What We Offer

Tinnitus is a condition characterised by the perception of a sound such as ringing hissing, buzzing, rushing, roaring, crackling, or whistling sounds in the ears when no external noise is present. Tinnitus can be perceived in one ear, both ears or in the head. When this condition interferes with your sleep, concentration, or mood, it requires specialist assistance to manage it. Tinnitus is a common complaint with one in three Australians experience it at some time in their lives, and one in six living with it constantly.

Tinnitus is not a disease but a symptom of other conditions such as noise-induced hearing loss, age-related hearing loss, impacted earwax, ear diseases, ear infections, auditory nerve pathologies, neurological disorders, inherited genetic disorders, pregnancy, ototoxicity, head trauma, circulatory alterations, and muscle spasms. Additionally, stress, anxiety and depression can also be involved in the development of tinnitus.

At Confidence Hearing, we assess your tinnitus with state-of-the-art equipment which has been specifically designed for tinnitus evaluation, alongside various questionnaires related to tinnitus and wellbeing.

Confidence Hearing implements various strategies to manage your tinnitus including counselling, amplification, sound therapy and other comprehensive programs such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). Contact Dr Bisheh today to receive assistance in regard to your tinnitus.

Some simple tips which may assist you with tinnitus:

• Use background sound to help mask or habituate to the tinnitus.

• Implement practices such as meditation and relaxation techniques to alleviate your stress levels.

• Implement a healthy lifestyle by engaging in regular physical activity in conjunction with a healthy diet.
