The ringing in your ears isn’t something you just have to live with.
That's what changes when you finally get a proper assessment.
"It's just stress." "You'll get used to it." "There's not much we can do."
Most people with tinnitus wait years before getting a clinical evaluation. Meanwhile, the ringing gets harder to ignore. Sleep suffers. Concentration goes. The frustration builds.
At Precision Hearing, we find out exactly what's driving your tinnitus and build a management plan around your specific results.
Book Your Tinnitus AssessmentEverything we need to understand about tinnitus
We use the Tinnitus Functional Index, a clinically validated tool that measures how tinnitus is affecting 8 areas of your life: sleep, concentration, emotional wellbeing, and more. This gives us a baseline and a way to track your progress.
Tinnitus and hearing loss frequently coexist, and treating one often helps the other. We run a full evaluation, including pure tone audiometry, speech testing, and tympanometry, to understand your complete hearing picture.
Using pure tone testing, we match the precise pitch and loudness of what you're hearing. This gives us a clinical baseline and directly guides which management approaches are most likely to work for you.
Once we understand your tinnitus, we explain what's happening and why. Then we build a plan tailored to your results: sound therapy apps, CBT programs, hearing aids with tinnitus masking, standalone maskers, psychologist referral, or ENT consultation if needed.
More than one way to manage Tinnitus
The right approach depends on your assessment findings, whether you have hearing loss, and how much your tinnitus is affecting daily life. Options include:
Your plan is built around your results. We'll never recommend hearing aids if you don't need them.

Common questions about tinnitus assessment
Tinnitus rarely disappears completely, but it can absolutely be managed. The goal is reducing its impact to the point where it no longer controls your life: fading into the background rather than dominating your attention. Many patients reach this point with the right approach. The assessment tells us which approach is most likely to work for you.
No referral required. You can book directly. If you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate on the audiology component of the assessment, a GP referral for hearing assessment will help. We can explain what’s rebatable when you call.
Yes. We perform a fresh evaluation at every tinnitus assessment. We need current, precise data from our own calibrated environment to match your tinnitus characteristics to your hearing profile. Previous tests from another clinic aren’t sufficient for clinical decision-making. Think of it like a new doctor examining you themselves rather than relying on someone else’s notes.
Only if you actually need them. If your assessment shows normal hearing, hearing aids aren’t appropriate and we’ll tell you plainly. We have other effective options specifically for tinnitus in patients with normal hearing. Our recommendations follow your results, not a sales target.
