Specialist care for tinnitus and sound sensitivity
Evidence-based audiology for tinnitus, hyperacusis and complex hearing concerns. We take the time to understand what is happening, investigate properly and explain what your results mean.
Does this sound familiar?
You are not imagining it.
Tinnitus and sound sensitivity can be difficult to understand, particularly when previous testing has not given you clear answers.
- ✓ Ringing, buzzing, hissing or roaring in your ears
- ✓ Sounds that come and go — or never seem to stop
- ✓ Trouble sleeping or concentrating
- ✓ Everyday sounds that feel unusually loud or uncomfortable
- ✓ You were told your hearing is “normal” but you still struggle
There may be more to investigate.
Tinnitus may be influenced by:

Our approach
Understand. Investigate. Prioritise. Manage.
No two tinnitus management plans are the same, because no two patients’ tinnitus is the same.
During your assessment, we look at what may be contributing to, exacerbating or maintaining your tinnitus. Once we understand those factors, we can work out what needs attention first and whether further treatment is needed at all.
We take time to understand your tinnitus, hearing, sound tolerance, history and how your symptoms are affecting you.
We look for factors that may be contributing to, exacerbating or maintaining your tinnitus.
Once we understand the contributing factors, we decide what needs to be addressed first. If underlying sound sensitivity is present, that becomes the priority.
From there, we build a personalised management plan and introduce strategies in the right order for your presentation.

Evidence-based care in a noisy online world
There is no shortage of tinnitus advice online — from social media claims and unqualified influencers to products promising a quick fix.
At Adelaide Tinnitus Clinic, recommendations are based on clinical research, specialist training and your individual presentation.
Tinnitus management should be based on understanding what may be contributing to, exacerbating or maintaining your symptoms, then choosing strategies that are appropriate for you.
Specialist tinnitus care means more than simply listing “tinnitus” as a service.
Laura has undertaken additional postgraduate and tinnitus-specific training in assessment and rehabilitation, including Tinnitus Retraining Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and is currently completing her Doctor of Audiology through A.T. Still University.
