Hyperacusis, As I See It

Yes, I'm about to have an NHS consultation with an audiologist. I just wondered if it was the same one. I'm in Brighton.

May I ask what her general approach was?

Regards,
Dan

 

Although I live in Brighton, I am seen at a London hospital for my tinnitus. When I left London and moved to Brighton in 2014, I chose to continue to be seen as an out-patient at my London hospital.

An audiologist can use a variety of treatments when treating a tinnitus patient with or without hyperacusis. It all depends on what the audiologist thinks is the best treatment for you. There is counseling, using sound enrichment from a sound machine, hearing aids, CBT, TRT, and wearing white noise generators. Medication and relaxation therapy classes may also be advised.

Please take your time and read my thread, Tinnitus, Personal View, at the link below. Various treatments are recommended for the treatment of tinnitus and hyperacusis. It depends on what that NHS Trust has to offer.

All the best,
Michael

Thanks for your response.

Hopefully, Brighton Audiology has all these resources at their disposal.
