Services for Tinnitus Clients
“Active Habituation” Treatment for Tinnitus – An All In One Consultation and Treatment
This is a 2-hour consultation and crash course on how to adapt to your tinnitus. Delivered by a senior audiologist, you will have short tests and history-taking to understand the likely origin and prognosis of your tinnitus. There will be an in-depth interview and questionnaires designed to see how future treatments may or may not benefit you.
​
After we have found out about you, your responses, your individual concerns and experiences, there is a tailored educational module. During this module, you will be invited to give your thoughts and feedback. With a decade of clinical experience, Sally understands the differences between people who ‘have tinnitus’ (are habituated) and those who have ‘tinnitus distress’. The goal of the Active Habituation treatment is to show you the clear pathway that you as an individual can take, to become happily habituated.
​
A state of habituation to tinnitus means that you do not notice (‘hear’) the tinnitus often, and when you do notice it your brain does not respond to it. It stays firmly in the background of your life, if indeed you notice it at all. It can be difficult to grasp when you are in the grip of tinnitus distress, but it is very possible to acheive this with the right support.

Consultations and Report Provision for Occupational, Welfare or Medicolegal Reasons
We undertake this work on a case-by-case basis, at a set hourly rate depending on the provider of the service. Please contact Sally in the first instance for a free discussion of your needs and guidance on how to proceed.
All Are Welcome
You may have thought that private healthcare for your tinnitus was out of reach. At Hearing and Tinnitus Care, the Active Habituation all-in-one course has been designed to be effective and affordable. We offer onward referrals and further services, but the vast majority of tinnitus sufferers are able to work their way back to good quality of life with this service alone. Whatever your needs though, we can help.
