COULD TINNITUS BE AFFECTING YOU?
It is not always the sound itself. It is the impact it can have on your day.
Tinnitus can be temporary, occasional or persistent. For some people it is a minor background sound; for others, it becomes harder to ignore when life is quiet, stressful or tiring.
You may benefit from an assessment if tinnitus is affecting:
Sleep or winding down at night
Concentration, reading or work
Feeling relaxed in quiet rooms
Conversations and hearing in background noise
Your confidence, mood or general wellbeing
Your ability to enjoy television, music or social time
A hearing and ear assessment can help identify whether hearing changes, earwax, or another issue may be contributing.
TINNITUS MANAGEMENT PLAN
There's more than one way to reduce the impacts of tinnitus
Tinnitus management is not about a single quick fix. The right approach depends on your hearing, ears, daily routine and the situations that are most difficult for you. Your audiologist will explain which options may be relevant and when another healthcare professional should be involved.
Understand your hearing and ears
A detailed hearing assessment and ear examination provide the starting point. For some people, hearing changes or earwax may be part of the picture.
Hearing aids and tinnitus features
Where hearing loss is present, professionally fitted hearing aids may improve access to everyday sound. Some suitable devices also include sound therapy and tinnitus support features.
Sound masking
Gentle background sound can make tinnitus less noticeable in quiet settings, particularly when working, relaxing or preparing for sleep. Your audiologist can discuss practical options that fit your routine.
Counselling and education
Understanding tinnitus, its common triggers, and practical coping strategies can reduce the attention and worry it attracts.
Earwax removal, where appropriate
If wax is present and contributing to blocked hearing or increased tinnitus awareness, safe clinical removal may be recommended.
Referral and broader support
When tinnitus is significantly affecting sleep, anxiety, mood or day-to-day wellbeing, we can discuss appropriate referral pathways. These may include GP review, ENT care, psychology or structured therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy.
A CLEAR, CALM FIRST STEP
Your appointment starts with us listening.
Your audiologist will ask about the sounds you notice, when they began, the situations in which they are most intrusive, your hearing, general health, and any relevant noise exposure.
We may then:
Examine your ears, including checking for earwax where appropriate
Complete a detailed hearing assessment
Explain your results in plain language
Discuss practical tinnitus-management options and any appropriate next healthcare steps
You will not be rushed into hearing aids, a treatment package, or a decision on the day. The aim is to give you a clearer understanding of what may help.
Independent, Australian-owned | Honest results | No pressure
ONGOING SUPPORT
Ongoing support for living well with tinnitus
For some people, that means clearer hearing in conversation. For others, it means feeling more settled at night, concentrating more easily at work, or simply knowing what is happening and what to do next.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Tinnitus questions, answered clearly
Can tinnitus be cured?
Tinnitus does not have one universal cure. However, many people find that understanding their tinnitus, addressing hearing or ear concerns, and using the right support strategies can make it less intrusive in daily life.
Is tinnitus linked to hearing loss?
It can be. Tinnitus often occurs alongside hearing changes, which is why a hearing assessment is a useful first step. Tinnitus can also have other contributors, so your history and ear examination matter.
Can hearing aids help with tinnitus?
For people with hearing loss, hearing aids may make everyday sound easier to access and reduce the contrast between tinnitus and quiet surroundings. Some suitable devices include tinnitus-support features. Your audiologist can advise whether this is appropriate for you.
Could earwax be making your tinnitus worse?
Earwax can block sound and sometimes make tinnitus more noticeable. An ear examination can identify whether wax is present and whether clinical removal is appropriate.
What happens during a tinnitus assessment?
Your audiologist will discuss your tinnitus, hearing, lifestyle and relevant history, examine your ears where appropriate, assess your hearing and explain practical options and next steps.
Do I need a GP referral?
You can book an appointment with Essence Audiology without a referral. Depending on your symptoms and results, we may recommend that you also speak with your GP, an ENT specialist or another relevant health professional.
Can stress make tinnitus worse?
Many people notice that tinnitus is more intrusive during periods of stress, fatigue or poor sleep. Support strategies can help reduce the impact tinnitus has on these parts of life.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. You are welcome to bring a partner, family member, friend or support person to your appointment.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

See what clients from Albury, Wodonga and surrounding communities say about their experience with Essence Audiology.
Walked in off the street. Just arrived in Albury. Reception staff were courteous and very helpful. Given an appointment the following day with the lady audiologist, who provided excellent advice and service.
No pressure was applied in the choosing of my new hearing aids. After being with one Australian wide company for 15 years, I appreciate now the benefits of the independent advice and excellent service given by Essence Audiology.
Jeanette Klotz
My experience at Essence was great. With other audiologists I was put off by their hard-sell manner, & reluctant to visit an audiologist again. Essence, on the other hand, has been a breath of fresh air. Very professional yet friendly and helpful staff.
I was certainly offered upgrades, but it was done in a helpful, pressure-free manner. The fitting & adjustment of my new hearing aids was also quite an experience, especially how they were able to fine tune them to suit my needs.
My sincere thanks to Essence Albury!
Ray B
I cannot speak highly enough of Caitlin and Sarah. I felt that I was really heard in terms of my hearing needs and barriers I was facing.
Caitlin provided suggestions for improving my hearing in various situations, including work and social environments, and supported my use of technology with some great advice and training. I felt valued and at no point was I coerced into purchasing products I did not need.
At FoH Sarah was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Altogether a very satisfying experience
Alice Glachan
As usual, I found Essence to be extremely good. On my visit for my hearing aid maintenance check, I was treated as a valued client, and they replaced an ear tube and checked my ears for wax, amongst other things.
I can hear quite a bit better now because they found and removed all the wax. Totally happy with the service and attention that I received.
Thanks Essence!
