How we Assess and Treat Tinnitus

At Trusted Hearing, we offer a thorough tinnitus assessment designed to understand what’s behind the sounds you hear and how they’re affecting your life. We take the time to explore your hearing health, examine your ears, and assess how your tinnitus behaves—so we can provide strategies tailored to your needs.

Our assessment goes beyond a simple hearing test. We evaluate the loudness, pitch, and impact of your tinnitus using evidence-based tools, and we explain everything clearly as we go. You’ll leave with answers—not just about what your tinnitus is, but about what you can do next.
For many clients, this includes lifestyle adjustments or sound-based therapies.

We are also one of Victoria’s few accredited providers of Neuromonics—a research-backed treatment that retrains the brain to reduce your awareness of tinnitus and restore peace of mind.

1

Initial Consultation

We will discuss your tinnitus symptoms, hearing concerns, and general health background to gain a better understanding of your situation and the impact of tinnitus on your life.

2

Physical Assessment of Ear

A thorough examination of the ear to identify any physical issues.

3

Hearing Tests

A comprehensive hearing test to identify any hearing loss or factors contributing to your tinnitus.

4

Tinnitus Matching

We will evaluate your tinnitus by attempting to match its pitch, allowing us to tailor management strategies more effectively.

5

Masking Assessment

This assessment determines if you would benefit from masking therapies by presenting different sounds gradually adjusted in volume until they match or slightly exceed your tinnitus loudness. You’ll indicate if the masker reduces your tinnitus perception or makes it less bothersome. This helps guide the selection of personalised masking therapies to alleviate tinnitus-related distress.

Loudness Discomfort Levels Assessment

An assessment to determine the maximum loudness you can tolerate, providing crucial information for selecting sound therapy options to help manage tinnitus-related sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds without an external source. It can be caused by hearing loss, exposure to loud noise, ear infections, medications, or other health conditions. While it varies from person to person, tinnitus can significantly impact daily life and wellbeing.

At Trusted Hearing, we begin with a 60-minute tinnitus assessment. This includes a comprehensive hearing test, detailed case history, and tinnitus-specific evaluation. We aim to identify potential causes and determine a personalised management plan to help you regain control.

We offer a range of treatment options tailored to your needs. This may include sound therapy, hearing aids, counselling, or the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment (NTT) — a clinically proven program that uses customised music to retrain the brain’s response to tinnitus.

NTT is a patented therapy that uses spectrally modified, relaxing music customised to your hearing and tinnitus profile. It helps desensitise your brain to tinnitus by retraining how your limbic system responds to sound. Over time, this reduces the awareness and distress associated with tinnitus, improving quality of life.

Yes. Neuromonics has been validated in over 10 clinical studies and shows an 83% success rate — defined as a 40% reduction in tinnitus disturbance scores. It’s been used by thousands of people globally for nearly 20 years and has been shown to bring lasting physiological changes to the auditory processing areas of the brain.

The full program runs for approximately six months. It includes two phases:

Phase 1: Relief Phase (8 weeks) – designed to reduce tinnitus awareness.

Phase 2: Habituation Phase (18 weeks) – helps your brain learn to ignore tinnitus long-term.
After completing both phases, you enter a maintenance stage that can be self-administered as needed.

You’ll listen to customised music using your own Apple iPhone or iPad for 2–4 hours per day during calm, non-strenuous activities like reading, emailing, or walking. This passive listening promotes relaxation while supporting brain retraining.

Yes. The Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment must be delivered by a specially trained, accredited clinician. At Trusted Hearing, our audiologists are Neuromonics-certified and provide expert guidance throughout the program, either in-clinic or via telehealth.

The tinnitus assessment is $200 for private clients. If you’re eligible through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), we can bill DVA directly and there’s no out-of-pocket cost.

A referral is not required for private tinnitus assessments at Trusted Hearing. However, if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a referral from a medical doctor — such as a GP, ENT specialist, or neurologist. The referral does not need to be addressed specifically to Trusted Hearing.

If you are a DVA cardholder and require funding from DVA to treat your tinnitus, we can help you work through this process.
