Find relief with expert tinnitus management at Leightons
If you’re living with a constant ringing, buzzing, or humming sound in your ears, you’re not alone. Tinnitus is very common and it can be managed. At Leightons, we’re here to help you understand your tinnitus and find practical ways to reduce its impact on your life.
Our tinnitus management begins with a full hearing assessment to check both your hearing and ear health. From there, our expert audiologists will guide you through personalised support to help you regain control, comfort, and confidence.
What is tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound - such as ringing, buzzing, or humming - when there’s no external source. It can be constant or come and go, and it may affect one or both ears.
While tinnitus can feel frustrating or worrying, it doesn’t have to be something you simply “live with.” With the right professional care, most people find effective ways to manage their symptoms and experience real relief.
What causes tinnitus?
Tinnitus is often linked to hearing loss, ear infections, or a build-up of earwax. Sometimes it may be related to certain medications or even stress and anxiety. Exposure to loud noise can also lead to tinnitus, so protecting your ears is essential. Whether you work in noisy environments or enjoy listening to music, wearing hearing protection helps prevent tinnitus or stop symptoms from worsening in the future.
Our audiologists will work with you to understand what’s behind your tinnitus and create a tailored management plan.
What happens during a tinnitus management appointment?
At the end of your appointment, your audiologist will take time to explain everything clearly and answer any questions you have.
How we help manage tinnitus
At Leightons, our goal is to understand the reason behind your tinnitus and help you find the best methods to reduce its impact and regain control.Below are some of the ways we can help:
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
CBT helps change the way you respond to tinnitus, easing frustration, anxiety, emotional distress. By learning new coping strategies, you can reduce the emotional impact and regain a sense of calm and control.
Sound enrichment therapy
Gentle background sounds or masking devices can make tinnitus less noticeable. These soothing sounds help your brain focus away from tinnitus, especially in quiet moments or at bedtime.
Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT)
TRT combines sound therapy with supportive counselling to help you reframe how you experience tinnitus. Over time, your brain learns to tune out the internal noise, making it far less intrusive.
