Hearing and Tinnitus Center (Part of Empire Hearing & Audiology by AudioNova)

Our Doctors of Audiology take the time to thoroughly understand your experience with tinnitus along with your previous medical history. Certain medical conditions are strongly correlated with tinnitus, therefore gaining insight into your overall health is important in conjunction with a comprehensive hearing evaluation.

While there is no cure for tinnitus, there are effective approaches to treat the symptoms. Our primary goal is to minimize the emotional impact of tinnitus by decreasing distress, calming the emotional brain, and improving sleep habits. Treating tinnitus is not a one size fits all, and we value the importance of a customized approach to your individual experience.

Our Doctors of Audiology are skillfully trained in the latest tinnitus relief therapies that can be personalized for your tinnitus needs. At this time, hearing aids are one of the most effective options for tinnitus management as they will improve your hearing and reduce your perception of tinnitus. However, there are many other options that may be appropriate and beneficial for you.

Misophonia is a neurophysiologic condition in which soft and repetitive auditory sounds elicit a strong and unwanted emotional response. While there is no cure for misophonia, there are ways to manage the emotional impact of this condition. Our Doctors of Audiology will outline a multidisciplinary treatment plan that is customized specifically to your needs that may include sound therapy and/or accommodations for the school or workplace.

Hyperacusis is a disorder in loudness perception causing daily sounds to seem uncomfortably loud. This can have a significant impact on many aspects of a person’s life — disrupting their career, social life, and peace of mind. Our Doctors of Audiology provide state-of-the-art evaluation and treatment for patients with hyperacusis and will recommend various sound enrichment options based on test results.
