A tinnitus appointment may be for you if:

• Your tinnitus is perceived as intrusive, irritating, or distressing
• You develop high levels of tinnitus-related anxiety/distress and need professional help
• You doubt your ability to cope with your tinnitus and would like to learn what strategies are available from an experienced tinnitus specialist audiologist
• There is an increase in active tinnitus monitoring, or your awareness of your own tinnitus, and you require a hearing test or audiogram to assess the severity.
• You’re interested in learning about modern technological approaches to tinnitus management, including tinnitus apps, hearing aids or (behind the ear, in-the-ear, invisible hearing aids etc.) as potential solutions.
• As tinnitus can be caused by wax build-up, a tinnitus appointment may also be appropriate if you have previously encountered issues with wax build up, or have needed ear wax removal or ear cleaning to address it.
