Tinnitus Assessment
Understanding & Managing Your Tinnitus
Tinnitus — the perception of ringing, buzzing, or other sounds when no external sound is present — affects millions of people across the UK. While it can be distressing, the good news is that there are many effective ways to manage it and reduce its impact on your daily life.
Our specialist tinnitus assessment is designed to identify potential causes, evaluate the nature and severity of your tinnitus, and develop a personalised management plan. We combine thorough audiological testing with a detailed understanding of your experience to build a plan that works for you.
Whether your tinnitus is a recent development or something you've lived with for years, our HCPC registered audiologist can help. We serve patients from across North Wales at our St. Asaph clinic — from Wrexham and Rhyl to Bangor and Anglesey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions Answered
Can tinnitus be cured?
There's currently no universal cure for tinnitus, but many people see significant improvement with the right management approach. Our goal is to help you reduce the impact of tinnitus on your daily life and, in many cases, reduce its perceived loudness.
What causes tinnitus?
Tinnitus has many possible causes, including hearing loss, noise exposure, ear wax, stress, certain medications, and underlying health conditions. Your assessment helps identify likely contributing factors.
Will a hearing aid help my tinnitus?
For many people with hearing loss and tinnitus, hearing aids can be very effective — not only improving hearing but also providing sound enrichment that can reduce tinnitus awareness. We'll discuss whether this might help you.
How long does a tinnitus assessment take?
Your appointment will last around 45 minutes, giving us time for thorough testing and a detailed discussion of your experience and management options.
Do I need a referral for a tinnitus assessment?
No, you can book directly with us. We're an independent clinic and no GP referral is needed. If we identify anything that warrants medical investigation, we'll advise you appropriately.
