Tinnitus Evaluation and Therapy

Tinnitus Evaluation & Therapy Services

Many people perceive a sound frequently described as a humming, buzzing, pulsing, hissing, or ringing in their head or ears called tinnitus. This phantom auditory perception is a sound with no external source that is sometimes caused by noise exposure or hearing loss. Castle Rock Ear Associates offers tinnitus evaluation and therapy services for patients who wish to treat their tinnitus. We perform thorough tinnitus and hearing assessment tests to assess your tinnitus, paired with a medical examination. Dr. Hegarty will look for a physiological cause and/or environmental triggers, of your tinnitus, while our audiological staff provides a habituation-based therapy program. We use the most researched and successful treatment for tinnitus called Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). This therapy includes counseling and habituation to retrain your brain’s perception of tinnitus. The majority of our patients achieve relief from their tinnitus, hyperacusis and/or misophonia using this therapy method.
