Tinnitus (any sound you can hear that is not coming from the environment) loudness and annoyance can be managed and reduced, and some people report they can get rid of it completely.

Likewise, reduced sound tolerance (hyperacusis, recruitment, misophonia, phonophobia) can also be managed and reduced. 

​

Tinnitus is heterogenous so there are many different causes and presentations. The tinnitus you hear, and its triggers can be very different to someone else's. That's why a Google search can lead to frustration and even louder tinnitus!

​​

So what works for you might not work for others, but there are various strategies that can assist in tinnitus reduction, some of which we've known about for 70 years! Using demystification, neuroplasticity, and cognitive behavioural (CBT) and somatic therapy, you can gain some control back from your hearing system. 

Hann Audiology can help you make sense of these auditory system disorders, support you to find out what is underpinning them, and provide strategies and management advice to help you reduce their loudness and annoyance.

Recommendations are based on sound scientific principles and over 20 years of experience, through a holistic lens. We don't claim to be able to fix everyone's tinnitus, but we can help most, sometimes quite successfully.
