Tinnitus Clinic in London

£100 for the full hour-long appointment at our Wimpole Street clinic. The fee is all-inclusive: tinnitus history, eardrum-health examination, full hearing test, tinnitus pitch and loudness matching where helpful, and your bespoke management plan. Onward care (hearing aids, masking devices, psychology referral) is quoted separately.

What we can do is make a real, lasting difference to how much your tinnitus affects 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. Most of what we do is 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 for you and arranging onward referrals if a medical investigation is warranted.

Often, yes — particularly if your hearing test shows an underlying high-frequency loss. Well-fitted hearing aids restore the missing sound input and many also include built-in tinnitus sound therapy programmes. See our hearing aids in London page for the full range we fit.

Adding gentle background sound (a fan, running water, soft music, dedicated sound generators) to environments that would otherwise be very quiet. Silence is the worst environment for tinnitus — the brain has nothing else to attend to.

Small ear-worn devices that play a personalised low-volume sound to mask or distract from tinnitus. Many of the modern hearing aids we fit include built-in masking programmes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for tinnitus has one of the strongest evidence bases in audiology. The therapy works on the brain's relationship to the tinnitus — how much attention it pays, how it interacts with sleep and stress.

Yes — it is one of the more common reasons for new-onset tinnitus. Clearing the wax often clears the tinnitus too. Ear wax removal at our London clinic is £80, 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.

Yes — most UK private medical insurers cover consultations and diagnostic audiology testing, which includes tinnitus assessments. Many of our London tinnitus patients are referred to us by an ENT specialist and we bill the insurer directly. See our insurance page.

It depends on your plan. Many patients find that the single £100 appointment and bespoke plan are enough. Others benefit from a follow-up at 6–12 weeks to track progress and refine the plan.

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. Our position inside the Harley Street medical district means our onward-referral network is unusually well-established.

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.
