Tailored hearing tests
Tinnitus can't be cured, but it can be treated.
Tinnitus consultation & treatments
On the initial consultation, one of our expert Audiologist will review your relevant medial history and perform a range of diagnostic test to assess your tinnitus and audiological profile. These tests are designed to diagnose your tinnitus type, pinpoint your tinnitus tone and identify any associated hearing loss that may be exacerbating the impact of your condition.
Your Audiologist will discuss the treatment options available to you and the likely prognosis following treatment. There will also be plenty of time for you to ask questions and explore self-help techniques, as we allow 90 minutes for your appointment.
Breaking the cycle of tinnitus distress
In the illustration, tinnitus is likened to a dripping faucet. First, you notice the tinnitus, like you would notice a leaking kitchen faucet whilst laying in your bed at night. As the sound continues, it sets off a subconscious alarm in your head. This causes you to react negatively to the sound. You have a negative emotional response to the sound, irritation, anxiety or anger. This distress then triggers a physical, bodily response, increased heart rate, tensing muscles, or sweaty palms, causing a chain reaction that puts even more focus on the tinnitus sound. What started as a small, insignificant sound, grows into an all-consuming, stress-inducing roar, and cycle continues as the brain adapts to constantly focusing on the sound.
Sound relief for tinnitus in Oxford
Listening to sounds can be a helpful tool for managing your tinnitus. Adding pleasant sounds to the sounds you hear already can reduce the impact of tinnitus by helping you move your attention towards the sounds you want to hear, rather than the sound in your head. Compare it to listening to a single violin, but if you add a symphony orchestra to the violin, it becomes less distinct and part of the overall sound.
Masking – Hearing aids that play relieving sounds
Hearing aids can help you take control of your tinnitus by playing a wide range of relief sounds like white noise and soothing ocean-like sounds. With hearing aids, you can discreetly control the sounds in your hearing aids using Apps that have been designed by the leading brands for iPhone and Android.
You can adjust the sounds until they give the relief you need – whenever you find yourself needing it. What’s more, you can wirelessly stream alternative tinnitus relief options, such as your favorite music, audio books, podcasts or even relaxation guided.
Hearing aids for tinnitus in Oxford
90% of people with tinnitus have an underlying hearing loss. If you have a hearing loss, no matter how mild it is, it can make your tinnitus worse because you will be straining to hear environmental sounds and this listening more to your internal sounds i.e tinnitus. Improving your hearing will mean that the environmental sounds that you will not be able to hear otherwise, will now be audible, which may help override the sounds of your tinnitus.

Always there to quickly help if you have a problem with your hearing aids. I find it difficult to change the wax guards on the aids but with a call to James Hearing I had an appointment next day to sort it. That's good customer service. Totally recommend James Hearing.
