Your tinnitus consultation is performed by one of our Hearing Aid Specialists, Jaysee or Toni. There is no cure for tinnitus, but when hearing loss is part of the picture, hearing aids and their built-in tinnitus features can make it much less noticeable.
Grace or Francesca will greet you at the front desk and get you settled. Your visit then moves through four parts.
We discuss what you’re hearing (ringing, buzzing, hissing or pulsing), whether it’s in one ear or both, when it started, and when it’s most bothersome, including whether it affects your sleep.
We examine your ear canals and eardrums with an otoscope. Earwax buildup can contribute to tinnitus and affect test results, so we check for it before testing.
In our sound booth, you’ll complete a comprehensive hearing test. Tinnitus and hearing loss frequently occur together, and your results often help explain the sound you’re hearing.
We explain your results and what could help. If your symptoms point to a medical cause, we’ll refer you to a physician. If you need more specialized tinnitus care, we’ll refer you to a provider in our tinnitus therapy network.
Tinnitus tends to be most noticeable in quiet settings. When hearing loss reduces your access to everyday background sound, there is less to compete with the tinnitus, which is why it often seems loudest at night.
Hearing aids restore access to those background sounds, which reduces the contrast between the tinnitus and silence. Many hearing aids also include a built-in sound generator that plays a soft, adjustable sound, such as gentle noise, to make the tinnitus less noticeable.
Tinnitus affects roughly one in ten adults in the United States, and most people with tinnitus also have some degree of hearing loss. That’s why a tinnitus consultation here starts with a hearing test, not with a hearing aid.
If your test shows hearing loss, clinical practice guidelines recommend a hearing aid evaluation for persistent, bothersome tinnitus. Hearing aids are programmed to your prescriptive targets, and their tinnitus features can be adjusted to your preference.
When tinnitus is progressively worsening, or when hearing aids are appropriate but don’t provide enough relief, we refer patients to our network of providers who specialize in tinnitus therapy.
Both are Florida-licensed Hearing Aid Specialists who follow the same thorough, best-practice approach to every tinnitus consultation.

Toni was born with hearing loss and has worn hearing aids since childhood, and her mother and brother wear them too. She knows what the first weeks with a new hearing aid feel like. Ask her about getting used to them.

There’s no cure for tinnitus yet, but that doesn’t mean nothing can be done. The goal is to make it less noticeable so it takes up less of your day. For many people with hearing loss, treating the hearing loss makes the biggest difference.
They help many people, but not everyone, and there’s no way to know until your hearing has been tested. That’s why the test comes first.
A quiet bedroom gives tinnitus nothing to compete with. A fan, a radio on low or a sound machine can help at night for the same reason hearing aids help during the day.
We’ll keep working with you. Hearing aids and their tinnitus features can be fine-tuned over several visits. If your tinnitus is progressively worsening, or if hearing aids are appropriate for you but aren’t providing enough relief, we’ll refer you to a provider in our network who specializes in tinnitus therapy.
If your tinnitus came on suddenly, is in one ear only, pulses with your heartbeat, or comes with dizziness or a sudden drop in hearing, see a physician promptly. Sudden hearing loss should be evaluated as soon as possible, ideally within a few days. If we notice any of these signs, we’ll refer you.
Bring your insurance card if you have one, and your current hearing aids if you already wear them. A list of your medications is also helpful, since some can contribute to tinnitus.
We accept many insurance plans. Bring your insurance card, and we’ll check your benefits for you.
