functioning through cost effective evidence-based mehods.
• You will be supported throughout your recovery including take-home resources and recordings.
• Where appropriate, additional medical assessment is arranged to support your particular case.
Your tinnitus is unique to you and will receive a customised recovery plan.
Who typically benefits from our approach?
-
Tinnitus that is recent or long-standing
-
Tinnitus-related distress, anxiety, or low mood
-
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating

Feeling stuck or discouraged after previous treatments
Why people choose our approach
With over 20 years of client experience, our work focuses on understanding your individual tinnitus experience and providing practical, structured strategies aimed at reducing distress and restoring control.
We listen to your narrative with understanding and compassion.
We do not sell expensive equipment or tinnitus retraining systems potentially costing you thousands of dollars.
Assessment and treatment protocols are safe and grounded in established clinical practice.
You will receive complimentary take-home audio scripts, recordings, and supporting resources.
Guidance on using simple, affordable tinnitus support apps and devices that are widely commercially available.
Where further assessment or support is appropriate, we work collaboratively with your GP, ENT, physical therapist, and local audiology provider.
Your treatment progress can also be visually tracked using modern EEG technology together with international tinnitus questionnaires.
Many people find that as they understand how tinnitus is generated and maintained in the brain, their distress gradually reduces and the sound becomes far less intrusive.
Client Experiences
Many people who contact the clinic have already tried other approaches.
This is what they say are the key differences.
• A structured, calm approach focused on understanding your individual tinnitus experience.
• Over 30 years of clinical experience working with distress, attention, and nervous system regulation
.
• Treatment that complements medical and audiological care rather than replacing it.
• Clear explanations and practical strategies designed to restore confidence and control.

How We Work With Tinnitus
The Tinnitus Clinic provides clinical care informed by modern neuroscience research into how tinnitus is generated and maintained in the brain.
Our work focuses on helping the brain gradually learn to respond differently to the sound.
We use an integrated treatment approach that combines counselling, neurofeedback, and hypnosis.
These approaches work together to help regulate attention, reduce distress, and retrain the brain’s response to tinnitus.
Our clinical protocols are guided by international tinnitus research frameworks, including the work of the Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI).
Assessment and progress are measured using established tinnitus questionnaires widely used in research and clinical practice.
All services are delivered within a careful, ethical, and evidence-informed clinical framework.
How the Components Work Together
Neurofeedback
Hypnosis
Tinnitus Retraining Counselling
Sound Therapy
Integrated approaches working together to retrain the brain’s response to tinnitus
Each component of treatment targets different aspects of the tinnitus process — attention, stress regulation, brain activity patterns, and auditory perception.
By retraining the brain's response involving attention, prediction, and threat monitoring, we can reduce your tinnitus distress and perception.
Learn More About the Neuroscience of Tinnitus
A deeper explanation of the brain mechanisms behind tinnitus.
Many people find it helpful to understand how tinnitus is generated and maintained in the brain.
John Wibrow’s book Rethinking Tinnitus Through Neuroscience explains these ideas in clear, practical language and explores how the brain can learn to respond differently to tinnitus.
