Tinnitus Clinic in Brentwood

£100 for the full hour-long appointment at our Brentwood clinic. All-inclusive: tinnitus history, eardrum-health examination, full hearing test, tinnitus pitch and loudness matching, and your bespoke management plan.

There is currently no outright cure for tinnitus — but it is highly manageable, and we can make a real, lasting difference to how much it affects your daily life. Tinnitus is rarely about the volume of the sound itself — it's about how loud, intrusive and stressful it feels, and our structured 4-pillar programme is designed to reduce exactly that. Many of our patients find that within a few months they barely notice their tinnitus — their brain has learned to filter it out — and they get their focus, calm and sleep back.

"Live with it" is the most demoralising thing a tinnitus patient can hear. Our approach is the opposite: structured, evidence-based and active. Rooted in tinnitus retraining therapy and cognitive-behavioural approaches, both of which have decades of evidence.

Many possible causes — noise exposure, age-related hearing loss, ear wax, ear infections, certain medications, head or neck trauma, stress and (more rarely) underlying medical conditions. Part of your appointment is identifying which are at play.

Yes — one of the more common reasons for new-onset tinnitus. Clearing the wax often clears the tinnitus too. Ear wax removal at our Brentwood clinic is £70, free follow-up if not cleared first time.

For most people, yes — markedly. Once you understand how stress and attention amplify tinnitus perception, you can start to break the cycle.

Adding gentle background sound (a fan, running water, soft music) to environments that would otherwise be very quiet — silence is the worst environment for tinnitus.

Sometimes — particularly if your tinnitus is accompanied by hearing loss (which it often is). Modern hearing aids have transformed tinnitus outcomes for many people. See hearing aids in Brentwood.

Yes — without hesitation. If your assessment suggests you would benefit from ENT, audiovestibular medicine, neurology or psychological support, we'll write the referral directly to your GP or chosen consultant on the day.

Come in. Sudden-onset tinnitus, especially with hearing change or vertigo, benefits from prompt clinical assessment — we'll examine you, test your hearing, and either start the management programme or refer to ENT urgently if anything warrants it.

Yes — on the back of an ENT referral, the major UK insurers generally cover the diagnostic audiology side. Insurance does not cover hearing aids or masking devices.

Yes — same Brentwood clinic, formerly known as County Hearing Care, now VIP Hearing Solutions. We've cared for Brentwood's hearing since 1997.
